She said: "I've never met him but, one of my best boy mates on the outside is his best mate. He's a bit of a player, like a lad's lad."

Viewers were confused during Billy's debut episode as he tried to form a connection with Paige Thorne. Billy offered to make Paige's breakfast if she correctly guessed the month of his birthday.

The Islander was in disbelief when Paige answered "May" and proceeded to make her eggs and soldiers the following morning. However, viewers following the show on Twitter uncovered his birthday was actually in November.

Hi added: "I knew Billy’s birthday wasn’t it May"

Aman commented : "Billy definitely lied about his birthday month, this man knows the game"

Muna posted: "Billy's birthday is definitely not in may"

@rain_xgs added: "BILLY’S BIRTHDAY ISN’T EVEN IN MAY"
