The Sun Online previously revealed that Leicester City star Ben, 22, dumped the the glam brunette last year - and he is fuming with her decision to go in the Love Island villa.

A source said: "Ben has been left furious by her going on the show even though he dumped her at the end of last summer because he wanted to be single.

"They had stayed good friends until when she told him she was going on Love Island.

"She thought Ben was partying too much and he thought she was the right person at the wrong time."

The insider went on to tell us that Joanna had been approached by Love Island bosses when she was still with the ace but she turned them down.

The former WAG has wiped all the photos with Ben from her Instagram page as she looks to find a new man in the villa, and was originally on the shortlist to be part of the original line-up on launch night.

Ben has also deleted all trace of Joanna from his social media page.

Last week, The Sun Online revealed that fan-favourite Casa Amor will hit our screens in the coming days, with 12 new stars flying to Majorca for the biggest shake-up yet.

The move will see all of the couples split up as the girls relocate to a separate villa where they will be joined by six hunky men.

Meanwhile, a bevvy of girls - including Joanna - will move into the main villa in a bid to woo the current boys.

In last year’s series the boys were taken to Casa Amor where Jack Fincham was faced with the arrival of his ex-girlfriend Ellie Jones.

Georgia Steel was left humiliated after partner Josh Denzel walked back into the villa hand-in-hand with Kaz Crossley after his head was turned.

So far this year, Amy Hart and Curtis Pritchard are the most established couple, with Amber Gill and Michael Griffiths also going strong.

Last night's recoupling saw the emergence of four new couples, with Danny Williams causing shockwaves when he chose newcomer Arabella Chi over his previous partner, Yewande Biala.

Anna Vakili and Jordan Hames, and Tom Walker and Maura Higgins also became official couples as they pursue a romantic connection.

Meanwhile, the twist will be good news for Lucie Donlan and Anton Danyluk, who are currently single in the villa and coupled up as friends.

The first hunk to be part of the Casa Amor line-up was revealed earlier today, with "ruthless" builder Dan Rose set to enter the villa with his sights set on Amy.

The 23-year-old could spell trouble for the air stewardess' "half-boyfriend" Curtis when he makes his show debut later this week.
