After ITV confirmed that the Casa Amor villa would be returning to Love Island earlier today, the 12 hot singletons who will enter the villa have now been REVEALED, and they certainly don't disappoint!

It's been rumoured for weeks, but now ITV have confirmed six boys, including footballer Denton Lewis and builder Dan Rose, and six girls, including model Joanna Chimonides and actress Jourdan Riane.

The announcement comes after weeks of rumours about Casa Amor. Despite reports suggesting earlier this year that villa would be scrapped for the 2019 series, ITV bosses confirmed its return on Thursday 27th June.

Taking to the official ITV2 Twitter accounts, bosses wrote, 'YAASSSSS! It’s coming… #CasaAmor #LoveIsland @LoveIsland', accompanied by a neon logo with the words 'Casa Amor'.

Of course, bosses will be hoping the 12 new Islanders bring some serious drama, just like past series.

If rumours are anything to go by, hunky builder Dan Rose already has his sights set on Amy Hart, and it sounds like he isn't afraid to steal her from Curtis Pritchard.

A source told The Mirror, "Dan is ruthless and will shake things up massively. His usual type is blonde and slim and Amy fits the bill perfectly. His arrival is going to cause major destruction in the villa - especially with Curtis.

"Who knows if Amy's head will be turned."
