Sean Paul to enter the Love Island villa and OMG

What’s going on here then?

Sean Paul on Love Island

Updated on

After last night’s dramatic Love Island recoupling which saw Callum Jones return from Casa Amor with Molly Smith in tow, leaving Shaughna Phillips single, we thought this series couldn’t get any better.

But, after hearing about the show’s latest new arrival, it turns out we were wrong.

It’s not just any ordinary bombshell heading into the villa, it’s Grammy award-winning international superstar Sean Paul.

“I’m ready to bring the fire to the Love Island crew,” said Sean in a first-look clip released by ITV.

We’re sure Sean’s arrival will give the Islanders a much-need boost after the brutal recoupling, but sorry girls, you won’t actually be able to couple up with the multi-platinum performer.

Love Island’s Connor Durman: ‘Shaughna will walk from the villa’

Sean’s in South Africa to host a Spotify party in the villa, where he’ll perform hits from his impressive back catalogue, as well as new single Calling On Me.

We’ve never wanted to be a Love Island contestant more.

WATCH heat's Under the Duvet with VOXI and special guests Connor Durman and Connagh Howard

The Islanders certainly need an opportunity to let their hair down after a tense week which has truly tested, and in some cases, broken, their relationships.

One couple who seem to be going from strength to strength though are Connor Durman and Sophie Piper, who are both back in the UK after being dumped from the villa.

Connor appeared on the latest episode of heat’s Under the Duvet with VOXI alongside namesake Connagh Howard and he spilled the tea about his relationship with Sophie.

It seems Connor’s an old romantic at heart, as he told us he’s hoping to take Sophie out for Valentine’s Day.

“I’ve got a few plans,” he coyly teased. “I’ve got to see if she’s free but I definitely want to do something.”

We’d clear that diary ASAP if we were you, Sophie.
