And excited viewers think whoever is coupled up wit h Ben will be sent packing after Antonia revealed her celeb crushes.
Before entering the villa, Toni explained that she had soft spot for Bradley Cooper and Kim Kardashian 's ex Odell Beckham Jr.
Discussing who she might go for, one person speculated: 'I would say whoever is coupled up with Ben or maybe Connor is probably in trouble no girls were interested in sam last year when he got dumped , possibly the girl who gets dumped has no boys interested in her as it makes no sense dumping a girl who is popular with the boys.'
A second said: 'I feel like the bombshell would go for ben or blu so i fear it might be Shakira , meg or helena.'
While a third added: 'Shakira is going home. I think she picks Ben and then Toni picks Ben dumping Shakira. Put it this way if it is her she better be coming back.'
Tonight's episode is set to start with a bang as Maya makes a huge announcement shortly after the girls arrive.
She tells them: 'This year things are slightly different. You've told me what your type on paper is, but does that match your ideal man in reality? Come and join me by the pool.'
As the girls line up, Maya explains: 'Girls, in front of you there are six love hearts and each boy has given me their dating profile which is written on each of these hearts - shall we have a look at what these boys have to offer?'
On the boards the girls see descriptions for this year's boys: Ben, Dejon, Harry, Conor, Blu and Tommy.
The girls have to decide who they'd like to couple up with based on these key stats with the boys' name, age, job and a headline, such as 'I like to play hard and work harder! I love to play, so I work very hard…', to help them decide who to pick.
Love Island shock as girl is dumped from show in most brutal launch twist EVER
After discussing the profiles and trying to work out who might be right for them, Maya counts to three and they must run to a heart, with only one girl allowed to stand by each heart.
Once the boys arrive and meet their match, it doesn't take long until they get another surprise.
Maya makes a shock return to the Villa with some huge news - someone new is already on their way.

Suddenly, the series' first bombshell Toni makes a dramatic entrance into the Villa.
The Islanders are quick to realise she's come all the way from the US as Toni teasingly says: 'Good evening UK! Surprise!'
The Islanders can't believe there's an American bombshell and there's clearly some excitement amongst the boys… and some concerns for the girls.
Maya then drops some more big news: not only has Toni just arrived all the way from the States, but she is also going to immediately steal one of the boys - meaning one girls time on the island will be cut short.

American Pickers star Mike Wolfe branded as unrecognizable as he debuts new look
He's usually spotted scouring barns and backroads for forgotten relics, but American Pickers star Mike Wolfe has now turned heads for a very different reason. The 60-year-old reality TV star looked nearly unrecognizable in a new selfie shared to his Instagram Stories on Sunday, June 8. In the picture, he was seen standing alongside his girlfriend, former Beauty and the Geek contestant Leticia Cline, 46. Wolfe, known for his signature Americana style and keen eye for vintage treasures, rocked a yellow tee, green ball cap, black sunglasses, and a noticeably longer beard. Cline complemented his incognito look with a blue shirt, yellow hat, and a pair of red-orange shades. 'Undercover with @leticiacline,' Wolfe cheekily captioned the snapshot, which was set to The Rolling Stones ' Undercover of the Night. With both wearing hats and sunglasses, the couple looked like they were on a covert mission - potentially involving some antiques. Or perhaps they were just trying to enjoy a low-key day out without getting recognized by fans. The selfie comes weeks after he thrilled fans with a shocking career move: stepping into the world of film. In the upcoming movie Day of Reckoning, Wolfe will star alongside his girlfriend, Cline. The couple reportedly filmed the project earlier this year, marking Wolfe's first major acting role outside of his long-running reality series. Details of the film are still under wraps, but sources say the gritty thriller will show a whole new side of the antique hunter. Wolfe has certainly been keeping busy lately. In addition to launching a business venture in Le Claire, Iowa - rumored to be linked to fellow Pickers star Danielle Colby - he's also announced a brand-new History Channel series called History's Greatest Picks with Mike Wolfe. He also recently wrapped filming for Season 27 of American Pickers. But it's not all good news: as Wolfe recently shared a bittersweet update about the end of an era, announcing the closure of Antique Archaeology in Nashville Tennessee after 15 years. He explained that he wanted to slow down, focus on his family, and give his attention to projects that would 'pull at his soul.' He specified that he wasn't disappearing. 'I'll still be picking, sharing, and selling online and at our original LeClaire, Iowa store,' he said in his Instagram post. 'But I've learned over the years that it's easy to spread yourself too thin, and balance is something we all chase in one way or another.' But if his latest moves are any indication, the road ahead looks anything but dull.

