Who are Love Island new boys Tom and Jordan? Lads arrive after recoupling

A new on Love Island brings two new arrivals in the shape of Jordan Hames and Tom Walker.

Before it even happened, Sunday night's recoupling already caused its fair share of drama as Joe and Lucie feuded over her friendship with Tommy and Tommy had to pick between Molly-Mae and Maura.

In a bit of a shock move, he ended up sticking by Molly, but the drama didn't end there as it was revealed - by text of course! - that single girls Maura and Anna would be whisked off to enjoy dates with two new boys - Tom and Jordan.

And back in the villa, the couples were told they'd need to vote against each other and choose who they think are the most incompatible on the show.

But, anyway back to Jordan and Tom, who we'll get a proper look at on Monday night's Love Island.

Who are they?

Jordan Hames, 24, Manchester

The Northern model says he is the perfect Islander because "I bring something different to the other Islanders.

"I’ve got good energy, I’m really bubbly.

"I’ve got younger siblings I’m always teasing, so I think I’ll be a bit of a joker of the pack!"

And on the subject how far he'll go to find love in the villa, he says "I’m going in on my own, although I want to get

along with the lads because I’m a lads’ lad, I’m there for myself so if I see a girl I want, I’m going to go for it.

"If someone’s official I wouldn’t go and steal their girl, but there’s a lot of ‘half’ relationships up in the air. I

think there’s a gentleman way to go about things.

"I’m not one to do mates over like that. If I go for it, I’ll do it in the right way."

Tom Walker, 29, Leeds

Tom actually has a link to the North East as his parents are from Bishop Auckland.

Describing why he is the perfect addition to the villa, the model says "I’m fun and energetic. I tend to get on with boys

and girls.

"I’m a people person. I enjoy finding out about people. I’m also opinionated and enjoy good discussions."

Likr Jordan, Tom is keen to get on with the other Love Island boys, but also wants to find love, saying "I’m a man’s man. I get on well with guys, I’ve grown up playing football.

"But I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do. We’re all in there for the same reason."
