SHE may have stolen Callum from Shaughna but in tonight’s episode, it’s actually Molly who steps in and asks the scaffolder to comfort the heartbroken Islander.

In a first look at the Casa Amor aftermath, Molly is seen grabbing Callum’s arm and encourages him to speak to Shaughna – who has been left visibly upset after a brutal dumping.

Meanwhile, Callum appears to be unaware of the upset he’s caused and excitedly chats to his fellow Islanders.

Struggling to hold back tears, Shaughna walks away from the rest of the group with the support of Paige, who says she’s “gobsmacked”.

“If he [Callum] thinks he’s coming to pull me [for a chat], that boy has got another thing coming,” says Shaughna as she sees Callum walking in her direction.

Earlier in the evening, a dramatic recoupling saw Callum return to the villa with new girl Molly on his arm.

Shaughna had previously told host Laura Whitmore she was “preparing for the worst” but was “hoping” Callum would stay loyal.

She said: “I’m nervous, I’m preparing for the worst, hoping for the best but I don’t have much faith.

“The past few days have definitely been an eye-opener, they’ve made me realise I probably moan at him way too much and I just miss having him around, so I do want him back, preferably on his own.”

But in tonight’s episode she declares she should “never have trusted him”.

She says: “I’m happy for Callum. I should have never trusted a scaffolder anyway.”

Meanwhile, Callum tells the group he went with his heart.

He says: “Obviously it’s not nice coming back to this. It’s a bit intense. But at the end of the day, I’ve gone with what I thought was the right decision, I’ve gone with my heart."

Trying to explain, he continues:  “I went to Casa Amor, I had a chance to speak to Molly, it brought out a side to me I didn’t think I had. The way I felt about her after 2/3 days just clarified it to be honest.

"Not to say anything against Shaughna, I wasn’t unhappy with her, it’s just that this has been a sign for me that something has been missing and I think I’ve found it with Molly."
