Love Island producers really are insisting that bombshells enter that villa and do what they're actually supposed to do this year: BOMBSHELL. None of this playing it safe and treading carefully – this year's cohort are opting for full-on explosions and as such, we're getting one of the best Love Island series ever to grace our summer screens.

One of the latest bombshells set to enter the Love Island 2025 villa tonight (Monday 23 June) is Giorgio Russo (the kind of name we'd happily get tattooed on to us, btw) and he's promised to enter the villa and cause a serious stir, telling producers, 'I’m going to try and stop all the "closed off" chat when I’m in there, you’re either together or you’re not.'

Seriously, otherwise come Casa Amor week things are going to be boring AF.

We don't know a huge amount about this new boy as of yet, but we have learned that he does have a very famous sister.

As it turns out, he is the brother of professional footballer Alessia Russo. If you're not up on your footie, don't worry, we've done your Googling for you. Alessia plays as a forward for Women's Super League club Arsenal and England. She is also the current holder of FWA Women's Footballer of the Year. Slay.

Before entering the villa, 'family-oriented' Giorgio discussed his green flags, telling Love Island bosses, 'My sister plays pro football, so being interested in sport, they don’t have to know football or understand it, but if they can show some sort of interest because it is such a prominent thing in our family. It would be hard if they hated it. Other green flags are having a nice family, I’m sick of being the 7th wheel in my own family.'
