Love Island is back on Monday (January 16), and there's a brand new twist when it comes to the bombshells.
ITV confirmed on social media that viewers will be able to vote for the first bombshell to enter the villa, from a choice of two. Ellie and Tom were revealed to the audience via Twitter, as Love Island said: "Who will be the first Bombshell? YOU decide.
"Head to the app now to vote to send Ellie or Tom into the villa! Voting closes at 9pm on Friday 13th January #LoveIsland."

Ellie is a 25-year-old business development executive from Norwich, and she is hoping to be heading into the villa soon.
Ellie said: "If I was the first bombshell going in, I think the girls would definitely feel threatened.
"I'm going to shake the entire villa up, they are not going to know what's hit them."
Tom is a 23-year-old footballer from Barnsley who currently plays for top National League side Maccesfield FC.
He has been given permission by his football club to appear on the show, as the club said they "wish Tom every success, and look forward to welcoming him back to the club in due course."
When asked about entering the villa first, Tom said: "Obviously, if I'm the first bombshell to go into the villa, I'll be buzzing.
"If there's a girl I want and she is coupled up, then I will try my best to get that girl.
"Nine times out of ten I'll get her. Ten times out of ten."
Fans were excited to see the new twist to the bombshell entrances, as one Twitter user wrote: "SEND IN TOM!"
However, others weren't so impressed, as one said: "I mean at least we get to choose! But these “bombshells” aren’t bombshelling."
And another added: "I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we all wanted to be surprised and not pick?"
Love Island returns to ITV2 on Monday, January 16 at 9pm.
