Already this series, Love Island bosses have been accused on a number of occasions of making it the 'Gemma Owen' show, after giving the 19-year-old a lot of air time and even sending her ex-boyfriend Jacques O'Neill in as a bombshell.

But as Gemma continues to get to know love interest Luca Bish and keeping silent that Michael Owen is her dad, reports are suggesting another bombshell attached to Gemma could be about to enter.

Rumours are rife that Gemma's friend Billy Brown will make an appearance in the coming weeks on Love Island, with the single lad currently out in Ibiza on holiday.

A source told Mail Online: "Billy is a ladies man and he's definitely going to bring some fireworks into the villa.

"He knows what he wants and isn't shy about going after someone he fancies - whether they are in a couple or not."

Despite the reports, Billy is yet to be officially revealed as a bombshell by Love Island bosses.

It's not yet known if Billy will enter the main villa, or arrive during the dramatic Casa Amor feature of the show, but a brand new boy will be unveiled tonight (Wednesday 22nd June).

On the First Look, bosses reveal the girls will host a cocktail party, with Ekin-Su receiving a text which reads: 'Girls, it’s time to get glam as tonight you’ll be welcoming a new boy into the Villa.'

Will it be Billy?

Already this series, seven bombshells have entered the villa in an attempt to stir up drama, in the form of Afia Tonkmor, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Jacques O’Neill, Jay Younger, Remi Lambert, Danica Taylor and Antigoni Buxton.

Perhaps the most shocking to Gemma so far was her ex-boyfriend Jacques O'Neill, who is currently coupled up with Paramedic Paige Thorne.

Despite the awkwardness, both Gemma and Jacques have shown they are both still friends so far, with the pair being supportive with each other's new relationships.

Love Island continues every night at 9pm on ITV2.
