There are some surprises in store for the boys.
Love Island fans are bracing themselves for the chaos-bringing Casa Amor, with bombshell additions to the latest season ready to put the existing couples to the test.
In a twist, it appears that more than one of the boys could already know some of the new girls, with Emma seeming familiar to reality star Joey Essex as she issues a wake-up call.
Walking into their shared bedroom to summon them to the pool, she announces: “Good morning, boys… how are you all? You’re looking a bit tired. No words? Get your swim shorts on and get out, we’re all waiting for you.”
In the first look clip below, we get a glimpse of a shocked Joey, but what we don’t see is what comes next. The surprise contestant says to his fellow boys: “No, no, no, no… Bro, I know her. I know her, bro.”
He’s not alone, either. Later, while hanging out by the pool, Ciaran subtly lets slip that he knows bombshell girl Ellie, who greets him with: “Hello, stranger.”
Later, he confides that: “I think I slid into her DMs.”
The Casa girls arrive and it looks like not everyone is as ‘locked off’ as it seemed 😲 #LoveIsland pic.twitter.com/0wfZQGbBZc

If that wasn’t enough drama for you, Ayo looks to be seriously tempted away from his current partner Mimii, after bombshell girl Jessica expresses interest in him.
In a flirty conversation, she asks: “What’s your type?”
Ayo laughs: “I can’t say it… You, innit. I love a pretty face. That’s my problem.”
Jessica smiles: “Pretty faces are meant to cause problems.”
Ayo replies: “Facts… You are doing that as we speak. Causing problems.”
Jessica adds: “I’m actually not, but I have to make the most of it and go after what I want. I have, like, two that I’m drawn towards. I believe in the law of attraction. What you put out, you’ll manifest. And I think about Ayo, and here he is.”
Ayo will turn to Sean for some advice on how to proceed – but will it sway him one way or the other?
Sean tells Ayo: “Mimii’s amazing… but you’ve woke up buzzing, I can feel the energy between you and Jess proper like bouncing off each other.”
He replies: “It’s definitely good with Mimii. She brings that calm to me a lot more. She has a different energy to her.”
