With the 2023 winter season of Love Island<\/a> hitting the half-way mark, it\u2019s officially time for the return of Casa Amor<\/a> \u2013 the ultimate challenge that tests even the strongest couples in the reality show villa.<\/p>\n

The annual event sees the girls head off to a brand new villa where they spend three days with six new boys, while six new girls get to know the remaining men back at basecamp.<\/p>\n

After several days, the girls then return to the main villa, either by themselves or with a new boy in tow and over the years, we\u2019ve seen some incredibly dramatic reunions \u2013 from Michael Griffith\u2019s betrayal of 2019 winner Amber Gill to last year\u2019s Andrew-Tasha showdown.<\/p>\n

Casa Amor couldn\u2019t have come at a better time for the islanders, with Shaq Muhammad<\/a> and Tanya Manhenga<\/a> currently on the rocks. Ron Hall<\/a> has insisted that he\u2019s now committed to Lana Jenkins<\/a>, but could the newbies turn his head?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the new Casa Amor cast members ahead of Sunday night.<\/p>
