There are four new bombshells joining the Love Island 2026 line-up and they’re certainly going to stir up some drama.

As revealed by ITV, the bombshells invite four Islanders – Kavan Murphy, Simba Kudyiwa, Mica Harris and Yasmin Hadlow – to a sleepover in a different villa, which might put the Islanders they are coupled up with on edge.

“I don’t really see it as competition. I just think what’s meant for me will be for me,” new bombshell Tina Rad said. “Strategy-wise, I think I’m a really good flirt. I’m confident in myself.

“Even if a 10/10 model walks in, she’s not going to have my personality. Nobody has my personality, and that’s what makes me stand out.”

As she heads into the Love Island villa, read on for everything you need to know about new Islander Tina Rad.

Who is Tina Rad?

Tina Rad is a shot girl from Newcastle who is in the villa looking to find love – and she’s really excited at the thought.

“I’m not really a drama girl, so I’m not going in there to cause drama or make a massive deal out of things,” she said. “But if someone is disrespectful or nasty, I’m not just going to sit there and accept it. I’ll have a proper conversation with them because stuff like that really irritates me.”

Her strategy in the villa is to speak to all the boys, as there are a couple who she has her eye on, but personality is “a huge thing” for her.

She added: “I need to bounce off someone, vibe with them, and they need to be a bit weird because I’m a bit weird too.”
