Love Island reveals new bombshell set to cause stir in fallout to dramatic recoupling

Love Island has confirmed a hunky footballer is the latest contestant to enter the villa this series.

Just days after two new girls caused chaos and split up couples, resulting in an original girl being dumped, a new boy is on the way.

Love Island confirmed the news at the end of Wednesday's episode, in the fallout to a tense recoupling - and if the latest bombshells are anything to go by, the newcomer will cause more tension.

With several couples still keeping things open and very few Islanders fully committed, it will be interesting to see what the new guy brings.

The show revealed that goal keeper Scott van-der-Sluis will enter the villa in the next episode on Thursday night, with him being the sixth bombshell of the series so far.

Scott already has his eye on some of the girls, so we predict tension between the boys - but who will be won over by the footballer?

It comes as the show aired the second dumping of the series on Wednesday night, and viewers were not impressed as a popular contestant was voted off the show.

It was Ruchee who said goodbye to the villa for good, as her pal Ella was saved by their co-stars in the latest brutal dumping twist.

Following a dramatic recoupling, Ella was left single after new girl Leah stole her man Tyrique - while Ruchee was left alone after André picked Catherine.

As Ella and Ruchee waited to learn their fates, they were told one of them would be leaving and that the decision would be down to the other Islanders.

As Ruchee and Ella headed to the sundeck, their fellow Islanders deliberated amid Ella's ongoing connection to Tyrique.

It was this connection that gave Ella an advantage as Ruchee had no connection in the villa, and the Islanders believe Ella and Tyrique could still work.

This didn't make it any easier for some of the girls though, with Catherine saying: “This is very difficult, it’s obviously not nice seeing two of your friends standing up there.”

Jess added: “They both have amazing personalities and it’s just unfortunate that it’s come to this.”

Mitchel then said: “I get on with both of them, they’re both my mates and I adore Ruchee, she’s just had a bit of bad luck…”

As the group called the girls back to the fire pit, it was Mehdi who stood up to reveal the result and who was being dumped.

As Ella and Ruchee watched on, Mehdi confirmed they had decided to save Ella and that Ruchee would be dumped immediately.

There were tears as the Islanders struggled with their choice, and Ruchee reacted to leaving the show so soon.

Viewers were furious to see both girls single in the first place, not wanting either of them to leave just over a week into the series.

Love Island airs every night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
