The fan-favourite movie night was upon Love Island fans once again on Friday - and it didn't disappoint.

There were more fireworks than ever before, with secrets exposed and relationships tarnished - in particular that between supposed 'best friends' Meg Moore and Helena Ford.

They'd enjoyed a close-knit friendship since entering the villa at the beginning of series 12, but things turned sour after Dejon Noel-Williams, who's been coupled up with Meg, returned from Casa Amor.

The semi-professional footballer had enjoyed a number of flirtatious chats with bombshell Andrada Pop, leading to Helena and Harry Cooksley questioning his 'spark' with Meg.

And when those comments were laid bare in a shocking clip shown during movie night, an explosive feud ensued between former besties Helena and Meg.

'I don't think there's a massive spark between those two. You see them together and they don't really do anything,' a laughing Helena quipped in the clip.

It prompted an angry response from Meg, who hit-back at the blonde stunner: 'Why are you laughing at that? That's crazy.

'From my best friend and Dejon's best friend, that is a crazy comment to make.'

She later added: 'Yeah, I am (pd off). As our best friends, you're telling me one thing and telling him another.'

Love Island viewers were quick to pick sides in the argument, with many accusing Helena of 'betraying' her pal.

They took to X with their views, posting: 'Meg and Dejon realising together that Helena is a snake is CRAZY',

'Only time I'm supporting mug... i mean meg, is against helena!!!',

'Helena admitting that Dejon doesn't like Meg as much as he leads on but not telling her earlier on just shows the type of friend she is cause she's clearly just not come to this realisation',

'meg clocking onto helena’s snakiness oh yup',

Dejon (left) and Meg (right) had been happily coupled up throughout the series, with the pair even 'closing things off' earlier in the episode, but tensions rose during the Love Island Oscars

Elsewhere during the famed Love Island movie night, Helena was at the centre of even more drama as the islanders were shown clips of Shakira Khan and Toni Laites talking about her behind her back.

Helena and Shakira haven't seen eye-to-eye throughout the series after they both battled it out to earn the affections of Harry Cooksley, now coupled up with the blonde beauty.

The row reached boiling point when Helena enjoyed a smooch with Harry while wearing Shakira's bikini, with the villa shown a clip on Friday of Khan bad-mouthing her fellow islander to Toni.

'She's 23. Why's she going for a 30-year-old,' Shakira quipped before criticising Helena's appearance in the skimpy swimsuit.

And Helena wasted no time in firing back at Shakira after the clip finished, crying: 'Fk me, you were really gunning for me in that mate. It's giving mean girl energy, we're not in school.'

Surprisingly, Meg actually supported Helena despite their earlier row, quipping: 'I don't think the bikini comments are nice, don't put a girl down about what she wears.'

As the episode reached its climax, an argument also sparked between Meg and Shakira as tensions in the villa spilled over.

A clip was shown of Meg criticising Shakira and Toni, with Shakira later calling her out by saying: 'What happened to mean girl comments? Everyone has their fair share. Don't act all innocent with a halo around your head; everyone knows you put your two pence in.'

Which prompted a fiery response from Meg, replying: 'Pipe down Shakira; you can't even win an argument with me hun'.

As the situation boiled over, Shakira then responded: 'Shut the f up Meg! It's nothing to do with mean girl; you haven't got a halo around your head either! You do the exact same s.'

The drama continues on Sunday at 9pm on ITV2.
