ALL Stars bombshell Joanna Chimonides has revealed why she really split from ex-boyfriend Michael Griffiths.
The Love Island beauty will strut into the villa tonight alongside Casey O'Gorman.
Joanna is sure to turn heads, and Tom Clare already revealed he was hoping she'd jet into the villa before his own arrival.
But it could all make for difficult viewing for Michael, who was desperate to make a go of it with season five partner Joanna, before she ended things for good.
Speaking to Metro, she said: "I could see he wanted to try more, but I couldn’t. It was draining. I just didn’t want it anymore."

The pair briefly reunited for an appearance on BBC Three's Eating With My Ex, but mid-meal Joanna realised it wasn't right to revisit the past.
She said: "It was Michael’s idea, so I was like, 'OK, I’ll go for a nice dinner,' you’ve come crawling back…"
The show sees exes come face to face over dinner as they thrash out their past problems.
Despite being five years her senior, Joanna said she felt Michael was still just a "boy".
She continued: "I’m always like if someone wants you they’ll fight for you, he came out and tried to fight for me but it was just too late."
Back in 2019, Joanna and Michael were paired together in the villa when she was axed by the public.
The former fireman chose not to leave with her, sparking some ill-feeling.
However, both have since admitted there was never going to be wedding bells.
"After the show we made it clear we just wanted to be friends," Michael previously spilled. "We went out a few times in groups, but nothing happened."
While Joanna said: "Deep down I knew how it was going to end.

"I knew I was going to make that decision but there was a part of me which thought I might still want to be with him; it could go either way."
