We might be just days away from the Love Island 2022 final, but that hasn’t stopped Love Island from throwing in new bombshells.

This week, four new Love Island bombshells will enter the villa, following a dumping of two islanders, and one of the newbies is footballer Jamie Allen from Preston.

At 27, Jamie is ready to settle down, and he isn’t afraid to step on the other islanders’ toes to get the girl he wants.

When asked if he’s competitive, he said: “Absolutely, I play football every single day and in terms of stepping on people’s toes we are all in there for the same reason so I wouldn’t have a problem upsetting a few people. I am coming in a bit later so I probably will upset a few lads but you gotta do what you gotta do.”

As he joins the Love Island 2022 line-up, here’s everything you need to know about Jamie.
