We've already been treated to bombshell after another in the 12th series of Love Island, but shock of all shockers, another four bombshells are about to enter the Casa Amor villa.

Caprice is one of the new bombshells on Love Island, who entered the show on 23 June alongside Giorgio Russo, Poppy Harrison and Will Means. They follow in the footsteps of previous bombshells Toni Laites, Yasmin Pettet, Shea Mannings, Remell Mullins and Emily Moran.
Caprice is a nursery owner from Romford, east London.
'I'm high maintenance. I just want it how I want it. I'm very particular – about everything,' she says. Caprice says she will be herself on Love Island. 'So that could either be really chilled and cool, calm and collected or really funny and outgoing.'
Caprice is looking for love and hoping that one of the hunks she meets on Love Island will be her Mr Right. 'I don't do dating apps. I'm looking '90s love. I want a man,' she says. 'A lot of men are quite sassy in this generation. I just want someone that's going to treat me well. I'm also looking for a husband. I do feel like I'm getting closer to 30, I want a ring. The streets are cold. The next person I bring home needs to be my husband.'
She's after someone who will be besotted with her, makes her feel special, and makes her laugh. Her ideal man is someone who is 'just obsessed with me, a good listener and funny'. What she doesn't want are 'arrogant guys – arrogant and cocky and they think they are the prize and they are the lucky ones' – nor anyone with long fingernails or who wears chequered boxers.
She's determined to get what she wants. 'I take no prisoners, basically. It's going to come naturally,' she said about potentially breaking up another couple.
She does. You can find her at @capricealexandra where she shares photos of her many holidays and nights out.

Love Island fans go wild over new couples as they joke one Islander looks like he's 'being held captive' by partner following dramatic recoupling
Love Island fans were left in stitches on Monday night, as the villa was shaken up once again with a dramatic new recoupling. The latest episode saw the group gathered around the famous firepit, with the girls given the choice of which boy they wanted to couple up. The new couples that emerged were Toni and Harrison, Meg and Dejon, Shakira and Harry, Yasmin and Ben, Alima and Remell, Megan and Tommy, Helena and Shea and Emily and Conor. And while some of the couples were overjoyed to be together, fans couldn't help but notice that one Islander looked less than excited by his match, claiming he looked 'fuming' and 'depressed'. After being coupled up with Shea, previously going after Dejon and sharing a secret smooch with Harry, Yasmin, 24, chose to couple up with Ben, 23, on Monday. The commercial banking executive said in her speech: 'I think although it's early days, when I have conversation with this person I feel like he just gets me. 'I came here to explore romantic connections and I think I'm really looking forward to exploring this one.' However, viewers declared the duo 'the most random coupling ever' and that Ben was 'afraid' of Yasmin, quipping he looked like he was 'being held captive'. They took to social media to react, writing: 'I'm so sorry but Ben looked so scared to walk up to sit down next to Yasmin'; 'Ben is not feeling Yasmin at all'. 'yasmin and ben are KILLING MEEEE i think they might be the maddest couple i've ever seen both laughing at how random it is, i kind of love it'; 'Ben looks depressed'. 'Ben looks like he's being held captive by Yasmin right now hahahahahahah this love island is so ridiculous this year'; 'even just the idea of yasmin and ben is killing me'. 'Ben looks like he's afraid of Yasmin'; 'Ben and Yasmin might be the most random coupling ever, they have nothing in common'; 'Feel like Ben's going to fight with YasGPT soon'. Meanwhile, the episode ended with a huge cliffhanger, after Emily, Helena, Dejon and Remell were told there was a car waiting for them outside the villa to whisk them away for a cheeky sleepover with four new bombshells. And among the new sexy singletons is Arsenal and England footballer Alessia Russo 's brother Giorgio Russo, 30. The account manager, from Maidstone, lives in Sydney - but is ready to find The One in Mallorca, Spain. Speaking about his upcoming stint on Love Island, he said: 'I'm excited, it's given me a really good opportunity to look at things from the outside so I know what I'm going in for.' Opening up about what his famous sibling thinks about him going on the show, he said: 'She's really excited, she watches every year and reckons I can do well so she's excited to see how I get on.' While Will, a 25-year-old personal trainer from Norkfolk, is the second boy taking part in the latest series. Talking about why he wanted to take part, he confessed: 'I'm excited and looking forward to getting in there and speaking to the girls. It's the chance to meet a soulmate, which would be great.' Sharing a fun fact about himself, he said: 'I grew up on the family farm and I was named 4th fittest farmer by Farmers' Weekly in 2023. It's a fitness competition. 'It was good. A bit of a laugh, 4th in the UK is quite cool. I think about 5,000 entered. It raises awareness for mental health as well and helps build a community among young farmers who spend a lot of time in tractors on their own.' Meanwhile dental nurse Poppy, 22, is also hoping that she'll be able to find love in the villa, and declared she's not afraid to go after what she wants. She said: 'I like someone who has big energy but not too big. I love a good sense of humour but I basically need to keep them grounded, but for them to keep me on my toes. I do get bored quickly.' Poppy added: 'I'm a girls' girl but I don't mind causing a bit of drama and getting to know everyone equally. Everyone else would.' Meanwhile nursery owner Caprice, 26, from Romford, is hopeful she can find a meaningful connection - which could end in marriage. Caprice said: 'I'm looking for 90s love. I want a man. A lot of men are quite sassy in this generation. I just want someone that's going to treat me well. 'I'm also looking for a husband. I do feel like I'm getting closer to 30, I want a ring. The streets are cold. The next person I bring home needs to be my husband.' Opening up about her green and red flags, she said: 'I hate arrogant guys. Arrogant and cocky and they think they are the prize and they are the lucky ones. Just obsessed with me, a good listener and funny.'

