LOVE Island fans think they have figured out exactly when the villa divide came to fruition.
Loyal ITV2 viewers took to social media as they revealed the exact moment the girls started to turn on each other.
In recent scenes on the long-running dating show, we saw the departure of Helena Ford and Blu Chegini.
Conor Phillips and Megan Forte-Clarke were also dumped from Love Island, just days before the grand finale.
This may have signalled the end of the highly-publicised villa divide between the girls.
Millions of viewers have watched the likes of Toni Laites and Shakira Khan clash with Helena and Meg Moore.
Things got especially heated when Harry Cooksley's head was turned back to Shakira after he made his partnership with Helena 'exclusive'.
But one viewer noticed that the divide came about a long time before the infamous Grafties ceremony.
On fan forum platform Reddit, one informed fan noticed that the girls were splitting in the villa all the way back in episode two of the 2025 series.
A throwback clip posted on the platform, in a thread titled 'Episode 2- the start of the divide'.
In the video, Shakira made a new best friend in Toni after her bombshell arrival and the duo gossiped together by the firepit.
This was as Alima Gagigo, Sophie Lee, Megan, Helena, and Meg were all sitting together in a separate part of the villa.

Shakira told the Las Vegas cabana server that she felt like she was judged from the rest of the girls for chatting with so many of the boys so early on.
She remarked: "I'm not joking, getting ready then the vibes felt so off.
"So it's not enough to like pick up on and say something about because it's nothing that is being said, but it's the energy.
Toni replied: "You know everyone is interested in you."
Then Shakira stated: "I've been grafting, but I feel like the girls don't appreciate that.
"But equally what's stopping them from doing the same thing? We've all been here [only] a day.
She added: "Like, I think I have a right to get to know everybody."
Meanwhile in the separate sofa area, Meg remarked: "The problem is, thinking of what Maya said last night, I think it is in Shakira's court.

"That's why she's been grafting her f****** a*** off today."
To which Helena sarcastically responded: "I think she fancies everyone doesn't she?"
She jokingly added: "She probably fancies the plants!"
Captioning the preview, the fan wrote: "Is this when the 'bullying' started?
"This was only episode two and watch how they treat Shakira."
In the captions below, fans seemed to concur that this was the moment the villa divide started.
One fan posted: "Yep the twist of Shakira being single and having to graft the boys to stay def started the divide."
While a second added: "I'm no Shakira-Harry fan, but as a guy, it always came across to me that jealousy was a primary motivator in those in the villa that disliked her."