Frederick Forsyth obituary
Frederick Forsyth always claimed that when, in early 1970, as an unemployed foreign correspondent, he sat down at a portable typewriter and 'bashed out' The Day of the Jackal, he 'never had the slightest intention of becoming a novelist'. Forsyth, who has died aged 86, also became well known as a political and social commentator, often with acerbic views on the European Union, international terrorism, security matters and the status of Britain's armed forces, but it is for his thrillers that he will be best remembered. Forsyth's manuscript for The Day of the Jackal was rejected by three publishers and withdrawn from a fourth before being taken up by Hutchinson in a three-book deal in 1971. Even then there were doubts, as half the publisher's sales force were said to have expressed no confidence in a book that plotted the assassination of the French president General Charles de Gaulle – an event that everyone knew did not happen. The skill of the book was that its pace and seemingly forensic detail encouraged readers to suspend disbelief and accept that not only was the plot real, but that the Jackal – an anonymous English assassin – almost pulled it off. In fact, at certain points, the reader's sympathy lies with the Jackal rather than with his victim. It was a publishing tour de force, winning the Mystery Writers' of America Edgar award for best first novel, attracting a record paperback deal at the Frankfurt book fair and being quickly filmed by the US director Fred Zinnemann, with Edward Fox as the ruthless Jackal. Forsyth was offered a flat fee for the film rights (£20,000) or a fee plus a percentage of the profits – he took the flat fee, later admitting that he was 'pathetic at money'. The 1972 paperback edition of The Day of the Jackal was reprinted 33 times in 18 years and is still in print, but while readers were happy to be taken in by Forsyth's painstakingly researched details (about everything from faked passports to assembling a sniper's rifle), the critics and the crime-writing establishment were far from impressed. Whodunit? A Guide to Crime, Spy and Suspense Stories, published in 1982, by which time Forsyth's sales were well into the millions, declared rather loftily that 'authenticity is to Forsyth what imagination is to many other writers', and the critic Julian Symons dismissed Forsyth as having 'no pretension to anything more than journalistic expertise'. It was a formula that readers clearly approved of, with the subsequent novels in that original three-book deal, The Odessa File (1972) and The Dogs of War (1974), being both bestsellers and successful films. Novellas, collections of short stories and more novels were to follow. These included The Fourth Protocol (1984), which had a cameo role for the British spy-in-exile Kim Philby and was also successfully filmed, with a screenplay by Forsyth and starring Michael Caine and a pre-Bond Pierce Brosnan and, against type, The Phantom of Manhattan (1999), a sequel to Gaston Leroux's The Phantom of the Opera. Nothing, however, was to match the impact of The Day of the Jackal and when a Guardian journalist spotted a copy in a London flat used by the world's most wanted terrorist, Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, or 'Carlos', in 1975, the British press dubbed him Carlos the Jackal, with no need to explain the reference. Born in Ashford, Kent, Frederick was the son of Phyllis and Frederick Sr, shopkeepers at 4 North Street – his mother's dress business operated on the ground floor and his father sold furs on the first floor. He was educated at Tonbridge school, where supportive teachers and summer holidays abroad ensured that Frederick excelled at French, German and Russian. At the age of 16, he enrolled on an RAF flying scholarship course that brought him a pilot's licence by the age of 17 and eased his way into the RAF proper for his national service, where he obtained his pilot's 'wings' and flew Vampire jets as the youngest pilot in the service. However, when he failed in his ambition to be posted to a frontline squadron, he opted for a change of career and in 1958 entered journalism as a trainee with the Eastern Daily Press in their King's Lynn office. In the autumn of 1961 he set his sights on Fleet Street, and his fluency with languages (which now included Spanish) got him a job with Reuters press agency. In May 1962, he was posted to Reuters' office in Paris, where De Gaulle was the target of numerous assassination attempts by disaffected Algerians. The experience was not lost on Forsyth, but before he could put it to good use in The Day of the Jackal, there were other journalistic postings, a war to survive and a non-fiction book to write. The Reuters' office in East Berlin was a plum posting