BOMBSHELL Malissa Nicol is set to cause a stir in the villa.
And she is said to have already dated a former Love Island contestant.
Who is Love Island's Mal Nicol?
Originally from Edinburgh, Mal is a 25-year-old picture researcher, who now lives in London.
But she is swapping the office for life as a reality star on Love Island 2023.
Speaking to ITV about deciding to go on the show, she said: “Since I moved to London, having the balance of seeing friends, work and gym, it’s really difficult to date at the same time. It’s quite exhausting to date in the real world.

“When you strip it back to no distractions or social situations your pure focus is on people. I'm intrigued to find a connection.”
When asked what kind of bombshell she'll be, the brunette beauty replied: “I don’t have a game plan and I have never been one to be smooth with flirting. I know I can’t flirt, I can’t dance and I can’t sing, but I can guarantee I’ll be able to laugh them into my bed.
“I’ve never been a flirtatious person but my energy is quite endearing and cute.
“I think boys think I am quite sexy but because I’m goofy, I come across as sweet and innocent.
“I know I won’t have to go for them - they’ll probably come for me.”

Mal is very active on social media and has over 6,100 followers as of June 2023.
You can find her account under the username @mallurpaal
