Speculation is mounting about potential bombshells expected to shake up Love Island’s Casa Amor, with a well-known influencer and an ex-partner of one of the current contestants being rumoured.
The drama has been relentless throughout ITV’s dating reality series in its 13th season. Love triangles and surprise arrivals have dominated the past few weeks since the series launched earlier this month.
So far, there’s only been one public vote, with viewers choosing their favourite boy and girl. Recent episodes left those with the lowest votes at risk.
In the end, Lorenzo and Ellie, who topped the vote, decided to send Tommy and Tina packing. Yet fans are already anticipating one of the programme’s signature moments that genuinely tests the couples.
Bombshells thus far have already brought new Islanders with surprising links to existing stars. Now reports suggest that an ex-partner of one contestant could be poised to appear for Casa Amor, reports OK!

Casa Amor traditionally occurs at the midpoint of the season, which is rapidly approaching. It generally sees the couples split, with some relocated to a different villa.
Meanwhile, their partners stay in the main villa. Two groups of up to six new islanders then enter both Casa Amor and the main villa.
According to Goss.ie, one of the fresh faces set to arrive at Casa will be Irish influencer Charleen Murphy. Despite sharing the same surname as brothers Aidan and Kavan, as well as recently departed Tommy, she has no family connection to them whatsoever.
Charleen is an Irish influencer who frequently shares content on the latest beauty products and trends. She boasts more than 400,000 followers on Instagram and has apparently parted ways with her boyfriend quite recently.
Goss claims that a source told them: “Charleen flew over to Palma to meet with Love Island producers today. There’s been so much buzz around her going on the show, but now it looks like it’s finally about to happen.”
Fans are increasingly questioning her posts about whether the rumours linking her to a Love Island appearance are true. She has yet to publicly address any of the speculation.

The same outlet also linked an Irish radio presenter, who happens to be Sean Fitzgerald’s ex-girlfriend, to a potential appearance in Casa. They suggest the odds have shortened on Helen Galgey making a surprise entrance.
She has acknowledged that she will be “watching (the show) like a hawk” but has no intention of routinely commenting on events that unfold on screen.
Last week, she shared updates on her Instagram stories about attempting to board a flight. She was turned away at the gate due to a damaged passport and sought assistance in obtaining an emergency replacement.
The stories have since been saved to her page under the title ‘Airport reject’. The final reel is captioned “What’s meant for you won’t pass you by”, while underneath reads “What passed me by” accompanied by current Love Island star Lorenzo Alessi.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
