Here’s a run down of Love Island’s new contestants as a group of 12 boys and girls join the show.
Yes, Casa Amor is returning for 2019 as a huge twist awaits this weekend.
The current six girls and guys will soon be split up across two separate villas: The original villa and second villa Casa Amor.
The boys will then be joined by six brand new girls while the original girls will spend time with six new guys.
At the end of the twist, each of the original Islanders will have to decide whether they want to stay with their previous partner or couple up with one of the newbies.
With all that drama to come, for now here’s all of the new Love Islanders (and their Instagram handles to stalk!)
Love Island’s new girls
Lavena Back
23-year-old business developer from Croydon
Instagram username: @iam_l.v
She says: I’m confident and I’m ready for love. I’ve been on my own for four years so whoever I meet in there I will fall for. I needed a while to get over my last relationship and really enjoy myself before I could commit to someone. But now I’m very much ready.”

Nabila Badda
29-year-old hostess from London
Instagram username: @nabilabadda
She says: “I’m exciting, bubbly and I’m feisty enough that if I want something I’ll go for it. Also I’ve got that exotic look that I think the villa is missing. My family are from Morocco and there hasn’t been an Arabian Princess in the villa yet this year!
“I’ll get on well with the boys and want to meet a guy that I can be best friends with, have a laugh with but also have cuddles in the evening with.”
Joanna Chimonides
22-year-old recruitment consultant from London
Instagram username: @joannachimonides
She says: “I’m overly honest but sometimes it gets me in trouble. I like to say things as they are, there’s no game playing with me.
Belle Hassan
21-year-old makeup artist from Bromley
Instagram username: @bellehassan
She says: “I’m fun, I’m funny and I’m flirty. Hopefully I’ll liven things up a bit, I’m looking to make everyone laugh and want to bring a new dynamic to the villa and have some fun.”

Jourdan Riane
24-year-old model/actress from Essex

Instagram username: @mariacarmelwild

Love Island’s Casa Amor boys
Stevie Bradley
21-year-old student from Isle Of Man
Instagram username: @stevie_bradley1
He says: “I am a cheerful, happy, charming, funny bloke. I don’t take myself too seriously, I’m chilled and try to get on with everyone.”
Marvin Brooks
29-year-old personal trainer and ex royal navy officer from Bournemouth
Instagram username: @marvinbrooks
He says: “I am strongly opinionated and very competitive. I’ve always been good at sports and without sounding big headed I’ve always done OK with the opposite sex, so coming up against the other good looking lads will definitely test me.”
Dennon Lewis
22-year-old professional footballer from Watford
Instagram username: @dennon_lewis
He says: “I’d say that I’m funny, energetic, I’m very positive and I have decent banter. That’s what you need in the villa.”

George Rains
22-year-old builder from Essex
Instagram username: @_georgerains
He says: “I’m chilled out, funny and I’ve got a lot of positive energy to bring. The last few months I’ve been staying in, saving up, working out and being boring so I’m looking for a bit of excitement.”
Dan Rose
21-year-old bathroom salesman from Nuneaton
Instagram username: @danrose_
He says: “I’m a cheeky lad, I’m confident and I reckon I’ve got the gift of the gab.”
Ovie Soko
28-year-old pro basketball player from London
Instagram username: @oviesoko
He says: “I’m a fun person, I demand attention without having to say too much and I’m laid back so feel like I’ll balance some of the personalities in the villa. I feel like I’m a wildcard.”

The Casa Amor twist will begin from Friday night.
