Love Island viewers shocked to learn bombshell AJ Bunker's REAL AGE

She arrived in the villa during last night's show

Author: Alex RossPublished 15th Jul 2021

With all of the drama surrounding Brad McClelland and Lucinda Strafford, and Chloe Burrows and Toby Aromolaran during last night's Love Island, it was a lovely little breather when new bombshell AJ Bunker arrived at the end.

AJ, real name Andrea-Jane, entered when the boys were crowned the champions in the latest task, and her entrance certainly rattled the girls who were watching their men with eagle-eyes from the terrace.

As she strutted into the villa in a stunning LBD, AJ said: "eyes on the prize boys", much to the annoyance of the girls, but now we've found out more about her, viewers are shocked to learn her real age.

How old is AJ Bunker on Love Island?

Much to the surprise of viewers, AJ is actually 28-years-old!

After discovering her age, fans of the show were quick to take to Twitter, urging bosses to put some older boys in. One wrote: 'If they're putting women in the villa who are 28/29 then they need to be putting MEN in there as well to match their age.' (sic)

Another added: 'The casting directors completely missed the mark this year, 28 year olds going into a villa of immature young boys, the math isn't mathing.' (sic)

A third then wrote: 'All the 21-26 year old BOYS can do absolutely nothing for these grown women.' (sic)

Despite Faye Winter looking SO casual about AJ's entrance, it sounds like she could have something to worry about, as the hair extension technician has confessed that she has her eye on Teddy Soares.

She said: "There is something about Teddy. He’s a bit of me. In terms of being adventurous and spontaneous, I think we’d get on really well.

"I’m a respectful person in terms of morals. I’ll definitely approach her and have a conversation beforehand. But I wouldn’t hold back. I feel like we all have a right to get to know the guys in there. I’ll definitely have a word with her first and would keep her updated on where everything is at really. I’m open and honest and I think that’s all you can really do."

It also sounds like AJ thinks she could have some beef with Faye, saying: "I think Lib and Kaz are my type of girls. I’m very energetic and love having a good time. I feel like I’d really gel with those girls. It’s funny that Faye and Teddy are paired up because I think me and Faye are the ones who wouldn’t get on the most."

We can't wait to witness the drama! 👀

Now check out all of the Love Island stars you forgot about:

Jon Clark

WE KNOW. Jon from TOWIE was first on Love Island back in 2015. Yup. The first series of the 'normal' Love Island because FYI there was a Celebrity Love Island back in the day.

Harley Brash

Harley stepped into the Love Island villa as a bombshell alongside India Reynolds. During her time on the show she dated Chris Taylor and things appeared to work outside the villa... until a few weeks later. They became the first Love Island 2019 couple to split.

Carl Woods

Okay another Islander who you know about but most probably forgot were on Love Island is Katie Price's fiancé Carl. He went on Love Island as a bombshell back in 2016 but only lasted one episode during a speed dating task.

Alex Miller

Another forgotten soul - Alex. He was a Casa Amor beau from the 2018 series and he coupled up with Megan Barton Hanson. Poor Wes Nelson was left DEVO when he returned alone and saw Megan with a new man... Shortly after Wes won Megan back, Alex was dumped from the villa and that's about it.

Tyla Carr

Despite hysterically crying when Jonny Mitchell was dumped from the island, Tyla didn't leave - remember Theo Campbell being an absolute savage and telling her to leave if she'll miss him that much? LOL. Other than that we've practically forgotten about her existence.

Alex Beattie

Another Islander from the 2017 series that we've forgotten about is Alex. Remember him? He was coupled up with Montana, he confessed his love for her shortly before the final but then they split a few weeks later.

Chloe Crowhurst

Chloe was pretty iconic during the 2017 series. She kept stirring the pot and telling everyone's secrets but it was hilarious to watch. Following her time on Love Island though, she's not really done that much. Bless her.

Craig Lawson

Oh Craig. Bless him. He seemed to have a good heart and was totally into Camilla Thurlow - remember he compared them to Professor Green and Millie Mackintosh even though they'd split? Unfortunately Camilla lost interest in him, he was booted from the villa and we've only just remembered him.

Kendall Rae Knight

Kendall wasn't in the villa long. In fact, she was the first to be booted from the show during the 2018 series thanks to her failed romance with Adam Collard. She's basically Amber Davies' twin so we'll probably actually never truly forget her. She was also friends (she went on an influencer trip) with Molly-Mae Hague, so that counts for something, ey?

Ellie Jones

Ellie - aka Jack Fincham's ex girlfriend – entering the villa was one of the most complained about Ofcom moments in 2018 (and the Roxanne Pallet CBB drama happened in the same year). Ellie entered the villa, Dani Dyer was in floods of tears and shortly after returning to the main villa, Ellie was booted from the show.

Callum Macleod

Another Islander who was the first to be booted from the show was Callum. He was coupled up with Amber, she threw shade at him and his sunglasses and then he was dumped from the island.

Sherif

Things looked promising for Sherif and Anna Vakili but things came to an end when he was booted from the show for breaking the rules in the villa.

Ollie Williams

Just three days into Love Island 2020 and Ollie quit the show because he was still in love with his ex-girlfriend. It appeared to be a rogue but honest decision so fair play to him - haven't seen or heard of him since though.

Connor Durman

Connor. Need we say more? Probably, because he's on this list, but Connor was coupled up with Sophie Piper and they had a fair few issues in the villa... After she was dumped from the villa they appeared to reunite but have since split.

Shannon Singh

Poor Shannon made a Love Island record on the 2021 series, being dumped from the villa after just 48 HOURS! It's safe to say she's not the most memorable moment from series seven!

Liam Llewellyn

He entered on Day One during the 2022 series, but Welsh lad Liam Llewellyn decided to quit the show after only a few days.

Lolly Hart

Flight attendant Lolly Hart entered the villa on Day 39 during the 2024 Summer series, and was dumped just days later on Day 44. It's safe to say she didn't have a huge impact on the series.

Love Island continues every night at 9pm on ITV2.
