Love Island is back in just a matter of days, but ahead of the 2023 start date, ITV bosses have announced a major twist. Viewers of the popular ITV1 dating show get to choose which bombshell they want to head into the villa first.
The announcement comes after Love Island confirmed the season 9 contestants, and while fans are eager to meet the line-up, it looks like a late arrival will be joining during the launch episode to shake things up. Who that late arrival is will be up to the public, with fans of the show able to choose between two bombshells.
The choice is between 25-year-old Ellie Spence, a Business Development Executive at a law firm from Norwich, or Tom Clare, a 23-year-old semi-pro footballer from Barnsley. Voting opened at 8am on Thursday, January 12 and is free via 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, January 13