for any journalist in 1963 as the cold war turned distinctly chilly, despite the attentions of the East German security services. However, when he returned to Britain in 1965 for a job as a diplomatic correspondent with the BBC, it was Broadcasting House rather than East Berlin which he found to be 'a nest of vipers'. Forsyth's relationship with the BBC hierarchy was antagonistic from the start and deteriorated rapidly when he was sent to Nigeria in 1967 to cover the civil war then unravelling. Objecting to the unquestioning acceptance of Nigerian communiques that downplayed the situation, by both the Foreign Office and the BBC, Forsyth began to file stories putting the secessionist Biafran side of the story as well as the developing humanitarian crisis. He was recalled to London for an official BBC reprimand but returned to Nigeria as a freelance at his own expense to cover the increasingly bloody war and to write a Penguin special, The Biafra Story (1969). He returned to Britain for Christmas 1969, low on funds, his BBC career in tatters and with nowhere to live. On 2 January 1970, camped out in the flat of a friend, he began to write a novel on a battered portable typewriter. After 35 days The Day of the Jackal was finished, and fame and fortune followed. In 1973 he married Carrie (Carole) Cunningham, and they moved to Spain to avoid the rates of income tax likely to be introduced by an incoming Labour government. In 1974 they relocated to County Wicklow in Ireland, where writers and artists were treated gently when it came to tax, returning to Britain in 1980 once Margaret Thatcher was firmly established in Downing Street. By 1990, Forsyth had undergone an amicable divorce from Carrie, but a far less amicable separation from his investment broker and his life savings, and claimed to have lost more than £2m in a share fraud. To recoup his losses, Forsyth threw himself into writing fiction, producing another string of bestsellers, although none had the impact of his first three novels. He was appointed CBE in 1997 and received the Crime Writers' Association's Diamond Dagger for lifetime achievement in 2012. In 2016 he announced that he would write no more thrillers and that his memoir The Outsider (2015), which revealed that he had worked as an unpaid courier for MI6, or 'The Firm' as he called it, would be his swansong. He acquired a reputation as a rather pungent pundit, both on Radio 4 and in a column in the Daily Express, when it came to such topics as the 'offensive' European Union, the leadership of the Conservative party, the state of Britain's prisons and jihadist volunteers returning from Middle Eastern conflicts. He was an active campaigner on behalf of Sgt Alexander Blackman, 'Marine A', who was jailed for the murder of an injured Taliban fighter in Afghanistan in 2011. Forsyth maintained that Blackman had been made a scapegoat by the army from the moment of his court martial. In 2017 the conviction was overturned. Often concerned with military charities, Forsyth wrote the lyrics to Fallen Soldier, a lament for military casualties in all wars recorded and released in 2016. Forsyth was not the first foreign correspondent to take up thriller-writing. Ian Fleming had led the way in the 1950s, with Alan Williams and Derek Lambert carrying the torch into the 1960s. The spectacular success of The Day of the Jackal did however encourage a new generation, among them the ITN reporter Gerald Seymour, whose debut novel, Harry's Game, was generously reviewed by Forsyth in the Sunday Express in 1975. Years later, Seymour remembered the impact of Forsyth's debut, The Day of the Jackal: 'That really hit the news rooms. There was a feeling that it should be part of a journalist's knapsack to have a thriller.' Despite having declared Forsyth's retirement from fiction, his publisher Bantam announced the appearance of an 18th novel, The Fox, in 2018. Based on real-life cases of young British hackers, The Fox centres on an 18-year-old schoolboy with Asperger syndrome and the ability to access the computers of government security and defence systems. For Christmas 1973 Disney based the short film The Shepherd, a ghostly evocation of second world war airfields, on a 1975 short story by Forsyth. The following year The Day of the Jackal was reimagined by Ronan Bennett for a TV series with Eddie Redmayne taking the place of Fox. Later this year a sequel to The Odessa File, Revenge of Odessa, written with Tony Kent, is due to appear. Forsyth will be a subject of the BBC TV documentary series In My Own Words. In 1994 he married Sandy Molloy. She died last year. He is survived by his two sons, Stuart and Shane, from his first marriage. Frederick Forsyth, journalist and thriller writer, born 25 August 1938; died 9 June 2025
