Casa Amor kicked off when the main villa lads were tasked with snogging the new villa beauties.
Now fresh arrival Rheo Parnell's connection to Love Island and All Stars alum Mitch Taylor, 29, has been revealed - leaving fans stunned.
Eagle-eyed viewers were quick to spot an Instagram comment from the Sheffield lad which read "slay Rheo."
One fan was quick to reply: "You know this girl?"
Another then posted: "His girlfriend's best mate."
Musician Rheo is pals with Messy Mitch's girlfriend, South African TikTok-er Hayley Griffin.
The band member is also a founder of Drip Beauty UK.
The Warwickshire lass, who also works as a ring girl, previously told of her "strong minded" nature ahead of her villa stint.
She confessed: "I've got my eye on Harrison.
"He's cheeky and has a bit about him. I've noticed that he likes a bit of role play, which is interesting.
Love Island fans left feeling 'sick' after last night's snogging challenge
"He keeps getting people to get up and act stuff out which is so jokes. I like his imagination.
"I'm locked and loaded on him, target secured."
SHOW STAR
It came after viewers were first to spot how another Casa bombshell had been on the series before - sparking fix rows.
Lauren Wood was one of this year's guinea pig Islanders for Love Island's 'dry run' in May and execs loved her so much, they cherry picked her to return.
It means she could quickly be deemed a "producer plant" by viewers.
Every year a group of stand-ins move into the villa before the real cast arrive to allow the crew to test camera angles, sound, and whether furniture and fittings are all ready for eight weeks' work.
A source said: 'Lauren was one of the dry run Islanders but bosses loved her so guaranteed her a slot in Casa Amor.
'Fans will feel like she's going in there as a producer plant as she's been specially chosen and has the added advantage of having been among crew, in the villa, and knows how everything works.
'Certainly it'll help her feel a bit more comfortable and confident.
'There's been other Islanders in the past who went from a dry runner to full cast.
"2023's winner Sanam Harrinanan was part of the dry run cast and then went all the way."

Strictly love rat set to step into I'm A Celeb jungle for SECOND time for All Stars version of ITV show
STRICTLY Come Dancing love rat Seann Walsh is gearing up to go back on the All Stars version of I'm A Me Out of Here! The comedian saw his career implode when he was pictured snogging his pro partner on the 2018 series of BBC One dance contest, Katya Jones. 4 Strictly Come Dancing love rat Seann Walsh is preparing for a comeback on the All Stars edition of I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! Credit: Rex 4 Seann's career took a hit after he was caught kissing his pro partner Katya Jones on the 2018 Strictly series Credit: Getty 4 Seann with former girlfriend actress Rebecca Humphries whom he branded 'a psycho' after being caught snogging Katya Credit: Getty She was married to fellow Strictly dancer Neil Jones at the time and Seann, 39, was dating actress Rebecca Humphries whom he branded 'a psycho' when she'd voice her suspicions he was cheating on her. A TV insider said: 'When he went into the jungle in 2022 he very much did it in the hope of redeeming himself in the eyes of the viewing public. 'Which was no mean feat given he'd been branded an aggressive gaslighter as a result of his fling with Katya and his treatment of his girlfriend. 'Yet he managed to emerge as one of the more popular campmates and actually finished in a respectable fifth place in the contest. 'Part of the reason why he came across comparatively well was because he went into I'm A Celebrity with an even bigger love rat. 'His entry into the camp was alongside former Health Secretary Matt Hancock who was at the centre of an exclusive in The Sun revealing he had had an affair with a political adviser Gina Coladangelo in 2021.' In the three years since he left the jungle Seann has had a daughter with dance teacher Grace Adderley, whom he's been in a relationship with since 2019. He said he was traumatised by the public backlash against his fling with Katya, and he had to undergo treatment for depression and anxiety as a result. Seann is now in advanced talks with ITV about signing for the second series of the All Stars spin-off, which is due to be filmed in South Africa later this year. The line-up for the show, likely to air in 2026, will also include former football manager Harry Redknapp, 78, who was crowned King of the Jungle in 2018, and The Only Way is Essex star Gemma Collins, 44, who was only on the show for three days in 2014. First look at Matt Hancock and Seann Walsh on I'm A Celebrity The first all-star version of the show aired in 2023, and brought back former campmates Myleene Klass, who finished in first place, as well as Helen Flanagan.
