ITV Love Island's new bombshell's famous dad is a former I'm A Celebrity winner

The daughter of a former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here star is set to ruffle feathers as she makes her way into the Love Island villa. Viewers of the ITV2 dating show have so far this week been treated to the fallout from a surprise recoupling which followed a double dumping in South Africa over the weekend.

Following the exit of Aaron Waters and Spencer Wilks, the islanders were informed that it was time to re-couple via a text. The group gathered around the firepit and whilst most of the girls' picks were expected, Lana Jenkins left jaws on the floor as she chose to couple up with bombshell Casey O’Gorman.

The 25-year-old make-up artist left former love interest Ron Hall gutted but despite her decision, she later admitted she would rather be sharing a bed with the 25-year-old financial adviser.

But the couples are set to be rocked again with the arrival Claudia Fogarty. The 24-year-old, from Blackbrun, is the daughter of motorcycle racing legend and winner of I'm A Celebrity 2014 winner Carl Fogarty.

She is set to shock the Islanders as the saucy dance-off challenge makes its return to the show, in which, the boys and girls perform some sexy dances to and on each other around the fire pit in various outfits. After the girls have completed the challenge, Claudia will then make her entrance, dressed in a sultry red angel outfit.

A preview for Tuesday night's episodes hears her say: "Let’s really get them hearts racing…" Claudia's appearance on the winter edition of the hit dating show was revealed earlier this week when a source told The Sun: "Claudia is ready to strut into the villa imminently.

"She’s classy, beautiful and well-educated and is set to have all the boys fighting over her." They continued: "Her life might be glamorous but family means everything to her and she’d love to meet the man of her dreams and settle down. But she’s promised not to be too raunchy, to save Dad’s blushes."

Claudia's dad Carl was already a big name on the motorcycle racing circuit but became a household name during his stint on I'm A Celeb in 2014. And he quickly won over viewers and was crowned King of the Jungle, winning the show, ahead of The X Factor's Jake Quickenden and TV presenter Melanie Sykes.

Jake actually went on to date Carl's other daughter, and Claudia's sister, Danielle. However, the pair split seven months after the singer and reality star got down on one knee and asked her to marry him in 2018.
