Love Island legend joins Towie in shock move – and will be seen on screen in just a few weeks time
LOVE Island legend Bianca Gascoigne has joined the cast of Towie.
The 36 year-old glamour model and reality star has been filming scenes for the ITVBe series today with the rest of the cast.
Bianca starred in the second series of Love Island back in 2006, when it aired on ITV and was known as Celebrity Love Island.
She won the series alongside Calum Best but the show was axed, only to be revived in 2015 by ITV2 - minus the celebrity element.
Now Bianca is returning to her reality TV roots by joining the long-running Essex-set series and was seen shooting with the show's stars earlier today.
Geordie Shore star Sophie Kasaei, who has joined the show now she is dating Jordan Brook, featured some stories from filming with Bianca in the footage.

The Sun has reached out to a rep for Towie for comment.
Bianca is quite the reality TV veteran. As well as Celebrity Love Island, she has starred in a celebrity edition of Gladiators and Celebrity Big Brother.
She also competed in the Italian version of Strictly Come Dancing and has popped up on Celebrity Coach Trip and Snog Marry Avoid.
Bianca welcomed her first child with partner Arron Wright earlier this year and has told for the first time how much she struggled throughout her pregnancy.
Bianca – daughter of famous footballer Paul – admitted she was depressed while carrying Blake Sunshine and had “serious doubts”.
In a lengthy post, the new mum candidly wrote: “My beautiful Blake Sunshine has made my world it seems incredible she has only been here for 6 weeks, I feel like she has been here forever..
“To think that when this picture was taken I was in such a different headspace. I’m ashamed to say at points during my pregnancy I wondered what the hell I was doing having a baby! I felt so disconnected and so down right up til delivery.”
Offering her support to others, Bianca continued: “I want to reach out to any expectant Mums out there going through something similar, you are not alone and things will totally change once you hold your gorgeous bundle in your arms.
“Please believe me. I got by on the hope that his would be true whilst still harbouring serious doubts….It really does happen….to think during the majority of those 9 months depressed, overwhelmed unsure of my future….. I want to have another!!??? Yes I am actually thinking towards having a second.”
