ITV had previously teased that audiences could see bombshells from a variety of postcodes, some of whom don't live in the UK.

Love Island's creative director Mike Spencer-Hayter said ahead of the series launch: "I will say, some things should be kept a secret.

"You can imagine that we have a very exciting order of bombshells and they might have different postcodes."

Amongst the bombshells heading into the villa is Imani Wheeler, who is hoping to have a better Love Island experience than she did on her original series.
