AMOR AND MORE
Love Island Casa Amor line-up – CONFIRMED contestants for 2019 revealed
LOVE Island's Casa Amor has caused quite a stir, as 12 new boys and girls are hoping to steal the hearts of the main cast members.
The iconic villa will test the couples so far and see if their relationships are as strong as they think. Here's the lowdown.

Which new boys will be joining the girls in Casa Amor?
The girls headed to Casa Amor in episode 23 and while there, they were joined by a new batch of boys.
The real test is - will they stay faithful to their men, or bring home a new guy when they return to the villa?
Anna Vakili hinted that her romance with Jordan Hames could potentially be in jeopardy, saying in the Beach Hut: “When the boys came out, the first thing that I thought was woah, Ovie was so tall and handsome.”
“Literally I was just staring at him, wow… He is 28, 6 foot 7 and he’s just gorgeous. I’m really excited. Jordan who?”
The two wasted no time getting to know one another, with Ovie making it very clear that Anna was definitely his type.
“I’m at the height of my career at the moment but as I get older stuff changes, different stuff matters to you more… You are definitely my type on paper.”
Here are the guys that have joined them...
Casa Amor new boys:

Stevie Bradley
Stevie Bradley is a 21-year-old student from Isle of Man.
If there’s an Islander that’s grumpy and miserable in the villa, Stevie most likely isn’t going to get along with them - but he does add that keeping everyone happy is important to him.
So, unlike those who will tread on toes, Stevie will do whatever it takes to be with the girl he’s most attracted to, but it has to be within reason.
Though he has a wandering eye, once he’s met someone special, it wouldn’t be hard for Stevie to focus all of his attention on that particular girl.

Marvin Brooks
Marvin Brooks is a 29-year-old personal trainer and former royal navy officer from Bournemouth.
His ideal woman is Jessica Alba, and though he’s definitely not going to find her in the villa, Marvin does hope that the girl he pairs up with is just as ambitious as he is.
And when it comes to his own looks, the hunk rates himself as an 8.7 out of ten “depending on whether I’ve got a tan. I’d probably say I get most compliments on my body”.
His claim to fame came from working as Harry Redknapp’s personal trainer.

George Rains
George Rains is a 22-year-old builder from Essex.
Despite his young age, George believes that he’s ready to find his true love, mentioning how his previous relationships have all ended badly.
He doesn’t shy away from the fact that he’s used to meeting girls in clubs and continued by stressing how he’s been single for half a year now.
And though he’s open to finding the right girl for him, George would instantly be turned off by someone who is stuck up and negative.
If anything, they should be positive, outgoing and share an instant connection.

Ovie Soko
Ovie Soko is a 28-year-old professional basketball player from London.
He says that, despite being a solid 8 out of 10 in the looks department, Ovie also has a fun personality that people are just naturally attracted to.
Regarding the type of woman he hopes to find in the villa, he’d just want her to be herself but still remain humble.
He is not a fan of a woman who is "a bit too full of themselves”.
And in terms of loyalty, Ovie says that he’ll be loyal to those he has an interest in, but he’ll definitely not be playing games by leading girls on to think there’s a substantial connection between them when it’s the exact opposite.
And lastly, if a male Islander is going to open up to Ovie in private, he’s not the type of person to share it with everyone else in the villa, describing that as a bro code violation.

Dennon Lewis
Bosses have signed chiselled footballer Dennon Lewis for Casa Amor.
The handsome striker, 22, will be looking to score with one of the girls when he makes his debut in Majorca and producers think he has what it takes to turn heads.
A source exclusively told The Sun Online: "Dennon's worked hard all season and can't wait to kickstart his summer in the villa.
"He's fit, athletic and charming and will ruffle plenty of feathers once he starts to mingle with the girls."

