Viewers were surprised during last night's episode of Love Island as 'bombshell' Norwich contestant Ellie Spence finally entered the villa.

Ellie, a business development executive for a law firm and former Wymondham College sixth-form student, is the latest bombshell on the ITV show.

She entered alongside Spencer Wilks, 24, as the boys were set to recouple last night (January 25).

A text message revealed that the bombshells would get the opportunity to pick which islander they wanted before the boys could continue with the recoupling ceremony.

Ellie, 25, was previously up against footballer Tom Clare, 23, from Barnsley, to enter the villa via public vote as the first bombshell late entrant.

The former Hobart High School pupil did not win that vote but has entered eight days later.

 Ellie, who said she brings "drama and unpredictability", said: "I’m single because I fall in love really quick, but I fall out of it just as quickly.

"When I was drunk I climbed over the gates of my friend’s house, fell and almost lost my leg. I was in hospital for two weeks but they stitched me back up.

"It left me with a big scar on my leg but I’m so blase about it, if I’m in a bikini you can’t not see it."

 

Their arrival came in the same episode that Haris Namani and Anna-May Robey exited the villa in a dramatic double dumping.

TV and radio presenter Maya Jama, 28, is hosting for the first time as the winter series makes a post-pandemic return.

Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITVX.
