Love Island is ‘sending two new bombs to the village to shake things up’… days after launch
Love Island started less than 24 hours ago and is reportedly already preparing to welcome two new contestants.
The ITV2 show kicked off its winter series in South Africa on Monday night, with the first batch of contestants forming five pairs, before bombshell Tom Clare ended the episode with his arrival.
And now, sources allegedly say that the show is “not playing”, as the newcomers have already landed in Cape Town before their arrival.
‘They’re not playing games’: Love Island is reportedly sending two new bombs into the villa to shake things up… just days after filming began.
Even though the new islanders have just settled in to their new partners, the newcomers are ready to shake things up before anyone gets too comfortable.
said a source He donorth: ‘Love Island is not playing this year and two new bombs are headed for the village to shake things up.
“It makes the show really exciting to watch and gives the villagers a chance to deviate if they’re not happy with who they’re with.
“Three bombs in a week is huge for Love Island and will make life in the village very interesting,” they explained.
A source reportedly said: “It makes the show really exciting to watch and gives those in the villa a chance to stray if they’re not happy with who they’re with.”
First Bombshell: As Monday’s episode kicked off the new series, bombshell Tom Clare was late to stir the pot.
Host Maya Jama arrived at the villa with a shocking announcement Monday, just hours after the islanders arrived.
She came with the news that there was a new arrival, before footballer Tom came in.
The hunk will choose a girl to partner with during Tuesday night’s episode, in turn breaking one of the existing partners.
Tune in: During the first episode on Monday, blonde beauty Lana Jenkins, 23, was paired up with Ron Hall, 25, as they were dubbed the first few episodes a “power couple” after seeming to hit it off immediately.
Sparks flying: Another couple who seemed to get off to a good start were Tanya Manhenga, 22, and Shaq Muhammad, 24, who were the first to pick each other in the pairing.
Before their arrival, the five girls chose which of the five boys they wanted to be in a relationship with when they first set foot in the villa.
