The lads would be another huge booking for ITV2's Love Island, as they follow big names like Becky Hill, Joel Corry and Sean Paul.

It would be a big deal for Jax, 35, too, after he hilariously once joked he would never be cast in the matchmaking series.

In 2018, he Tweeted: “I think the worst thing about watching Love Island is knowing I’m nowhere near fit enough to be on it.”

Calum, 34, would enter the villa fresh from The Brits at London’s O2 arena, where he’s nominated for Best International Single with Lost Frequencies, Where Are You Now.

Becky made a surprise visit to the villa to lift the Islanders' spirits after all the drama in Casa Amor.

She followed in the footsteps of , Craig David and Sean Paul.

Speculation of the popstars' appearance came after The Sun exclusively revealed the Love Island final date.

It means the lovebirds including Will Young, 23 and Jessie Wynter, 28, plus Lana Jenkins, 26 and Ron Hall, 26, don’t have long left in the villa.
