The cast of Love Island has been under the microscope since they entered the house just over two weeks ago.
On Twitter, critics of the show have not shied away from sneering about the education of this year’s cohort with presenter Tina De famously writing: ‘More people applied for Love Island than Oxbridge. Let that sink it.’
But now it seems show bosses may be trying to lure in a higher caliber of contestants with the introduction of two new women tonight – including a Whitehall policy adviser.
New girl: Love Island is set for another shake up as it has been announced that new girls Ellie Brown (pictured) and government adviser Zara McDermott are to enter the villa on Sunday
This evening’s programme will see Ellie Brown and government adviser Zara McDermott head into the villa.
Following the exit of unlucky-in-love couple Hayley and Charlie, it was announced that two new arrivals will be heading into the show on Sunday.
During a preview clip for the upcoming episode at the end of the show Ellie, 20, announced that she is best described as ‘cute but psycho’.
She said: ‘I think boys would describe me as cute but psycho if they treat me bad.’
‘I could fall in love with a piece of bread if it said the right things to us.
‘They need to act right and I’ll be the beast girlfriend ever but if they treat me bad, I’ll make their life hell.’

However some viewers seemed confused by Ellie’s bread commenting, questioning why she was entering Love Island if all she wants is a slice of bread.
One Twitter media user joked: ‘Ellie would fall in love with a piece of bread? Why you going on love island then? Warburtons wasn’t hiring? #LoveIsland’
However another added that she admired her love bread: “I could fall in love with a piece of bread if it said the right things to me.” Really Ellie? God love a girl who isn’t afraid to admit she loves a good slice of toast or sandwich. #loveisland’

Zara, 21, then strutted on to the screen in a turquoise two-piece, making sure all eyes were on her toned physique.
Introducing herself, she said: ‘I think I’m a catch. I’m definitely a catch.
‘I tend to go for guys who are emotionally unavailable, don’t want relationships but love to give me a chase.
‘I’ve definitely got the brains and yeah, they just need to look good.
‘But that makes me sound so shallow.

Fans were rejoicing during the show as Hayley Hughes and Charlie Frederick were finally dumped from the villa.
The duo’s exit was nothing short of frosty as the hunk blamed the blonde beauty’s ‘cold’ behaviour for their departure.
Fans of the ITV2 mainstay seemed to agree, as they rushed to social media to slam the Liverpudlian, along with celebrating that she had been voted off the show.
It proved to be tense evening as Caroline Flack entered to reveal which couple had been dumped from the villa, after the public had been voting between Alex and Samira and Hayley and Charlie.
After it was revealed that the blonde duo had been sent packing, Charlie appeared to blame Hayley’s ‘cold’ manner for the reason they were dumped.
In an awkward exit Charlie said: ‘Pretty savage to be dumped from the villa this early. I just feel you were a bit cold.’

Hayley furiously responded: ‘Things don’t need to end bitter.’
Charlie added: ‘I just said we’ll stay as friends’ to which the model angrily replied: ‘I don’t have nothing else to say.’
The pair had been at each other’s throats throughout Friday’s show, and even had a nasty argument just minutes before Caroline arrived at the villa.
Charlie began by saying that he was not surprised that their fellow islanders had viewed them as incompatible, to which she replied that he was behaving in an ‘angry’ manner.
He quipped back: ‘Why would you pick me? You’re still so cold. I’m not here to be mugged off and kept at arms length. I think I’ve dealt with it quite well to be honest.’
‘You’re f*****g boring. Ease down we’ve only been in couple for one night,’ Hayley then added before storming off.
Bye! Fans were rejoicing during the show as Hayley Hughes and Charlie Frederick were finally dumped from the villa
