Love Island bosses approach Charlie Austin’s secret lover Rissy Gannon as potential new villa contestant
THE secret lover of footballer Charlie Austin is being lined up to star in hit TV show Love Island.
ITV bosses held talks with Rissy Gannon, 22 earlier in the week as they plan to introduce new contestants to the reality TV villa.
A source said: "Casting chiefs had a meeting with Rissy.
"She is incredibly keen and thinks it would be a great experience.
"She made a good impression in her interview. But no final decisions have yet been made."
Last week, The Sun on Sunday revealed how hairdresser Rissy had a two-month fling with the 27-year-old Southampton striker behind his wife Bianca's back.
The revelation came after Bianca, 26, had accused her husband of cheating in a tweet — but later claimed it was over a game of Monopoly.

The snog between Chloe, 22, and Amber 20, came during a racy game of Truth or Dare.
Last week 1.5 million viewers saw Amber and Kem Cetinay, Jessica Shears and Dominic Lever, have sex on the ITV reality show.

- A RECORD 65,000 applied to be on this year’s show.
- PSYCHOLOGISTS and coun-sellors are ready to help the group with tricky issues.
