Love Island’s first bombshell of series 12 is history maker
The ITV2 show is one of the highlights of the British summer - but it is about to get a serving of American Pie. Despite the reality series sparking plenty of spin-offs - including Love Island: USA - it has tended to stick to recruiting islanders from the UK.
However to start off series 12 tonight (June 9), a bombshell from across the pond is set to enter the Mallorcan villa. Toni, 24, is swapping Las Vegas for the sunshine of Spain.

Addressing why she had signed up for the British version of the Love Island, Toni said: “I’ve lived in three different states and I’m still single. It’s time to try something new!
“I have some British friends and they’re pretty charming. I think all Americans love a good accent. British men are just more polite, with better manners.”
She told ITV that she is looking for: “Someone that can make me laugh - I’m super outgoing. And someone that’s quite active. Maybe one day we could start our own family together.”

Love Island bombshell to get incredible power straight away
After the newly coupled up Islanders spend a bit of time getting to know one another, later in the evening, Maya makes a shock return to the Villa with some huge news. Gathering everyone at the firepit, she reveals the day isn’t over yet and someone new is already on their way.
Suddenly, the series’ first bombshell Toni makes a dramatic entrance into the Villa. The Islanders are quick to realise she’s come all the way from the US as Toni teasingly says: “Good evening UK! Surprise!”
The Islanders can’t believe there’s an American bombshell and there’s clearly some excitement amongst the boys… and some concerns for the girls. Maya then drops some more big news: not only has Toni just arrived all the way from the States, but she is also going to immediately steal one of the boys.
