We've got less than two weeks until the Love Island 2022 final but that's not stopped ITV bosses from chucking in four new Islanders including Reece Ford.

During his first full day in the villa he picked Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu for a date and she very quickly friendzoned him because she's fully into Davide Sanclimenti.

However it turns out that Love Island fans think he had a secret agenda when he picked Ekin-Su for a date.

"Reece knew no one was interested in him so decided to cause chaos and I respect it #loveisland," wrote one fan.

Another viewer said, "24hrs Nahh Reece, we want nothing but violence!!!! #LoveIsland"

One more added, "Reece choosing Ekin for the date #LoveIsland"

While we hope that the new bombshells cause a lot of drama in the villa, here's everything you need to know about Reece.

How old is Reece Ford?

Reece is 23 years old.

What does Reece do?

Reece is pretty fit and it turns out he's a model from Coventry.

Why did Reece decide to go on Love Island?

Bombshell Reece entered the Love Island villa on Wednesday night and quickly made it clear that he'll be a threat to the boys.

“I definitely think the boys are going to be worried about me, I am tall, dark and handsome, what more does a girl want," he said.

He then went on to reveal why he decided to join the villa, "I am mature enough now. I was a bit of a ‘Jack the lad’ and a player but now I feel like I am more mature and ready to find love."

What will Reece bring to the villa?

Reece has said he believes his “good looks and good chat” will help him win the girls over.

What is Reece like in a relationship?

Even though he’s never actually been in an official relationship, he still thinks he’d be a great boyfriend, “I know how to make a girl feel special with little or big gestures.”

Why is Reece single?

The former footballer admitted, "I just haven’t found the right one to be honest. I’ve got very high standards. I am the fussiest person ever when it comes to girls.”

We hope he finds the one in the villa.

How would Reece’s family and friends describe him?

His family and friends described him in four words - “Trouble, funny, cheeky, charming.”

Well he's certainly proved that he's trouble after taking Ekin-Su on a date, even though she's loved up with Davide.

How does Reece feel about treading on toes? Is he competitive?

Similar to fellow bombshell Lacey Edwards, Reece is “used to having lots of competition” due to playing a sport competitively. He also added “I wouldn’t care about stepping on anyone's toes that doesn’t really bother me. I am going in there to find love so that’s all a part of it really.”

What's Reece's claim to fame?

Reece’s claim to fame is famous French footballer, Kylian Mbappé.

He reveals that he is “Kylian Mbappé’s official body double.”
