LOVE Island shocked viewers last night as four new bombshells entered the villa just days before the show is due to end.

Two boys - Jamie and Reece - and two girls - Lacey and Nathalia - were unveiled, unsettling contestants with their unexpected entrance.

And it turns out new hunk Jamie Allen, 27, a footballer, already knows three Love Islanders.

A source told The Sun: “Jamie knows Michael Griffiths socially, and he has mutual friends with Aaron Simpson and Dennon Lewis who've both been on the show - Aaron and Jamie played at Dover but during separate seasons, and Dennon played in the same league a few years back so that's their connection.

“They definitely would have spoken about going on the show and how to play it.”

ITV have been approached for comment.

The source added: "He'll be fined for missing pre-season training if the club keeps him on - it'll be a huge fine too."

His club, Halifax Town, released a statement that said: "Jamie Allen has decided to join the cast of Love Island 2022, making his intentions clear that the opportunity is very important to him.

"The matter will be reviewed on his return."

The four new bombshells who’ve entered the villa are expected to ruffle some feathers as many of the couples are pretty loved up, with several even dropping the 'L' bomb this week.

Speaking about his decision to enter the villa, Jamie said: “Now I am 27, I want to find someone, have a genuine connection and fall in love so Love Island is the perfect place for me to find that.”

When it comes to love, he said that he's "really a slow burner as he's never been in love and has a high guard all the time".

"It takes a lot for that barrier to come down, but once it is down, I am all for it," he explained.

The footballer said his family would describe him as "the one that gets all the girls, is confident, funny, and easy to get along with".

And he has an impressive home to show for his career so far too – living in a stylish abode with a modern kitchen and marble worktops.

He’s admitted that when it comes to selfies though he’s far from shy, and takes them in his long wall mirror.
