It seemed Blu Chegini's Love Island journey was destined to be short and sweet, dumped from the island after merely four days of this series.
That is, until a mega twist saw him stroll back into the villa earlier this week alongside fellow dumped islander Megan Forte Clarke.
It was a move that left fans divided - with many pointing out that returning islanders have a certain view of the villa happenings that the rest lack.
'It's so annoying to see Blu and Meghan back because they're now PR trained and know what the public like and don't like,' wrote one fan on X.
And after he pulled Yas – who was recently voted favourite girl by the public – for a chat, another added, 'They sent Blu in there to mess up Yas's chance of winning Love Island.'
'Blu going for Yasmin since he knows she's the most loved on the outside... Yas, don't fall for it,' wrote another.
Here's everything you need to know about OG islander-turned-bombshell, Blu Chegini.
Blu Chegini is an islander from Love Island series 12. He appeared on the show as an OG, before becoming the second islander to be dumped. He later returned as a bombshell.
Asked what he's looking for in the villa, Blu said, 'Someone who is family oriented, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive. Personality goes a long way.'
Reportedly born on 13 March, 1999, Blu is 26 years old.
Blu currently works in construction project management, having graduated from Oxford Brookes University in 2023. When he's not working, he's an avid boxer who competes in matches. He's also a model, having recently signed to Undivided model agency.
Blu's parents, however, have a very different job. His mum is the owner of a sex shop in Marbella. Opening up about her job, Blu told ITV, 'My mum owns a sex shop in Spain, which everyone knows and is quite popular. Growing up as a kid I was laughed at for it, but little did people know that all their parents were buying stuff from there.'

Blu is originally from London, but was raised in Spain after his parents relocated when he was a toddler. He lived abroad until the age of 17, when he returned to the UK.
During a recent flirty chat with Yas, Blu also revealed that he is half Persian – just like her.
On the first episode of Love Island 2025, Blu found himself coupled up with Alima Gagigo after being picked based on a fabricated dating profile. But while Alima was happy with her decision, Blu was less so. When questioned about his feelings towards Alima, Blu was quick to describe every other girl in the villa as 'beautiful.' He later admitted that Alima wasn't his 'type on paper', and the couple went their separate ways.
Blu then attempted to forge connections with other Islanders, even sharing a kiss in the Hideaway with Shakira Khan. However, he struggled to find a genuine bond and became the second islander to be dumped – despite insisting 'I'm not f*cking going.' The choice came from his fellow islanders, who chose to keep newcomer Shea Mannings in the villa. Returning to the villa, Blu declared, 'I told you all from the get-go I'm not leaving, and I'm not f*cking leaving.'
Since his villa return, Blu is having fun getting to know all the girls. Picking Angel Swift for a date, Blu's also been getting to know Yas Pettet. The couple shared a flirty chat, where Blu admitted to loving her 'sexual energy'.
Yes, he has! You can follow him on Instagram @bluchegini, where he shares pictures of his modelling shoots and boxing escapades.
