New Love Island bombshell arrives and makes telling claim amid recoupling twist
A new Love Island bombshell is ready to stir things up in the villa, admitting he isn't there to make friends as the couples get ready to potentially switch up
The Love Island twists continue to come and yet another bombshell is set to rock the villa's equilibrium. With another recoupling ready to take place on the hit ITV2 dating show, another hopeful is ready to enter the Mallorcan abode.
The newbie, a 22-year-old US college soccer player from Derby has revealed they are excited to fight for love in the villa. And he has hinted he has his eye on a number of the current girls.
Harrison, who currently lives in Florida, admitted he isn't afraid to shake things up to get what he wants. He insisted he isn't entering to make friends.
When asked he would feel if he broke up a current match, he confidently confirmed: "That's what I have to do. I'm not here to make friends. If the girl is for me, I'm going to grab that. That's no issue. I'm in there for myself at the end of the day."
He added: "There's a lot of girls in there that are my type, it could get a little busy, honestly." Explaining his usual type, Harrison went on: "I need someone who is fiery and got a bit of an attitude.
"I don't want someone boring in the corner. I want someone who has got a bit of substance and voices their opinion. Confidence, being family oriented is a big one for me and someone who is ambitious, too."
And he also admitted distance wouldn't be an issue, claiming that you will make it work if you like someone enough. However, he warned that he would be immediately turned off if a girl is stuck up or rude.
"My perfect situation is for them to come with my family, watch me play and understand - at least slightly - what's going on," he said when talking about his ideal situation.
Fans of the show could see sparks fly between himself and previous bombshell, Toni. He added: "I do really like American girls. Their personality is slightly different, in general they're more confident and go for what they want. But I like a challenge, I like a bit of the chase."
The new introduction comes after another recoupling is announced, with the boys being tasked with picking this time. Conor receives a text which reads: "Islanders, Tonight there will be a recoupling in which the boys will choose which girl they want to couple up with. #DecisionTime #ShesTheOne"
While some boys are clear on the choice, others have a big decision ahead with questions lingering in their mind. They huddle for a chat as they preparing their speeches and get ready for the evening ahead.

The 2025 James Beard Awards have named the best restaurants and chefs in America
It's official: It's time to update your restaurant bucket list. That's because you've got a fresh crop of James Beard Award winners to eat and drink your way through. Following the Padma Lakshmi-hosted James Beard Foundation Media Awards over the weekend, food's biggest night — i.e. the James Beard Foundation Restaurant and Chef Awards — took place yesterday, June 16, at the Lyric Opera in Chicago, with Nyesha Arrington and Andrew Zimmern acting as the masters of ceremony and announcing this year's illustrious class of winners. And an exciting group they are — for the first time this year, the awards body gave extra recognition to excellency across cocktail and bar culture with three new categories, handing out golden honors for Best New Bar (to Identidad Cocktail Bar in San Juan, Puerto Rico), Outstanding Professional in Beverage Service (to Arjav Ezekiel from Birdie's in Austin, TX) and Outstanding Professional in Cocktail Service (to Ignacio Jimenez of New York City drinks den Superbueno). As for the biggies — that would be Best New Restaurant, Outstanding Chef and Outstanding Restaurant — those honors were nicely dispersed among culinary talents from across the country. Bûcheron, a French-American stunner in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was named Best New Restaurant, while Outstanding Restaurant was awarded to Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder, Colorado, a favorite for its refined Northern Italian plates and top-shelf wines. And continuing a dominant streak by New York's food scene — New York City won five of its seven nominations this year, a bit of redemption after being completely shut out from the major categories last year — the Outstanding Chef Award went to Jungsik Yim, who helms the three-Michelin-starred "New Korean" dining room Jungsik in New York City.

