LOVE Island's latest stunning bombshell is set to enter the villa tomorrow night – and her arrival could spell trouble for Lauren.
Angel, a 26-year-old aesthetics practitioner and salon owner from Maidstone, was teased at the end of Thursday night’s episode.
She describes herself as a “20 out of 10” and says she’s ready to turn heads – particularly Ty’s.
The blonde beauty says: “I’d like to get to know Ty and see what he’s about."
Angel has been single for a year and says she’s going into the villa with the hope of finding a serious relationship.
She gushed: “It’s an amazing opportunity to make new connections and have new experiences. I’m ready to make memories with someone, go travelling with them and fall in love.”
When it comes to her type, Angel is looking for the classic “tall, dark and handsome,” with muscles, a nice smile, and a strong sense of humour.
She added: “Someone that’s family orientated and very needy for me."
Angel also made it clear she’s not afraid to step on toes.
“Breaking up another couple? That is what’s going to happen, so it’s quite exciting really,” she said.
Her arrival is expected to stir tensions in the villa, particularly between Lauren and Ty, who are currently coupled up.
Behind the scenes, producers are facing awkward questions after it emerged that Ty and Lauren already had history — months before the series even started.
The pair took part in ITV’s unfilmed rehearsal week in May, when they first got together.
They were then invited back by show bosses to join the series proper as part of Casa Amor where they coupled up with other Islanders.
Now back in the main villa, they have acted like strangers.
A source said: “Ty and Lauren are acting like they’ve only just met but that’s far from the case.
“They hooked up during the dry run, which is where a fake cast moves into the villa to test out everything from camera angles, to kitchen appliances and run-through challenges.
“And then they even saw each other on the outside before ITV invited them back to be part of Casa Amor.
“Now they’re both in the main villa pretending like none of this ever happened but it’s all entirely fake and ITV know about it.
“Viewers deserve to know it’s all a huge sham.”
COUPLING UP
Lauren, 26, was selected by Harrison Solomon, 23, whilst Ty was chosen by Shakira Khan, 22 in the mid-series relationship test earlier this month.
In a twist of fate, on Tuesday night both of Lauren and Ty were dumped by their partners so boomeranged back to each other.
Viewers watched a scene where the pair appeared to chat for the first time.
Ty said: “I feel like I’ve not really spoken to you. I feel like I’ve been catching eyes with you but I’ve not really had chance to speak to you.
Lauren giggled: “Yeah I know.”
He asked: “Are you still open? You knew that was coming. Obviously you’re an attractive girl.”
Lauren was unable to keep a straight face and laughed, as Ty added: “I feel like we’d get along.”
The source added: “Ty and Lauren don’t live far from each other at home and they continued seeing each other after the dry run week.
“It was so awkward how the episode made out like they’d never met before.
“I think it’s really important viewers know they’re being duped.”
Whilst fans are not charged to take part in voting for Love Island on ITV’s dedicated mobile phone app, it does host messaging and paid links in a Shop The Show section from the show’s sponsors eBay and Boots.
There is also space for ITV’s Love Island merchandise.
An ITV spokesperson declined to comment.
- Love Island continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
