Love Island fans will get the chance to vote for the first bombshell to enter the villa in a show first.
The ITV2 show is returning for its winter edition in a few days and fans are already eager to meet the new contestants, with the first lot of hopefuls having been revealed already. However, as always with the popular show, there's a twist ahead and this series, viewers will get a chance to choose what bombshell they want to send into the villa for the first time.
Viewers can choose between 25-year-old Ellie Spence, a Business Development Executive at a law firm from Norwich, or Tom Clare, a 23-year-old semi-pro footballer from Barnsley, who will then enter the villa as a bombshell.

"I’ve been single for three years and the roster is pretty dry, it’s been dry for the last year, I don’t know what happened, it’s just not been a great time for me so I’m ready to find my husband," she said.

Until I have that, I’m not going to settle for less. Not in a bad way, but the next person I get with, I want to marry."
"I want to meet someone. It’s good going out and having a laugh but I miss sharing stuff. Life’s too short. These opportunities don’t come around often. I’m a good laugh, a good vibe. I’m not snakey, I don’t like that kind of stuff."
Ellie, meanwhile, thinks she's single because she falls out of love too quickly.

I could literally fall in love with a chair and then a week later be like, ‘Oh wait, no, that's a chair…’ I fall in love quickly because I build up a character of someone in my head and then they breathe in the wrong direction and I’m like, ‘Next!'" she said.
Tom added: "I might like someone quite fast, but I wouldn’t say I fall in love quickly."
