Love Island producers shook up the villa earlier this week when they whisked the OG boys off to Casa Amor to spend a few days with six brand new bombshell girls, while six bombshell boys entered the main villa to keep the OG girls company.
Things have already been messy AF, with Harrison Solomon kissing new girl Lauren Wood while Yasmin Pettet locked lips with Jamie Rhodes just hours after he stepped foot in the villa and we have a feeling this could be the wildest Casa yet.
Another of the bombshell boys who’s starting to make his mark is Cach Mirjah Mercer after he got to know Helena Ford on the terrace and if you thought he looked familiar then it might be because you’ve seen him on TV before…
That’s right, Love Island isn’t the first dating show Cach has appeared on. In fact, it’s not even the first reality show he’s appeared on.
Back in 2022, Cach appeared on the first ever series of MTV’s Are You The One? UK. At the time, Cach was 20 years old and revealed that he had a penchant for older women.
He described himself as an ‘old soul’ and said he’d been in two long-term relationships.
