Love Island reveal first TWO bombshells as fans get chance to vote
Viewers decide who goes into the villa!
Last updated 12th Jan 2023
We are now just DAYS away until the brand new Winter series of Love Island hits our screens, with new host Maya Jama! After bosses gave viewers the first glimpse of the stunning villa, and also revealed the first 10 Islanders, they've now delighted us with some cheeky bombshells!
For the first time in Love Island history, viewers will be given the chance to vote for which bombshell they'd like to enter the villa first, either Ellie Spence or Tom Clare.
Sharing a video tease, bosses wrote on social: 'Who will be the first bombshell? YOU decide 😯 Head to the app now to vote to send Ellie or Tom into the villa! Vote closes at 9pm on Friday 13th January #LoveIsland'. (sic)
How do I vote?
Free voting opened at 8am on Thursday 12th January on the Love Island App. The bombshell with the highest number of votes will be chosen to enter the villa, votes close at 9pm on Friday 13th January.
In order to help you decide, check out Ellie and Tom's profiles below.
Who is Ellie Spence?
Ellie is a 25-year-old Business Development Executive from Norwich.
Speaking about why she's signed up for the show, Ellie said: "I’ve been single for three years and the roster is pretty dry, it’s been dry for the last year, I don’t know what happened, it’s just not been a great time for me so I’m ready to find my husband."
Admitting how her family describe her, Ellie added: "Super caring and kind but also a little bit of a liability, but in a fun way. You know when you have the mums of the group when you go out? I’m the one swinging on the chandelier refusing to go home. I’m definitely a good time girl."
Although she's admitted she falls in and out of love very quickly, Ellie revealed her ick is: "Overconfident guys and men that think they can get any girl when they think they are so fit and a 10/10 when in actual fact they are none of the above. I like confidence but not arrogance."

Who is Tom Clare?
Tom is a 23-year-old Semi-Pro Footballer from Barnsley who plays for Macclesfield FC.
Speaking about why he applied for the show, Tom said: "I want to meet someone. It’s good going out and having a laugh but I miss sharing stuff. Life’s too short. These opportunities don’t come around often."
Admitting why he thinks he's single, Tom added: "Since my ex-girlfriend, no-one’s really come to me and I’ve thought, ‘Wow’. Until I have that, I’m not really going to settle for less. Not in a bad way, but the next person I get with, I want to marry."
It sounds like Tom isn't a fan of stuck up people, adding: "When someone’s stuck up. They can be a 10/10 but if they’re stuck up… another one for me is bad oral hygiene and a random one is ‘birthday make-up’ - you know when make-up is done professionally for an event and it’s just too much, like blue eyeshadow and stuff? Girls don’t need that."
When asked how his friends and family describe him, Tom told bosses: "Friends and family would describe me differently. Obviously my mum thinks I’m the most amazing person in the world. She thinks I’m the best thing ever, bless her. My family know how loyal and genuine I am. I’d just do anything for anyone and I always treat someone how they treat me.
"I judge people on how they are with me. My friends would think I’m a good laugh, a top guy to be around, probably take all the girls off them…"
