Love Island loves to surprise viewers with new contestants, but this time they really shocked everyone by bringing in a sibling of someone already on the show – and it happened really early in the season!
Kavan Murphy recently joined the show’s villa after going on a date with Ellie Chadwick. Ellie had been eliminated the previous night, but was given another opportunity to stay after connecting with Kavan.
If you’ve been keeping up with the story, you’ll remember Ellie used to be with Kavan’s brother, Aidan. Now, she’s with Kavan, which is likely to cause tension between the brothers.
