Love Island has catapulted the relatives of a number of famous faces into fame in their own right over the years, with the likes of EastEnders actor Danny Dyer’s daughter Dani and former Strictly pro AJ Pritchard’s brother Curtis all entering the villa in previous series.
According to reports, it’s claimed that another celeb offspring has agreed to join the show – Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Holly.
With the ITV2 dating show in just one week - Monday 28 June guys and gals - all eyes are on theofficial line-up of eleven singletonsthat are gearing up to strut into the villa. In true Love Island style though, a whole load of potential cast members are poised and ready to be bombshells at any given minute.
According to reports, Love Island bosses were desperate for the 21-year-old model and influencer to appear on the show and finally got her to sign on the dotted line after months of talks. Could she be a Love Island bombshell?
A TV insider explained, “Holly is the big signing — she’s the one they really wanted to get. It’s taken months of talks but Holly's now committed to it.
“She’s a very exciting addition to the cast and will be a massive hit with the viewers.”
“Holly’s been brought up to work hard, show respect and not to rely on her dad’s celebrity. She’s finding her own way and will be successful in her own right,” they added to The Sun.
