SHO-CK RETURN! The Challenge That Left Last Season’s Cast in Tears Is Back – And It’s Set to Spark Total Chaos
Love Island bosses are cranking up the drama dial once again as the savage Snog Marry Pie challenge makes its explosive return later this week.
The ITV2 hit has already delivered a rollercoaster week filled with Movie Night fallout, desperate grovelling from the boys, and a fiery feud between Lola and Julia. Now, producers are set to unleash one of the show’s most notorious games, guaranteed to leave Islanders reeling and viewers glued to their screens.

The challenge, which has historically reduced even the strongest contestants to tears, has been filmed and is days away from airing. Sources close to the production describe it as inevitable chaos that tests every couple’s bond to breaking point.
“Snog Marry Pie is always chaos,” an insider revealed. “It’s a hard game for the Islanders to make sure they keep everyone happy. Someone always gets upset when someone chooses to snog someone outside of their couple.”
The game’s brutal format forces Islanders to publicly choose who they would snog, marry, or pie — often exposing hidden attractions, secret resentments, and fragile relationships in the most humiliating way possible.
Last Year’s Heartbreak Still Lingers
Viewers still remember the emotional wreckage from last season, when the challenge left multiple Islanders in tears. Shakira Khan was left devastated after her partner Harry Cooksley chose to snog Helena, citing “undeniable sexual chemistry.”
Harry, 31, later attempted to propose to Shakira, 23, in a bid to smooth things over, but she was having none of it. The Burnley native broke down in floods of tears on the terrace, telling friends Toni Laites and Yasmin Pettet:
“I can handle all of them being b**es when I’ve got a good thing with Harry… Now everything has gone to sh**. Why the f* would he kiss Helena?”
Shakira’s raw pain highlighted exactly why Snog Marry Pie remains one of the most anticipated — and feared — challenges in the villa. The insider added that another inevitable outcome is backlash and accusations of bullying when certain Islanders receive more pies than fans believe they deserve.
A Drama-Filled Series Heads for Climax
With the series drawing closer to its dramatic finale, producers show no signs of easing the pressure. The return of Snog Marry Pie promises fresh rounds of public humiliation, relationship-shattering revelations, and the kind of explosive confrontations that have become Love Island’s signature.
Questions already swirling among fans include: Which Islanders will be left with a face full of pie? Who will risk everything by snogging outside their couple? And will this year’s cast manage to survive the emotional fallout better than last year’s?
One thing is certain — the villa is about to be shaken to its core. As the Islanders navigate this week’s explosive challenge, viewers should brace themselves for meltdowns, heated arguments, and moments that could send contestants storming off set.
The only question left is: who will crack first?
Stay tuned to ITV2 as Love Island continues to deliver the drama that keeps the nation hooked.
