Love Island’s Casa Amor bombshells are REVEALED: Irish influencer Charlene Murphy among 12 new sexy singletons set to shake up the villa
Love Island’s Casa Amor bombshells were revealed ahead of their dramatic entrance to shake things up in the villa – with the show’s big surprise revealed at the end of Friday night’s episode.
Each year a separate villa is added to the format and girls and boys are separated; There are six other sexy singles to meet in each group.
After a few days, each Islander will choose to stay with their current couple or choose a new person to chat with.
This year, Irish phenom Charlene Murphy was named one of the Casa Amor girls after rumors spread that she would be in the first cast.
The 27-year-old content creator from Dublin joins nursery manager Mara, 25, from Luton, personal shopper Martha, 25, from London, and marketing coordinator Olivia, 23, from Doncaster.
Rounding out the girls’ line-up are Nevaeh, 22, a student nurse from Gloucester, and Julia, 26, an insurance broker from London.

When asked who she was spying on in the villa, Charlene said: ‘There’s four of them, I’m being greedy! I would say Kavan, Aidan, Lorenzo and Sean. There are bits of my type in each of them, but I think I need to see that and have a proper conversation with them.
I can say that ‘Kavan’ is my real type on paper. I’m excited to meet them all. I think everyone owes it to themselves to see different connections, and if something isn’t working, maybe it’s time to move on to the next one or explore something.
I think Kavan did the right thing by not shutting down his relationship with Jasmine so soon because I think you need to explore there to see if there’s someone better for you, which is the whole point of Love Island. I think his head could definitely spin!’
About his type, he added: ‘My type is tall and kind-eyed. This is my job. Definitely someone’s vibe is really important to me, like I’ll see a picture of someone and think he’s not real, but if he’s not a nice guy or fun then I don’t like him. I need personality.
‘I need someone who is funny and doesn’t take himself too seriously because I don’t! I think it would be very depressing if he didn’t laugh at himself and life, that’s really important. Someone who is both a best friend and a partner is my type.’
Martha also revealed her type: ‘I always say tall, dark and handsome. But all my exes in the past looked very different.
‘So I think it’s more about personality; Someone who can make you laugh and give you excitement.’
The Casa men include 23-year-old Tommy from Essex, who is an event host and semi-professional footballer.

‘Do you know when someone attracts you? That kind of thing.’
Elsewhere, Will was asked whose eye he had and said: ‘It depends. Looks are one thing, but how we get along, how we feel and our chemistry can always change.’
