Meet Love Island's New Bombshell Caprice Alexandra
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. Say hello to Caprice Alexandra, 26, Giorgio Russo, 30, Poppy Harrison, 22, and Will Means, 25, who are going to shake up things on the ITV2 dating show. Love Island bombshell Caprice ©ITV 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 producers promised 'twists and turns' for the 12th series and they have delivered on that front. Not only have viewers been treated to never-ending drama and cold-hearted uncouplings, it's been a conveyor belt of entrances and exits on the ITV2 dating show. Enter the latest round of bombshells – Giorgio Russo, 30, Caprice Alexandra, 26, Poppy Harrison, 22, and Will Means, 25 – who are sure to cause more drama amongst the villa-mates. Let's take a look at Giorgio… Love Island bombshell Giorgio Russo ©ITV Joining Caprice Alexandra, Poppy Harrison and Will Means to enter Casa Amor on 23 June is Giorgio, who goes by Gio. 'I'm excited to meet everyone. It's given me a really good opportunity to look at things from the outside so I know what I'm going in for,' he says. 'I think I'll get on with Dejon. He seems like a funny guy as well as Harry and Tommy too.' Giorgio is an account manager from Sydney, Australia, although he's originally from Maidstone. Giorgio is the brother of footballer Alessia Russo, who plays for England and Arsenal, who has already given him the seal of approval. 'She's really excited [for me], she watches every year and reckons I can do well so she's excited to see how I get on,' he says. 'I like girls with a good personality, family-oriented and fun to be around. Someone that doesn't take life too seriously,' he says. A woman who's interested in footy would be a plus. Giorgio explains, 'My sister plays pro football, so being interested in sport, they don't have to know football or understand it, but if they can show some sort of interest because it is such a prominent thing in our family. It would be hard if they hated it.' He adds, 'Other green flags are having a nice family. I'm sick of being the seventh wheel in my own family!' He reveals he's already got his eye on two of the contestants. 'There's a couple. I'll keep my cards close to my chest!' Giorgio's Instagram is @giorgiorusso_ where he shares photos with his family, gym selfies and more.

On his social media he shares many fitness related posts with his followers, which include running, surfing and working out. Gio is now ready to find love in Majorca and has landed in the villa alongside fellow bombshells Will Means, Poppy Harrison and Caprice Alexandra. Speaking about going on the show, 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." Love Islander 'gives away' he's faking relationship to stay in the villa Mentioning how sister Alessia feels about his upcoming villa stint, 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.' Continuing, he disclosed what kind of person he's hoping to find the villa. He said: "My sister plays pro football, so being interested in sport, they don't have to know football or understand it, but if they can show some sort of interest because it is such a prominent thing in our family. "It would be hard if they hated it. "Other green flags are having a nice family, I'm sick of being the 7th wheel in my own family!" 5 5

Love Island rocked by biggest shake-up yet as FOUR new bombshells storm villa - and one of them has a very famous sibling
Love Island is set to be rocked by the biggest shake-up yet as FOUR new bombshells enter the villa - and one has a very famous sibling. The Islanders are certainly going to get a shock when they set their eyes on the new sexy singletons, which will air at the end of Monday's episode of the ITV2 show. The newbies will consist of two girls and two boys - and some will meet them as they leave the main villa to go and meet them. One of the bombshells is 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.' Alessia plays forward for Women's Super League club Arsenal and the England team. Opening up about what his sibling thinks, 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.' 25-year-old Will, a personal trainer from Norkfolk, is the second boy taking part in the latest series. Talking about why he wanted to take part, Will 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 hoping that she'll be able to find a man on Love Island. 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.' And she's not afraid to go after what she wants. 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.'

Someone who is beautiful on the inside and out, looks after themselves and is healthy CLAIM TO FAME? My dad being an ex-professional footballer. I've met all kinds of famous people through him.

Megan Moore 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.

Taking hours to do my hair NAME: Alima Gagio AGE: 23 FROM: Glasgow OCCUPATION: Wealth Management Client Services Executive WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? A tall man with a handsome face. You know when you just look at a guy and they have that Disney prince look to them? That's it WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? I think she'd hire me because I'm a good flirt. I always ask guys on a night out to guess which country I'm originally from. If they get it right, they can get my number. But they never guess correctly so it works really well if you don't want to give a guy your number. I'm originally from Guinea Bissau. 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?

NAME: Megan Forte Clarke AGE: 24 FROM: Dublin OCCUPATION: Musical theatre performer and energy broker WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously and has a sense of humour. If they're not bad looking, that's always a plus. I love a boy that's a bit pasty, like Timothée Chalamet. I don't mind scrawny, or a bit of a 'dad bod'. I'm 5ft1 so any height really. CLAIM TO FAME? Me and my friends made a Derry Girls TikTok for Halloween and it went a bit viral around Brighton.

Someone who is tall, charming, witty, with big arms, a good smile and just really funny. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR LOVE LIFE? Booming, but they're all frogs.

NAME: Harry Cooksley AGE: 30 FROM: Guildford OCCUPATION: Gold trader, semi-professional footballer and model WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? The girl next door that makes me laugh and can hold eye contact with me. I don't think I'd go for the most obvious girl, I like a real sweet girl. CLAIM TO FAME? I'm the body double for Declan Rice.

NAME: Toni Laites AGE: 24 FROM: Connecticut OCCUPATION: Las Vegas Pool Cabana Server WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? I'm looking for darker hair, definitely muscular but not too muscular. Super fit. Clean hair cut. Someone that can make me laugh - I'm super outgoing. And someone that's quite active. Maybe one day we could start our own family together. I WANT TO DATE A BRITISH GUY BECAUSE... I've lived in three different states and I'm still single. It's time to try something new! I have some British friends and they're pretty charming. I think all Americans love a good accent. British men are just more polite, with better manners. NAME: Shea Mannings AGE: 25 FROM: Bristol OCCUPATION: Scaffolder WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? She needs to be bubbly and we need to have that initial spark. She needs to have a nice personality - like I think I have - so that we match together.

Someone who is really confident but not cocky. They can hold a room, communicate… oh, and biceps! WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST ICK? Bad manners, being rude, not saying please and thank you. I'd rather someone be overly polite than not say it at all. NAME: Harrison AGE: 22 OCCUPATION: US college soccer player and student WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Personality is a big thing, so it depends who I vibe with in there. WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST ICK? I don't like it when girls have celebrity crushes.
