It’s already that time in the Love Island villa, as Casa Amor begins wreaking its havoc on loved-up (and less loved-up) couples.

After a fresh serving of bombshells arrived, the girls were whisked off to meet the new boys while the OG lads stayed in the villa to greet the new girls during Sunday’s episode.

Once again, Gemma Owen revealed a link to a new contestant as she shared that she knew Billy Brown.

Previously she was surprised by her ex-boyfriend Jacques O’Neill joining the show, who is currently coupled up with Paige Thorne.

She has also bonded with newbie Jack Keating after quickly rumbling him as a fellow ‘offspring of a famous person’, owing to his dad, Boyzone star Ronan Keating, and her long-suffering father, football legend Michael Owen.

On Sunday, Gemma spilled the beans about her connection with roofing company director Billy.

The 19-year-old international dressage rider shared that she and 23-year-old Billy have mutual close friends, telling the girls so.

She later explained: ‘One of my best mate boy mates on the outside is his best mate.’

But Gemma made sure to warn her gal pals that Billy is a ‘bit of a player’, so do we sense there might be some shared drama in the past?

‘You can tell by his personality,’ she added.

However, they mutually follow each other on social media so there is some friendship between the two of them too.

His arrival comes after reports that show bosses were drafting in another bombshell with links to Gemma after Jacques, hoping it would turn up the chaos.

Billy has previously been described as ‘a ladies man’ too, with him saying ahead of his arrival: ‘I’m very competitive in anything I do. Whatever it is, I always want to win. This is about winning the girl I want, sort of thing.

‘If that girl has a better connection with me and likes the look of me more then I’m obviously going to change her mind.’

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
