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 latest series of the hit ITV2 show is already gearing up to be the hottest yet with two of the girls sharing a passionate kiss in Sunday's episode.
Viewers will see Chloe Crowhurst snog Amber Davies after being asked to single out the girl she fancied the most.
A source said: “They were really going for it with their kiss, and the other contestants couldn’t believe their eyes.
"The male contestants’ jaws were all on the floor.”
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.
10 RIVETING FACTOIDS ABOUT THE ISLE
By Nadia Cohen
- THE show has its own branded range of condoms left in bowls around the villa.
- IT has 72 hidden cameras, including one underwater.
- ISLANDERS are given mobiles that only let them message producers.
- 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.
- CONTESTANTS are kept apart from each other until the show. lBEDS are spaced less than 2ft apart - tempting the frisky bunch to romp.
- FLOWERS and grass in the villa’s garden are fake.
- THE pool is heated. Contestants said last year’s one in Majorca was too cold.
- THERE is a bar with the possibility of guest server. Will we see show presenter Caroline Flack, pulling pints?
