Kady McDermott’s return to the Love Island mansion is CONFIRMED as she is poised to cause some drama among the current islanders.
The influencer, 27, from Hertfordshire, was known for her fiery performance in series two, where she reached the final with her partner Scott Thomas.
And now she’s single and back to find love for a second time – and she’s already set her sights on Zach, Tyrique, and Mitch as her favorite guys.
Her return was teased at the end of Thursday’s episode when she walked into the villa in a sexy white bikini.
She’s also promised to return to some more of the “chaos” and “fiery persona” she became known for in series 2.
When asked why she decided to come back on the show, she said, “Not a lot of people can say they’ve been to Love Island, let alone do it twice!”

“I think from season 2 I’ve been known for being so chaotic. People always ask, “Are you sorry?” expected me to say yes, but I was so true to myself and I was 100% authentic.
“Now I will still be like this, but seven years later I am more mature. I’m still the fiery pocket rocket, but I know what I want and what I don’t want.
“Don’t get me wrong I keep being myself and the fire I have is in my soul I’ll never get rid of that and I love that about me but I’m much more mature emotionally now so I know how to navigate things better . I’ve grown a lot.
“The last time I went straight to work with Scott, I was so ‘tunnel vision’. It will be interesting to see what connections I form this time.”
Speaking of the guys she’s got her eyes on, she said, “Zach is my number one Tyrique on looks, but maybe he needs to suppress his ego a little bit.” I also want to get to know Mitch.
“Age is a big thing to me, immaturity in a man to me, it’s just a complete no. I don’t like guys who are too sassy, I just don’t trust them. Zach seems most chilled and fun to watch.”
Fans went wild over her return when one of them wrote, “THEY BRING KADY BACK??? I FALL ON MY KNEELS.’
Another wrote, “KADY FROM SEASON 2 LET’S GOOOOOO!”
A third wrote: ‘NAH didn’t Kady actually RETURN???? This season will be ELITE. I just know that Kady will fight every islander and the producers.”
Ahead of the villa, Kady also spoke about her expectations for the next person she is, saying she’s ready for marriage and babies.

Done: Kady explained: ‘I don’t want to waste any more time with the wrong people – so I think I’ll be a lot pickier than when I was at the Villa before’
Kady explained: “I don’t want to waste any more time with the wrong people so I think I’ll be a lot more picky than when I was at the Villa before.
“Seven years later, I think I can be more picky. In the Villa I think I’ll take my time.
“I’m not really dating, I’m just seeming to get into a relationship, I don’t know what that’s about. I won’t rush the next person I’m going to be with and I’ll be picky because they have to be the right person.”
She also gave her thoughts on the current islanders, admitting that she thought Mitch might be playing a game.
Kady added of the girls in the villa: ‘They look beautiful! But I’m a Virgo and I’ve never had a friend who’s a Virgo – Jess and Molly are both Virgos. It’s the two that I think are going one way or the other with me.
“We’ll either be really good friends, or maybe we’re a little different. Catherine seems very sweet, quite a loyal friend, Whitney let me die! You must have a funny friend. I’m pretty quick with my small talk, so I need someone soon.
‘I know about Leah, through friends, she’s a bit quieter, sweet. I like that Ella doesn’t take s***. I loved her honesty hour. We may be very similar. People kept telling me on Twitter that she and Tyrique are like Scott and me from series 2.”
Kady tied for third with ex-boyfriend Scott, 34, in 2016, while now-married couple Nathan Massey and Cara De La Hoyde won the £50,000 prize.
After a string of failed romances, including with Aston Villa footballer Matty Cash, ex-TOWIE star Myles Barnett, and Scott, with whom she lived in Manchester until their split in 2017, Kady hopes to find love again in the villa, where she arrives. this week like a shock bomb.
She follows in the footsteps of Adam Collard after he returned to the show last year after his stint in 2018, as well as Jessie Wynter, who starred in the Australian series but appeared in the British winter season in February.
Kady’s Love Island series saw the likes of Olivia and Alex Bowen, who are now married and share baby Abel together, meet for the first time.

Love Island made headlines in season two when former contestant Zara Holland was stripped of her Miss Great Britain title after having sex with Alex on TV, sparking controversy among the pageant community, who were accused of holding outdated and anti-feminist views.
Kady and Zara were love rivals in the villa after they both competed for Scott’s attention, but in the end it was Kady who won his heart.
The couple were together for over a year, with Kady moving to Manchester to be with Scott, whose brothers are soap opera actors Ryan, famous for his role in Coronation Street, and Adam, who starred in Emmerdale.
Scott now runs his own talent agency, The Social PR, and he hasn’t dated anyone in public since Kady.