Say Hello To Love Island's New Bombshell, Harrison Solomon
We've lost count of the number of hotties in this year's Love Island villa, from Tommy Bradley and Ben Holbrough to Dejon Noel-Williams. Joining the hunks is handsome footballer and model Harrison Solomon, who will be making his entrance as the ITV2 dating show's newest bombshell tonight – much to the surprise to the rest of the villa. 'I'm excited – I just want to get in there. I'm buzzing to go in,' he says. 'There's a lot of girls in there that are my type. It could get a little busy, honestly.' Harrison Solomon is the latest bombshell to follow in the footsteps of Remell Mullins and Shea Mannings to enter the villa. He joined the show on 17 June. Harrison is from Derby, but lives in Florida where he has been studying. Harrison played football at the University of New Hampshire and played in defence for Derby County's youth side. Harrison is friends with Amber Wise, who was on the show in 2023. You can find Harrison @hj_solomon, where he shares photos of himself on holiday, playing football and with pals. 'Personality is a big thing, so it depends who I vibe with in there,' he says. 'I need someone who is fiery and got a bit of an attitude. I don't want someone boring in the corner. I want someone who has got a bit of substance and voices their opinion. Confidence, being family oriented is a big one for me and someone who is ambitious, too.' He adds, 'I like a challenge, I like a bit of the chase.' 'Stuck up and rude' ladies need not apply. And while they don't have to be a footy fan, Harrison would like them to have a basic knowledge of the sport. 'Girls I've dated before have been into it. My perfect situation is for them to come with my family, watch me play and understand – at least slightly – what's going on.'

Love Island 2025: Meet Bombshell Emily Moran
With producers promising 'twists and turns' in this year's series of Love Island, the latest season is definitely living up to our expectations. Brutal dumpings, cold-hearted uncouplings, endless drama and game-playing is clearly on the agenda this time around. Within days of the series' start, a number of male and female bombshells entered the Love Island villa to shake things up. One of them is Emily Moran. Let's find out more about her... Emily Moran is one of the Love Island 2025 bombshells, who entered the villa on day five alongside Yasmin Pettet and Malisha Jordan. Emily is from Aberdare, in Wales – the same town as Nicole Samuel from last year's show. She was living in Sydney, Australia, before flying back for Love Island. Emily works as an insurance development executive. She does! You can find her @emilyxmorann She definitely sounds like someone we don't want to cross! 'I'm really stubborn. I am always right and I don't argue unless I know I'm right,' Emily says. 'If someone's arguing with me and I know I'm right… watch out! I'm not very good at being the one to say 'sorry', I'm stubborn and set in my ways. If I make my mind up I'm set, which can be good and bad. I'm decisive, 100 percent.' Currently in her 'wholesome era', she works out every day – her faves are Pilates and running – and she enjoys reading. She still likes a night out but admits she's home by 10pm. She says that she's all for girl power and won't steal a guy from another villa-mate, unless the circumstances feel right. 'I wouldn't go after someone who wasn't giving me the vibe back, I wouldn't choose someone who didn't fancy me,' Emily explains. 'You can always feel if there's a vibe. I wouldn't want someone who doesn't want me or was giving someone else the time of day or lying to me. I want to be open and honest.' She reveals he's got to have the right combination of brains and brawn. 'Someone with emotional intelligence for one. Someone who is really confident but not cocky. They can hold a room, communicate… oh, and biceps!' she says. Emily is holding out for her knight. 'I want someone who is just really genuine and kind. I know that sounds so naff, but it's hard to find these days,' she explains. 'I'd also like a man who genuinely cares about my wellbeing and my feelings and wants to look after me. I want a male figure comforting me and wanting to do the little things, like getting me a morning coffee and noticing if my back needs suncream. I feel like that's where people have lacked before.' What she doesn't want is someone who is rude, admitting that anyone with 'bad manners, being rude, not saying please and thank you' would put her off. 'I'd rather someone be overly polite than not say it at all.' Being a latecomer to the party meant that Emily wasn't able to match officially with a guy – until the fourth recoupling. She's been getting closer to Irish rugby player Conor Phillips, but his 'partner' Toni Laites stood in the way. Wanting to be honest and open, Emily had a talk with Toni. 'He [Conor] mentioned [going to] the Hideaway, but I said no because I respect how you've been throughout the whole situation,' Emily told Toni. She also made it clear that she doesn't want to hurt her, adding, 'I think the world of you, you'll have your man, you will! Toni then confronted Conor, paving the way clear for Emily and Conor to explore their feelings. Where will they go from here?
