Meanwhile, Gemma – the daughter of footballer Michael Owen – reveals she’s looking for a guy “that is really family orientated – that is so important” and has “good morals”.

After getting to know the girls, Laura asks them to line up in front of the pool as they await the arrival of the boys.

Laura tells them: “Well girls, it’s time to couple up. There is something I haven’t told you yet – things are a little different this year.

“You thought you’d all be stepping forward for the boys you fancy the most.”

In addition, she says: “However, this is Love Island and you never know what to expect.

“For the first time ever, we asked the public to play cupid and pick the boy they thought you should couple up with.”

The boys Dami, Liam, Ikenna, Andrew and Luca then enter the villa as one-by-one they’re paired with a girl who the public chose.

However, it isn’t long before another big twist as a new arrival causes a stir.

As the Islanders’ first day comes to an end, new boy Davide enters the villa and is already catching a few eyes.

Indiyah admits in the Beach Hut: “When I saw him, I was very confused because I had no warning.

“But he is very good looking!”

Meanwhile, Gemma then confesses that she “was blown away”.

As Davide arrives, the Islanders take part in a game of dares and he has to do a “strip tease”.
