Love Island’s Gemma Owen has revealed her ex-boyfriend is set to enter the villa as the latest bombshell on the ITV dating show.
During Friday’s (June 10) instalment of the popular reality show, the boys matched up with their partners in the villa for the first time after, which left Paige Thorne and Afia Tonkmor single.
Luckily for them, Masters student Liam Llewellyn let the villa earlier that day meaning there was no one left for the girls to couple up with which saved them from being dumped from the island.
But as the freshly single ladies adjust to their new life without a partner, Liam Sterling warned fans of the show another hunky bombshell was set to enter the show on Sunday night.
