Josh Le Grove has revealed he was originally meant to enter the Love Island villa as a bombshell.
The 22-year-old Essex lad joined the cast of the ITV2 dating show as part of the dramatic Casa Amor challenge alongside five other hunky singletons.
However, he’s since revealed that bosses were forced to make changes to the line-up following Liam Llewellyn’s shock departure in the first week.

The Welshman left the villa after 36 hours and told his cast mates that he wasn’t “giving 100 per cent Liam”.
His exit meant that the order of new bombshells got shuffled around.

Opening up about his time on the show at the National Reality TV Awards, Josh told Daily Star said: “I was going to come in as the second bombshell, flew out but it got changed to Casa Amor.
“I think it was because Liam left and I think the order mixed up a little bit.
“I wanted to go in as a bombshell but glad I did Casa Amor.”
Since getting the boot from the villa, Josh has found romance with co-star Summer Botwe.
