Love Island announces new bombshell hours after couple torn apart

Love Island has confirmed a new bombshell will enter the villa on Wednesday night, just hours after a major twist.

Whitney Adebayo will become the second new arrival, and the first female bombshell, of the new series.

She wastes no time in getting to know the Islanders too, whisking newly single André Furtado off on a date after his original partner was stolen by bombshell Zachariah.

On Monday night, fans saw the moment host Maya Jama told Zachariah he would need to steal someone's girl in 24 hours time.

Tuesday's episode saw the moment arrive, and the bombshell picked Catherine Agbaje who was paired up with André.

In the next visit to the villa, viewers will see the fallout to this decision - leading to André getting some big news after learning he was at risk of being dumped.

He gets a famous text message, which reads: "André, Whitney is waiting for you at the beach for a champagne date! Please get ready to leave the Villa. #BigDayForDre #BaeWatch."

Unable to hide his excitement, he exclaims in the beach hut: “You’ve made my day!”

Viewers will see him then head to the beach to meet the new girl, but will they form a new alliance, and how will Catherine feel about it?

It follows reports this week that Love Island had to halt filming on the very first day as an Islander needed medical attention.

According to reports, paramedics "rushed to the villa" to offer medical attention to an Islander after they felt unwell.

Catherine was said to have been seen by paramedics after having a funny turn during filming for the new series this week.

The show launched on Monday night, and according to reports the first day saw Catherine needing to be seen by the villa's medical team.

It's claimed she "started to feel ill" and stopped filming with her co-stars, with filming postponed until Catherine was ready to continue.

The ill health was put down to "heat, nerves and not eating enough", while a source claimed the contestant's welfare "was the priority", hence filming being halted temporarily.

A source told The Mirror: "Catherine was seen instantly by one of the 24 hour medics which resulted in a short pause in filming, once the medic was happy with her temperature she was fine to continue with the rest of filming."

A second source told The Sun: "The heat, nerves and not eating enough was the cause of her turn and she returned to filming not long after.

“Either that or the shock of being paired with Andre Furtado was a little too much to handle.”

Love Island airs all this week at 9PM on ITV2 and ITVX.
