LOVE Island beauty Samantha Kenny has teased that she's returning to the villa - despite being romantically linked to Pete Wicks.
The Sun revealed that Love Island's Samantha, 27, is dating ex Towie lothario Pete, 37, just weeks after his split from Maura Higgins.
Samantha has now hinted that she's making a villa comeback as she shared a clip of her at the airport and wrote: "Second time lucky?"
She was seen wheeling her suitcase across the terminal while a Love Island audio played in the background.
The narrator said: "This week a Love Island bombshell enters the villa."
Samantha's fans were quick to comment saying they want her back on the show after she was dumped from series 11 on Day 16.
One wrote: "I really hope this isn't a joke, you were my favourite."
A second said: "Don’t even, your departure wrecked my summer 24, we were SO robbed."
A third commented: "Girl you better be on my tv everyday for the next six weeks."
Although Samantha's been growing close to Pete in recent weeks, her post suggest they're not exclusive and she's open to dating others.
The Sun revealed that Samantha and Pete's met on the showbiz party circuit after the make-up artist shot to fame on last summer’s series of the ITV dating show, where she coupled up with Joey Essex.
Just days after it was revealed Pete’s best mate Sam Thompson was also seeing a former Islander — Samie Elishi, who was also at the bash and was spotted enjoying a steamy kiss after.
A source said: “Pete and Samantha have gone on a few dates and have really hit it off.
"She’s got a wicked sense of humour and is absolutely gorgeous.”
Samantha and Pete were spotted hugging outside Mayfair’s Amazonico club at the end of March, but had not been linked since.
She was dumped by Joey on Love Island when bombshell Grace Jackson entered the Majorca villa.
Pete’s break-up with Maura in February made waves after she accused him of cheating.
The source added: “Samantha is a fresh start for Pete.”
Samantha's time on Love Island ended in tears when Joey Essex dumped her for Grace Jackson.
Sam got her revenge when she was invited back to the villa alongside a group of dumped islanders to vote one couple out before the final.
She confronted Joey and told him: "You were lying to my face for two weeks.
"You saying to me we were one of the strongest couples in here and saying that you liked me as much as I liked you but then saying to Grace it was a friendship couple."
Joey tried to defend himself and said: "We were in a friendship couple," to which Samantha fired back: "We went on a date, we weren't in a friendship couple, I don't know why you're saying that."
While it was reported that Pete has “moved on and couldn’t care less” about ex Maura.
The pair were in a blossoming relationship and she even spoke about him in the I'm A Celebrity jungle before they dramatically split up two months later.
Maura then branded Pete a cheater, after it was revealed in February that they had called time on their romance.
Since then, Maura made headlines after The Sun spotted her kissing married McFly star Danny Jones at the BRITs.
Danny later released a statement on social media apologising to his family - while Maura's ex Pete took a swipe at her.
