TWO new Love Island bombshells revealed their secret romance in tonight’s episode.
Konnor Ewudzi, AJ Bunker, and Samie Elishi all made their 2026 villa debut this evening and were instantly at the heart of the drama.
A link between Konnor and AJ quickly emerged as it comes out that they snogged in a club and swapped messages, prompting Millie Court to look gob-smacked.
AJ also knows single dad-of-one Jack Keating from nights out back home.
Konnor downplayed things, telling the boys: “It wasn’t anything deep deep, but she seems like a nice girl.”
Despite their connection, AJ and Konnor are pursuing new opportunities.
The latter was given the chance to steal a girl following tonight’s recoupling and he duly chose Millie Court, meaning her man Charlie Frederick became single, along with Ciaran Davies, who wasn’t picked by any of the girls.
The duo quickly got over their disappointment when it was revealed they had a double date in the Hideaway with AJ and Samie.
It didn’t take long for things to turn steamy with AJ kissing Ciaran after naming him the Islander she fancies most.
Meanwhile, Welsh lad Ciaran dared Charlie to have a three-way kiss with the two girls, which he needed no extra encouragement for.
We exclusively revealed which trio of past Islanders were entering as bombshells this evening.
A source told us: “As always, bombshell casting is tactical and these three are on a mission to shake up the villa with certain Islanders in mind.”
They continued: “All three deserve a proper crack at finding love after a tricky series before.”
Samie reached the final of the 2023 series and featured briefly on All Stars in 2025. Many fans felt she was underused last year and deserved another crack.
AJ Bunker rose to prominence in 2021 during the show’s seventh series.
She was an Islander on season 7 and entered the villa on Day 17 but was dumped from the island on Day 23.
AJ turned to boxing once she left Love Island and officially began her sporting career in 2022.
Konnor took part in thedating show in 2024 – but failed to find a meaningful connection.
After he nabbed Grace Jackson from Joey Essex, he found himself in a “friendship couple” with the model.
Things didn’t get much better for him during Casa Amor after he coupled up with Emma Milton and she went onto dump him as well.
Konnor’s luck looked like it was improving when bombshell Lolly Hart arrived in the villa.
The pair coupled up, but were dumped when they were voted one of the least compatible couples in a viewer vote.
