The Love Island has been thrown into chaos for the second time this series after a bombshell expected to enter the villa pulled out at the last minute.
Male model Zach Hartman was due to fly out to the villa this week as the show enters into its second week of filming and things begin to heat up.
However, the hunk decided to quit in a bid to protect his career, which has seen him model for top designers such as Jack Wills, Ralph Lauren and ASOS.

ITV bosses are now scrambling to find a last minute replacement.
The Sun reported that Zach told pals: "I was meant to be going on Love Island this year and flying out this week.
"After long conversations with my family and thinking about what I wanted out of my career, I decided against it."
However, he added: "Would've been an easy year to win, seeing as none of the guys have any game on there.
"But I've got to do what's best for me."
A source told the Sun: "Zach is really good-looking and is a real charmer when it comes to the ladies.
"But he has a heart too. He used to carry a bit of extra weight when he was younger, but he hit the gym and trimmed down after cleaning up his diet."
The news comes after fan favourite Liam Llewellyn decided to leave the villa last week.
The masters student - who has been studying Strength and Conditioning – shocked his fellow Islanders after he called them all around the firepit to break the news.
Explaining his decision, he said he hadn't quite gelled with anyone after splitting from Gemma Owen , and when neither bombshells, Ekin-Su or Afia, seemed to take a shine to him, he chose to leave.
He said to his fellow Islanders: "Obviously, we all came here for the same reason, but I haven't been giving 100 per cent Liam. I know what 100 per cent Liam is, and I'm miles off that.
"Trying to find someone you leave the villa with that you love, that's the goal. But when you're not feeling that, it makes it a very hard sort of time to find that. I've been thinking long and hard. It isn't spur of the moment, so I've made a decision I'm going to leave the villa.
He then made a sweet gesture to his fellow Islanders as he told them how much he would miss them.
"You are all unreal. I've had an absolute ball," he added, leaving most of them in tears after quitting the show just days in.
Luca was emotional as he admitted he would miss Liam, and in a poignant moment, they all headed to the bedroom to say their goodbyes.
