Iconic Love Island bombshell teases return to the villa

Over the years we've seen a few Love Island stars return to the villa and it looks like a bombshell from the 2018 series could be heading back.

Now you might not remember Idris Virgo's time on the show in 2018, because he was sadly dumped from the villa after only four days, however you'll most likely know him from his comments on Instagram.

If you follow the Love Island Instagram account you would have definitely spotted Idris commenting and it seems that all those messages may have finally paid off as he could be on the new series.

Idris recently commented on one of Love Island's Instagram posts, which asked the question, "Tell us, who do you think is the OG dating show and why is it Love Island?"

The Love Island account then wrote in the comments, "@idrisvirgo where are you when we need you?!"

To which Idris responded, "I was trying to sneak back into the villa."

He then added, "Aftersun here I come", suggesting he may make an appearance on Love Island's spin-off ITV2 show.

Whilst it seems Idris was joking about sneaking into the villa, we reckon he could definitely make an appearance on Aftersun and we would 100% be here for it.

Idris wouldn't be the first Islander to return to the show as Sam Gowland and Malin Andersson both returned to the villa after being dumped from the Island in their respective series.

This would be the first time a former Islander returned to a different series though. In light of this recent news, here's everything else you need to know about Idris.

After leaving Love Island, Idris continued to pursue boxing and he's doing well for himself.

He went on to open up about his career, "I had an incident when I was a kid, I was hit in the head with a wooden stick - that's when I thought I need to learn a bit of self defence.

"I think boxing was my destiny, in the back of my mind as well I've always liked entertainment. I like performing in front of a crowd."
