As the drama inside the Love Island villa is hotting up, show runners are preparing to drop two live explosions to switch things up.
Commonly referred to on the show as ‘bombshells’ - two men will walk through the front door as their new housemates reel from the exit of London lounge host Afia, who was booted from the show at the end of Monday night’s recoupling.

Who is Jay Younger and how old is he?
Jay Younger is a 28-year-old male bombshell that is set to enter the Mallorcan villa.
He is a gym fanatic - previously an award-winning athlete- who believes he has what it takes to find love in Love Island.

Not only that, but Mr Younger has a claim to fame that is rooted in Scottish sport - his grandad is a former Scotland football player and captain.
Known across the Scottish isles as Tommy Younger, the goalkeeper - who sadly passed away in 1984 aged 53 - has formerly featured for Premier League giant Liverpool FC.
Playing for the Merseyside club in the 50s, Tommy went on to represent his national side on four occasions.

Jay Younger hails from the lovely Scottish region of Musselburgh, which is located just six miles from Edinburgh.

This was achieved after Jay studied economics and finance at Heriot-Watt University located in Edinburgh.
