Just as we thought Love Island 2022 was winding down in the lead-up to the final, four fiery bombshells have entered the villa—with the two new girls on Love Island looking to turn both Adam Collard and Davide Sanclimenti’s heads.
Misery loves company and this foursome is coming to cause as much as possible to our established Love Island couples—potentially affecting who will win Love Island UK 2022.
Jamie Allen, Reece Ford, Nathalia Campos and Lacey Edwards have already hit the ground running and from the looks of it, they're only just getting started.
So far Nathalia has turned the charm on for Adam, who says he's open to getting to know her, while Lacey has locked lips with Deji. Jamie on the other hand has been grafting Danica but so far Reece has been unable to turn his first choice, Ekin-Su's head...
So before the drama teased in First Look really starts popping off—allow us to fill you in on our four bombshells, all of who have very interesting careers (especially Jamie who will be facing some tough questions from his bosses when he returns…).
Let's dive right in!
Who is Love Island's Jamie Allen?
Jamie Allen is a 27-year-old football player from Preston, who has Caribbean heritage. After starting his football career with Fleetwood Town in 2012, he's now taken a step up and signed an exciting deal with a new club.
Who does Jamie from Love Island play for?
Jamie has just recently signed a deal with FC Halifax Town, though it seems his club isn’t all that pleased about his Love Island debut.
In a statement to ITV (opens in new tab), they said: “Jamie Allen has decided to join the cast of Love Island 2022, making his intentions clear that the opportunity is very important to him. The matter will be reviewed on his return.” Oh, dear…
Despite the slight drama involving his team, Jamie is clearly very keen for a summer of love, after whisking Danica off on a date and even kissing her!
Who is Love Island's Nathalia Campos?
Nathalia is a self-proclaimed avocado lover and one of the two new girls on Love Island. She’s 23 and from Brazil but is currently living in London and working as an operations manager and content creator.
The Brazillian beauty aims to turn heads, naming Davide and Adam as the boys she’s most interested in. From the looks of it, she’s already making her move as upon her arrival, as she got a tour from Davide, who even took her up to the terrace, where Nathalia asked if she should crawl—a throwback to Ekin-Su’s steamy terrace rendezvous with Jay.
She's also taken Adam on a date and expressed interest in continuing to get to know him.
She says her friends describe her as ‘caring, kind, funny and sassy’, adding that she has high standards and is looking for someone to treat her the way she deserves to be treated. You do you gal!
But Ekin-Su and Paige better be on high alert…
How tall is Nathalia on Love Island?
During a chat with Adam on the infamous beanbags, Nathalia revealed that men are often intimidated by her height—so she tends to go for guys who are taller than her (not exactly good news for Paige as Adam is the tallest islander). So, in case you were wondering—she's 5'11.
Who is Love Island's Lacey Edwards?
Lacey is the second new girl joining the villa and has a lot in common with Danica and Tasha—as she too is a dancer!
She’s 25 and is a professional showgirl from Swindon. She trained professionally at Wilkes Academy and now works at The Royal Palace Kirrwiller.
She, like Nathalia, has her eye on Adam and Davide but also Fish Flop fan, Luca—and while they’re all pretty happy in their couples, Lacey says she is not afraid to step on toes—though since entering the villa, she's struck up a connection with Deji, so our other couples might be safe.
Lacey told ITV: “I am bringing all my confidence, all my chat and I might do the splits occasionally to get some attention.” To be honest, if we could do the splits, we would too.
Who is Love Island's Reece Ford?
New boy Reece vows to bring his ‘good looks’ and equally ‘good chat’ to the villa. Reece, like a few of our other islanders, is a model from Coventry. He has quite an impressive resume, having modeled for brands like Levi and JD Sports.
He’s 23 and like Jamie actually has a football link—according to the Metro (opens in new tab), he acts as Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappé’s body double in a fair few modeling campaigns. He’s even got a few Insta snaps with him!
Reece says he’s got his eye on Gemma, Ekin-Su and Tasha, but so far the girls have all stayed loyal to their OG boys.
Though there's still plenty of time for drama, so make sure you tune and watch Love Island UK from wherever you are!
