He's sure to turn some heads 👀

It's fair to say that viewers have not been disappointed in this summer's series of Love Island so far, with the drama heating up pretty much from the moment the new islanders entered the villa. Well, it looks like things are about to get even more interesting, with the addition of three new bombshells - including Newcastle United player Elliot Anderson's brother, Wil!

That's right, alongside bombshells Tiff and Grace (who just so happens to be Joey Essex's ex-girlfriend), Wil Anderson entered the famous villa on Thursday night's (13th June) episode. Wil Anderson is the brother of Newcastle United midfielder Elliot - and the resemblance is uncanny!

Wil, who is 23-years-old from Whitley Bay, is heading into the villa hoping to 'feel that love again', following two 'serious' relationships from the age of 18. The quantity surveyor reckons: 'I’ll bring a cheerful, cheeky, excitable vibe to the Villa. I think I’ll get on with all the lads as well as hopefully making some good connections with the girls.'

When asked how his family and friends would describe him, including his NUFC brother, Wil replied: 'Fun, loves a party, strong, loyal, respectful and honest.'

Standing at 6ft 4", Wil is hoping his height will help him turn a few heads, saying: 'I’m 6’4 which usually goes down well with the girls.' Speaking about what makes him a catch, he also added: 'I’d also say my smile and personality.'

No doubt his brother Elliot will be cheering him on from back home!

But Wil wasn't the only bombshell to enter the villa on Thursday night's episode, with newbies Tiffany Leighton, 25, and Grace Jackson, 25, also entering. Tiff is HR Coordinator from Hertfordshire, whilst Grace is the Co-Owner of Social Media Marketing Agency in Manchester - oh, and also Joey Essex's ex!

Grace's entrance to the villa follows rumours that Joey's ex, Sabreena, would be making her way over to Mallorca, following some teases on social media.

On top of the shock evictions that took place this week, which saw us wave goodbye to Patsy Field and Munveer Jabbal, the new additions are sure to cause a stir in the coming days, and we can't wait to see the drama unfold.
