Love Island aired a shocking twist tonight - as bombshell Tyler Cruickshank entered the villa.
The ITV2 show has been bringing all the drama since its special All Stars return - with Jake Cornish leaving within a few days after being reunited with ex Liberty Poole. But could Kaz be heading the same way after her ex Tyler walked into the villa tonight?
Newbie Arabella Chi was tasked by host Maya Jama with choosing who she wanted to steal. However, before she did - one more boy arrived, leaving all the villa stunned. Maya told her: "Arabella, you now have a very important decision to make. You can now steal anyone of the boys in front of you…but, before you steal, let’s add one more bombshell into the mix."
Tyler is heading back into the villaTyler and Kaz were in the 2021 series of Love Island, and whilst they made it all the way to the final, the pair split up a few months later, citing their split because of the "adjustment to being in the public eye".
Speaking about her split at the time, Kaz said: "I'm single now. I was in a relationship the last time I was on this channel. And being single, in itself, that's not an issue. That's fine. What is really hard is Twitter. Oh my gosh, that place."

Acknowledging that "everyone" has their opinions, Kaz continued: "I get it, I get it. On one hand, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, that's fine, and a lot of people saw things that I didn't see at the time.
"I was very naïve, and it's okay. It's fine. You know what? I learned so much from that break up and period of time. At the end of the day, some relationships work and some relationships just don't, and this one just didn't."
Kaz insisted she was always "herself" in the relationship but didn't feel it had been fully appreciated by her ex.
"I was never faking it. I never acted up... I was very myself and I was how I'd be in any other relationship. I don't think I was fully appreciated, but that's just life. Sometimes that happens, and that's okay," she said.
Following the show, Tyler has headed back to study law. He said back in 2023 of his career plans and turning his back on showbiz: "Life has been good, I’m still doing my thing but in the background I’m doing law now. My exam is in January and my long term plan is to open up my own practice. I’m still very much in TV but in the background I’ve got my law career going on."
