Casa Amor is back for Love Island 2023 and the dramatic twist is set to be even more explosive following the surprise return of original Islander Molly Marsh. She'll be joined by five new girls all hoping to win over the hearts of a boy and remain in the famous villa long after the challenge has ended.
The new girls are Tink Reading, Danielle Mazhindu, Amber Wise, who is the daughter of former England footballer Dennis Wise, Gabby Jeffery, and Abi Moores. Meanwhile, the boys include footballer Ouzy See, who already knows Ella Thomas, Kodie Murphy, Lochan Nowacki, Zachary Ashford, Elom Ahlijah-Wilson, and Benjamin Noel.
The bombshells will now get to know the original Islanders in two separate villas, with the boys remaining with the new girls in the main villa and the original girls staying over at Casa Amor, where they'll be joined by the new boys.

Casa Amor 2023 boys
Kodie Murphy, 20,
Kodie is a social media marketer from Birmingham who is keen to couple up with Jess.
He said: "Jess is my weak point as I do love a blonde. Leah is a very pretty girl but Jess’ personality is stand out for me. She can give good banter!"
Ouzy See, 28
Ouzy is a footballer, tradesman and model from Edinburgh, he likes Ella and already knows the Islander on the outside.
He said: "If I was in there from the start it would have been Ella. I’ve met Ella before on a photoshoot we were both working on and also on nights out in Edinburgh, although nothing has ever happened between us."
Lochan Nowacki, 25
Lochan is an account manager from Windsor who says his "top" girl to couple up with is Kady. He said: "My top is definitely Kady. She seems like a very grounded person, and has that mature side to her but you know she can have a lot of fun. I like her maturity compared to some of the other girls. She’s very much taking her time to build on relationships and speak to people. And she’s obviously gorgeous!
"Ella would have been someone from the start - she’s someone I would go for in the outside world, but I can also see her and Ty are pretty locked off. If both in a relationship were to say ‘we’re locked off’ I fully respect that. As it stands right now that would be more of a friendship vibe.
"Catherine is up there a lot for me as well. She’s brainy, she’s smart, she’s obviously very good looking and she just seems very easy going, someone I’d have a lot of fun with. I think her and Scott are cool but they haven’t had any tests.
"My third would definitely be Leah. It’s that maturity again. Those three are the most mature and grounded which I find really attractive."
Zachary Ashford, 27
Zachary is a senior sales executive from Manchester and also wants to couple up with Jess.
He said: "At the minute my main one would be Jess, I get a lot of good vibes from her. I think she comes from a good family, she’s confident and has a lot of banter, I think we would get along really well. I feel like I’m her type, so could be a good match.
He added: "Leah, a fellow Northerner. She’s a beautiful looking girl - the eye contact thing that I see her do is appealing and I want to see that in real life. She seems very sweet - I like that.
"There are a couple of others, but they might be out of the question. Catherine surprised me, there is something definitely about her. Kady is a natural type for me, probably someone I would normally go for and a similar age to myself."
Elom Ahlijah-Wilson, 22
Elom is a masseuse and fitness trainer from London. On who he wants to couple up with, Elon said: "All the girls are all beautiful. I want to see their energy levels. If I speak to them and like their vibe, I’d want to couple up with them. Whitney has good energy, so does Leah and Ella. I’m just going to go there and try to talk with all of the girls."
Benjamin Noel, 26
Benjamin is a fitness business owner from London. He said: "I’m most intrigued by Leah and I don’t think she’s met her match yet, the traits she has are what I look for in a girl.
"I also like Kady, she’s really attractive so I want to figure out if we match in terms of our personalities. Whitney is another girl I’m drawn to, she’s a really cool girl."
Casa Amor 2023 girls
Tink Reading, 26
Tink is a project manager from Birmingham. She is interested in both Mitchel and Scott. She explained: "The first one would be Mitchel, I like how he has his friends' backs in there but he also isn’t afraid to say his opinion to his friends if he doesn't agree with them. I also have that quality, I won't just agree with my friends because they’re my friends. Obviously he is really good looking as well and my type on paper.
"I also like Scott, he seems really genuine. He hasn’t messed about in there - he knows what he likes and he’s stuck with it. He hasn’t done the whole, ‘I’m going to play games’, he just seems genuine in what he says."
Amber Wise, 19
Amber is a graphic design student from Buckinghamshire. She is keen to get to know Montel and Sammy, she's also interested in Tyrique.
She explained: "Tyrique, he’s a carbon copy of the boys I have previously dated. He’s obviously a semi-professional footballer and football is a big part of my family. I am very family oriented so I would want them to fit into my family."
Gabby Jeffery, 24
Gabby is a creative assistant from Newcastle, her top three are Zach, Scott and Mitch, she explained: "They are all really handsome but I like all of their individual personalities."
Abi Moores, 25
Abi is a flight attendant from Hampshire and wants to get to know Scott, Mitch and Sammy.
She said: "Scott, he’s so good looking! He’s my type to an absolute T; dark hair, gorgeous body. Mitch, I fancied him from day one, the second he walked in. I like his northern accent. I was born in Manchester, so we have a little connection. I think he’s so good looking and he’s got an amazing body.
"Sammy, he’s really good energy and a cheeky chappy. I love his little grin."
Danielle Mazhindu, 25
Danielle is a recruitment assistant and occupational therapy student from Liverpool. On who she wants to couple up with she said: "It would be Zach because he’s the most my type - good looking, tall, chilled and laid back. Montel gives a similar vibe to Zach, so he is also someone I have my eye on.
"Scott as well, his eyes are amazing. He’s so sweet and seems very cute."
Molly Marsh, 21
Returning Islander Molly Marsh is a musical theatre performer and social media creator. Prior to her dumping, she was getting closer to Zach but anything can happen in Casa Amor.
