Who is Josh Ritchie? Love Island: All Stars 2024 contestant
The season 1 finalist is ruffling some feathers in the villa tonight.
Love Island season 1 alum Josh Ritchie entered the villa last month and after some major grafting sessions, he is currently fairly smitten with new bombshell Sophie Piper.
Josh's entrance came after ex-Islander Jake Cornish made the decision to leave the show. Upon his entrance, Josh took three Islanders out on dates, but it wasn't any of them he struck up a connection with.
In recent episodes, Josh has been stepping on some toes and Georgia Harrison is having none of it. During a game, the Islanders had to vote for the couple they thought were the biggest game players and when Josh made a point about Georgia H and Anton Danyluk, the former was less than impressed.
In an exclusive first look, Georgia took issue with Josh saying things behind her back when he is her "best mate", and with just over a week left until the Love Island: All Stars final – how will Josh continue to fare in the villa?
