It’s the time that Love Island fans have been patiently waiting for – Casa Amor.

And whilst the drama has been steadily trickling into pretty much every episode of this season, things are only set to reach fever pitch as the new batch of islanders descend.

The controversial second villa couldn’t come at a more contentious time, as all eyes continue to be on Lorenzo and Jasmine – who were initially coupled up. They decided to become friends instead and went off to pursue other connections.

Well now, the pair only continue to be in each other’s orbit, and as last night’s recoupling proved, things remain rocky for the pair – and for Kavan and Yasmin, who find themselves in the beloved love square.

As for the new faces set to join the antics, we got a quick peek at them at the end of last night’s (Friday 25 June) episode, but we’re set to meet them properly in Sunday night’s instalment.

They include content creator Charleen (27) from Dublin, nursery manager Mara (25) from Luton, personal shopper Martha (25) from London, marketing coordinator Olivia (23) from Doncaster, student nurse Nevaeh (22) from Gloucester and insurance broker Julia (26) from London.

Understandably, there are some Casa Amor islanders who are keeping their cards close to their chests. But for the most part, they have their eyes on plenty of the OG islanders.

As for what we can expect when they land, Mara has already teased about entering Casa Amor: “I feel good about it. I’ve always kind of wanted to be a Casa babe. A bombshell is good, but a Casa Amor babe? That is iconic. I feel good. Obviously a bit nervous but I’m excited because it’s a bit of drama. My friends say I’m dramatic. I also love seeing whether someone’s going to be like, “No, I want her instead.” That’s everything. Choose me. Always me!”

When asked who she has her eye on, Martha revealed: “I need to meet someone in real life first to see what the vibes are. I kind of fancy them all! I think Lorenzo’s so handsome, and he’s tall. Fitzy’s handsome too, and it’s nice that he’s a primary school teacher. I quite like the brothers, but I can’t decide between Kavan and Aidan. I like Aidan’s tattoos, but Kavan seems more mature.”

With her eyes on Fitzy, could this be the thing that rocks his solid relationship with Lola? Perhaps.

As for model Will, when asked to describe his Casa Amor energy, he said: “I think I’m just going to go in there and try and get into the groove straight away and be unapologetically me. At the same time, I’m aware that I’m coming in for Casa so I quite enjoy the thought of causing some chaos.”

So, we can certainly expect some drama.

Last night’s recoupling saw Lorenzo choose to stay with Yasmin (despite many glances over at Jasmine in the process) and Kavan choosing Jasmine, even though they’re going through a major blip in their relationship.

Aidan was also left to couple up with Priya while the other pairings include Ellie and Finley, Angelista and Simba, Mica and Samraj, and Lola and Sean. With some relationships a lot more rockier than others, will Casa Amor be a much-needed test or see heads being completely turned?
