Love Island is set to welcome four new bombshells into the villa on Wednesday, July 20, after two contestants are dumped from the Island. You can read more about this news here.
This comes as the current Islanders are set to choose which boy and which girl to send home after Danica Taylor, Billy Brown, Summer Botwe and Dami Hope found themselves in the bottom four after getting the least amount of votes from the public, during Tuesday night's show.
One of the bombshells set to shake things up in the villa is Lacey Edwards. A teaser clip for her first episode shows Lacey saying: "I am a sexy, single, show girl ready to turn some heads." But just who is this confident brunette set to join Love Island?

Who is Lacey Edwards?
Lacey is a professional dancer from Swindon. When asked why now was the time to sign up for Love Island, she said: “I’ve been dancing all over the world since I was 18 when I moved to France, I recently came to one of the ends of my contracts in France and I was like I am really ready to meet someone and my friends were like why haven’t you applied for Love Island before you’re literally perfect for it.”
The dancer has said that she is keen to bring "confidence" to the Love Island villa. She said: “I am bringing all my confidence, all my chat and I might do the splits occasionally to get some attention...”
Lacey, who cites being busy dancing all over the world as the reason that she is single, thinks that she "falls in love quite quickly". According to her though, she isn't sure whether she has been in love yet. “I am very passionate so I do fall in love quite quickly. I don’t actually know If I’ve been in love but I’ve been in lust quite quickly,” she said ahead of her appearance.
With the 2022 series of Love Island jam-packed with drama, Lacey also outlined things that give her the 'ick'. She said: “If someone doesn't have a sense of humour, if someone doesn’t like dogs. If someone is rude to waiters, I just think who do you think you are and also people that don’t like music, I really like music.”
She said that her family would describe her as “Funny, bubbly, positive". She added: "I like to bring people up, I like to make people feel good about themselves.”
How old is Lacey?
Lacey is 25-years-old and comes from Swindon.
What is Lacey's job?
Much like fellow Islander, Danica Taylor, Lacey is a professional dancer. According to the 25-year-old, her job has made her a "competitive" individual.
She said: “I am definitely competitive, probably too much even at mini golf. I’ve grown up at auditions with a thousand girls competing for five places and if you don’t want it and you’re not competitive, there’s no point showing up.
“I feel like it’s the same with guys within this context, we’ve all gone in to find someone and just because I am coming in later does not mean that I am not going to give it my all. There’s no problem with stepping on toes, I am a dancer, I can avoid them...”
But with so many couples now formed in the villa, will Lacey step on anyone's toes?
What is Lacey's Instagram?
You can find Lacey on Instagram @layedwards. Following the news that she'd be joining Love Island, her representatives posted the below image.