NAME: Megan Moore AGE: 25 FROM: Southampton OCCUPATION: Payroll specialist WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? I'd like to meet someone who is tall, with a nice tan, nice eyes and a nice smile.

If they're close and I really fancy them, I'll give them my number anyway. NAME: Ben Holbrough AGE: 23 FROM: Gloucester OCCUPATION: Private Hire Taxi driver WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

Love Island fans fume over 'missing' Islanders as four new bombshells arrive
Love Island viewers have wanted to see more of Alima's relationship with Remell and are complaining that they have only been shown on screen tonight just as their relationship was put in jeopardy Love Island viewers are demanding answers after fan-favourite couple Alima Gagigo and Remell Mullins were only given screen time tonight (June 23) because their relationship was about to be threatened by new bombshells. Viewers have claimed that their blossoming romance is being ignored by the camera crew, and were left fuming tonight that it took a threat to Alima's connection for her and Remell to finally have one of their chats aired. One person took to social media complaining: " Love Island producers YOU WILL CRUMBLEEEE. Remell is talking about potentially making Alima his girlfriend. AND WE'VE SEEN NONE OF IT!!!" Another gushed: "FINALLLYYYYY ALIMA CONTENT! Love Island you will CRUMBLE for how you've had us starved." Fans were first introduced to Remell earlier in the series came into the villa alongside fellow bombshell Shea Mannings. During a spicy game of dares, sparks flew between Remell and Alima after she was dared to kiss the boy she'd couple up with. She chose Remell, and later admitted she felt an instant attraction to him, which he agreed was mutual. They did have an initial bump in the road when Remell was dared to reveal a juicy secret, and admitted that he once slept with five people in one night. Alima seemed stunned by his confession, and in the Beach Hut later said: "This is the first time that he's walking into a villa like with new people. You then go and say that you've slept with five people in a night. I'm like, why would you say that?" Despite their rocky start, things turned a corner for the couple and tonight Remell was even seen declaring that if things continue in this vein, he would consider taking his relationship with Alima to the next level and potentially asking her to be his girlfriend. However, viewers have made frustrated claims that the pair have been sidelined in recent episodes of the dating show. They became even more irritated when show bosses finally aired a brief scene between the pair right before one of the new bombshells chose to go on a date with Remell. One fan hit out: "Oh yeah of course they gave them screen time just for the bombshell to choose Remell. Love Island UK count your days." Another added: "Nah Love Island producers have absolutely mocked it by not showing us any Remell & Alima scenes… no idea how they are even progressing until a recoupling speech??" Some even said that Alima will only get screen time on the show if there is drama in her relationship, sighing: "I bet you if Remell likes any of these bombshells they will put Alima's face on the Love Island ITV banner because she'll be in problems. But while she's happy, she's furniture."