Dan Rose
Dan was the first boy reported to be going into Casa Amor.
The 23-year-old builder from the West Midlands also works as a part-time model.
The Coventry lad is an avid traveller and has recently taken trips to Budapest, Bali and Romania.
So it makes sense that he's decided to ditch the construction sites for some fun in the sun and sources claim he will cause trouble.
According to a source, Dan's got "great banter and cracks a lot of jokes. He's always really confident especially around women".

Which new girls will be joining the boys in the main villa?
While the girls met a new batch of hunks in trunks, the boys were getting to know some new bikini babes.
Again, this will be a test to see if they really are meant to be with the person they are coupled up with.
Main villa new girls:
There was an impressive number of six girls entering the second villa.
Ranging from models to social media influencers, this bunch is rather diverse.
But will they make a great addition to the show?

Maria Wild
Instagram model Maria Wild is one of the six new girls who entered Love Island's Casa Amor.
The Sun Online revealed that Maria, who is best friend's with former Islander Danielle Sellers, would be part of the biggest shake up of the series.
A source said: "Maria is seriously hot and will get plenty of attention from the lads.
"She knows all about the show from her friendship with Danielle and is hoping she can find Mr Right."
The beauty's Instagram page gives fans a glimpse into her lavish lifestyle with snaps from trips to Dubai, St Tropez and Malta.

Joanna Chimonides
Joanna was the first girl we knew about.
Joanna is a social media influencer and model from London.
She graduated with a degree in Psychology from the University of Leicester in July, 2018.
Before finishing her education, however, Joanna developed a relationship with football player Ben Chilwell in July 2017.
But it wasn't meant to be, and Ben decided to end the relationship saying that he simply wanted to be single for the time being.

Lavena Back
Lavena Back is a 23-year-old business developer from Croydon.
She describes herself as “funny and always up for a laugh, I’m confident and I have a lot of good chat.”
When it comes to her appearance, Lavena rates herself as a “five times two out of ten”.
Aside from her daily job as a business developer, Lavena has starred in a bunch of music videos and photo shoots.

Nabila Badda
Nabila Badda is a 29-year-old hostess from London.
She’s prepared to go all the way with a man who shows an interest in her, regardless of whether he’s already seeing another girl or not.
Nabila explained: “This sounds egotistical but as long as I make it clear. I like someone, then I don’t think it’d be that hard to get a guy.”
While the stunning brunette brands herself as a loyal partner, she can’t forget that Love Island is a game show, adding that “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with finding someone else attractive and giving it a go.”

Belle Hassan
Bella Hassan is a 21-year-old make-up artist from Bromley.
Fun, funny and flirty are just some of the ways she’d describe herself, with high hopes to be swept off her feet while in the villa.
Though she’s known to meet guys through friends, Belle has never been opposed in getting to know someone through social media, admitting: “People slide into my DMS.”
She’d be immediately turned off by a cheating liar while the person she’ll most likely see herself becoming friends with is Anna Vakili.

Jourdan Riane
Jourdan Riane is a 24-year-old model and actress from Essex.
While there’s a lot of models that have entered the villa in season five, Jourdan’s credentials include landing a double page spread for Elle in 2018 and shooting with Vogue Italia.
Her approach in getting the guy she wants is to tread on people’s toes, stressing: “I’m going in there to meet someone it could work with on the outside.
“If I have a connection and we get on more than they get on with who they’re with, I have to do it. I’ll never be disrespectful though.”

How does Casa Amor work?
Casa Amor is the second "secret" villa on Love Island.
It was introduced during the third series of the show in 2017.
For the last two seasons, the boys have been sent to this other villa, but this year producers sent the girls there.
Just like the other villa, the girls have to couple up with a boy and share a bed.
This can throw a spanner in the works if they are already happy with a boy in the main villa.
More from the villa
Where is the Love Island villa Casa Amor?
The second villa is VERY close to the main one.
Both villas are within a stone's throw of each other.
They can be found off a back road called the Ma-3323 in the shadow of the Levante hills, about a mile-and-a-half north-west of the town.
In 2018 the villas were so close to each other, the boys could hear laughter from the main villa when they were sent to Casa Amor.
