Love Island shock as one islander is sensationally dumped from the villa before the show even airs in savage twist

One Love Island star has already been sensationally dumped from the villa, before the launch show has even aired.

The latest series of the reality dating show kicks off on Monday night with host Maya Jama set to introduce a new batch of Sєxy singletons looking for love.

However, for one girl, her time on the show is set to be brutally cut short as she’s sent packing shortly after her arrival in the first savage twist of the series. 

It is said that the girl was ‘absolutely gutted’ by her dismissal which came following the entrance of this year’s first bombshell. 

A source told The Sun: ‘This girl will be sorely missed as was already proving to be a big character. They were absolutely gutted to leave.’

They continued: ‘But the series has twists and turns at every stage and this isn’t the usual dumping viewers might expect after a bombshell arrives.

‘Executive producer Mike Spencer-Hayter has promised drama for the tenth anniversary and this format point will not disappoint.’

MailOnline have contacted Love Island representatives for comment. 

It comes as the first bombshell has been revealed as Antonia Laites, a 24-year-old pool party girl from Las Vegas.

Antonia, who was born in Connecticut but has also resided in Miami, is a sizzling brunette whose day-to-day is looking after the VIP cabanas at the lavish Fontainebleau Resort in Sin City, reports The Sun. 

The Yank has reportedly strutted in on the first day to stir the pot for the islanders on the very first day. 

When asked who she is looking for in the villa, the American beauty quipped: ‘Someone that can make me laugh – I’m super outgoing. And someone that’s quite active. Maybe one day we could start our own family together.’

Ahead of her villa debut she dubbed the dating scene in the states a ‘mess’ as people are there for a ‘good time, not a long time’.

And it is the British charm that has attracted Toni to the UK version of the show as she confessed that she is attracted to the accent. 

‘I’ve lived in three different states and I’m still single. It’s time to try something new! I have some British friends and they’re pretty charming. I think all Americans love a good accent. British men are just more polite, with better manners,’ she added

Love Island confirmed the full line-up of contestants joining the upcoming series last week. 

The ITV2 dating show returns on June 9 and there looks set to be the usual mix of love triangles, bedroom trysts and messy breakups as contestants make their way to the island.

This year’s crop of hopefuls include a Declan Rice body double, fire breather and Maura Higgins lookalike and Maya will once again be at the helm after joining the popular dating series in January 2023. 

This year, the show celebrates a decade on screens and promises to have ‘more twists and turns than ever before’ in honour of their 10-year anniversary.

The series, which has been streamed over two billion times on ITVX, has seen over 300 Islanders pᴀss through the villa doors over the years, including the likes of Olivia Attwood, Dani Dyer, Chris Hughes, and Molly-Mae Hague. 

Last week, a Love Island producer also revealed that this year’s contestants could come face to face with their ex-partners in the villa. 

Speaking to The Sun, ITV’s Mike Spencer-Hayter said: ‘Do you know what I always say, the cast get released and then the ex’s come forward.  And that’s how you get the bombshells. 

‘They will have to go through the process, but we have already a pool of really really good bombshells lined up. There’s some people in that mix that are really under the radar as well. 

‘The casting team have been working for quite a while now. Gone to lots of different events and been out and about looking for people and I think they’ve done a brilliant job. We always have those killer bombshells to come in.’

Love Island is set to air on June 9 over on ITV2 and ITVX.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone who is beautiful on the inside and out, looks after themselves and is healthy

CLAIM TO FAME? My dad being an ex-professional footballer. I’ve met all kinds of famous people through him. When I was younger it was weird because he was just my dad, but we’d go to a game and fans were asking for pH๏τos. I’ve met David Beckham, he was really nice.

WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? I think she’d hire me because I’m a good flirt. I always ask guys on a night out to guess which country I’m originally from. If they get it right, they can get my number. 

But they never guess correctly so it works really well if you don’t want to give a guy your number. I’m originally from Guinea Bissau. If they’re close and I really fancy them, I’ll give them my number anyway.

CLAIM TO FAME? Me and my friends made a Derry Girls TikTok for Halloween and it went a bit viral around Brighton. Sometimes I get stopped in the street about it. I’ve also done Panto.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? The girl next door that makes me laugh and can hold eye contact with me. I don’t think I’d go for the most obvious girl, I like a real sweet girl. 

CLAIM TO FAME? I’m the body double for Declan Rice. So when he does a shoot, any body close ups will actually be me. You’ll never see my face, but you’ll see my shoulder or chest, that kind of thing.

 

Conor Phillips

Conor Phillips

NAME: Conor Phillips

AGE: 23
