Meet the new Love Islanders! A Vogue model, a famous actor’s daughter and Harry Redknapp’s PT: 12 sexy new singletons are about to ‘do bits’ and cause splits as they arrive in the villa and Casa Amor

The holiday of a lifetime awaits a brand-new influx of Islanders on ITV2’s Love Island on Thursday, as the show gets ready to enjoy some further twists and turns from the heady heights of Casa Amor.
Six beautiful new ladies and a further six hunky men are set to make their debut and will no doubt test the strength of the couples who have vowed not to have their heads turned.
As always, the Islanders must couple up in order to secure their place in the villa, with those who stay single finding themselves at risk of being dumped from the island.
There may be trouble ahead: Are the newbies going to cause major tension in the villa now that nearly everyone is coupled up already?
The girls all seem pretty taken with gym bunny Anton Danyluk, 24 – but are their feelings real or are they just trying to get the attention of the only single man in the villa in a bid to stay on the show?
Among the sexy new ladies, is a Vogue model, actor Tamer Hassan’s daughter, Belle and the first ‘Arabian Princess’ to enter the villa this year.
And there are some really sporty types among the boys, including a professional basketball player, a football and Harry Redknapp’s personal trainer.

Making room for the new Islanders are Arabella Chi, 28, and Tom Walker, 27, who were axed from the villa on Thursday.
Arabella had coupled up with Danny Williams, 21, after driving a wedge between him and Yewande Biala, 23, causing her to have to leave the villa.
Her final words were, ‘what goes around comes around,’ before she left and she was right as Danny will now find himself a single man.
Tom also ‘walked’ after upsetting Maura Higgins, 28, for a second time after calling her ‘cringe’ and an ‘attention seeker’, after previously saying he wanted to find out if she was ‘all mouth’ and would sleep with him.

Meanwhile, this time last year, Casa Amor caused some serious bother when Jack Fincham was sent there with the rest of the male Islanders, and his ex Ellie Jones made a surprise appearance.
Dani Dyer, who was coupled up with him at the time, was left in tears for 24 hours when she was shown a video of Jack as Ellie walked into Casa Amor.
Convinced he was having his head turned and she had lost it, she was left devastated. However, he remained loyal to her until they split for good in April.
