Earlier this week reality TV star Joey Essex, 33, surprised contestants when he joined them in Majorca.

Dancer Abbie, 27, already has links to the ITV2 show through AJ’s brother Curtis, who came fourth in 2019.

A source said: “Abbie has become well-known in her own right and after her break up with AJ she fancied a fresh chance at love.

“Joey went in as the first big bombshell and Abbie is waiting in the wings for the call up.

“She has been in talks with Love Island for weeks over being a bombshell and has said she can’t wait to dive in and mix things up.

"When she was with AJ she found out a lot about Love Island through Curtis so she knows what is in store for her.”

AJ, 29, and Abbie split in 2022 after four years together.

It came a year after she suffered serious burns when a viral social media stunt went wrong.

Monday’s opening episode of the new series of Love Island hosted by Maya Jama was seen by more than one million.

Walking into the villa Joey said he was “king of Essex” and “ready to find [his] queen”.

London model Uma Jammeh, 23, entered the villa last night after a kissing game.
