LOVE Island fans claim Ben looked “like he was being held hostage” after being chosen by Yasmin in tonight’s recoupling.
Having been dumped by Shakira days earlier after she criticised his lack of conversational skills, Ben had been forced to look elsewhere.

Tonight, the girls got to choose which boy they wanted to partner with and Yasmin, having failed to strike up a meaningful connection elsewhere, decided to pair with Ben.
Yasmin said in her speech: “My romantic journey so far has been all over the shop.
“I think although it’s early days when I have conversations with this person I feel he just gets me. I came here to explore romantic connections and I think I’m really looking forward to this one. So the boy I’m coupling up with is Ben.”
Viewers felt Ben’s face betrayed his real feelings and picked up on the very awkward body language between them as they sat side by side.
The camera even caught Ben retracting his arm from behind Yasmin’s back.
One viewer wrote: “I don’t think Ben likes Yasmin.”
A second said: “Ben looks like he’s been held hostage.”
A third wrote: “Ben and Yasmin are the most unlikely pair ever, sharing zero in common!”
Another posted: “Ben looks like he’s being held captive by Yasmin right now.”
But all hope wasn’t lost as the pair got to know each other better the next day.
Yasmin massaged sun cream into Ben’s back and he told her that her speech was “cute”, while she said it “came from the heart”.
But he risked undoing his progress as he failed to pick up on her sarcasm when she joked that he had a way with words, and then admitted he didn’t know what “demeanor” meant.
