Two newcomers are likely to become the new kids on the block only days after Zara Lackenby-Brown and David Salako entered Winter Love Island as fiery bombshells.
However, these new islanders are more than meets the eye, as it turns out they’ve previously been on different editions of the reality show.
Following Lana Jenkins’ choice to spare Will Young from elimination in the recoupling ceremony, the show had some exciting news to deliver shortly after David became the first contestant to be ejected from the villa in South Africa.
Aaron Waters and Jessie Wynter, who previously appeared on different seasons of Love Island Australia, will make their debuts on Sunday night’s show.
Aaron, 25, a model and content developer from Melbourne, participated in the Australian edition of the show in its third series in 2021.
He revealed what he learnt from his previous time on the show, stating: ‘In terms of dating, I’ve learnt that it’s not always what meets the eye. Attraction is one thing, but making a connection and being able to build something with somebody is another.’
He added: ‘When I was in the Love Island Australia villa, I didn’t open myself up to other opportunities that I could’ve possibly had.
‘This time round I want to be testing the waters by being open-minded and giving everyone a chance. In terms of my experience in the previous villa, I went in there wanting to be myself and I can truly say I felt comfortable in myself in every way so I’d never change it.’
Jessie, on the other hand, is 26 years old and works as a personal trainer and social media influencer.

She was on Love Island Australia in series two in 2019, and claimed she’s been single ‘for quite some time’. She is from Tasmania and lives in Sydney.
‘I’d been on the show for quite some time before he got on, so I feel like the connection was slightly uneven in that regard – he knew a lot more about me than I knew about him,’ she revealed of her breakup from fellow Love Island Australia star Todd Elton.
‘When we got out of the villa I thought everything was great and fun, however I just don’t think we were both on the same page.’
Several fans expressed their delight at Aaron and Jessie’s addition to the UK show, with one writing on Twitter, ‘OMG now that’s what you call bombshells.’ I can’t wait to see Jessie and Aaron shake things up in the villa.’
‘Actually excited for these bombshells,’ someone else admited, as another remarked: ‘The two new bombshells coming on Sunday night are just on a different level.’
Love Island is set to return on Sunday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
