    His identity, like that of all prospective housemates, remains a mystery.
    But it is reported he is in his 20s and is not a native of Ireland.
    It’s also believed that his club won’t comment on his participation until he makes his villa bow.
    The first episode of the latest series of the high-profile dating programme aired on Monday night.

    It proved to be the show’s most dramatic launch yet as two couples opted to split on night one.
    Host Maya Jama made a shock re-appearance in the Majorcan villa to drop a bombshell that shook the singletons to their core.
    Despite only having had a few hours to connect, Maya was already offering a way out to some of the girls who did not feel they were in the right romantic pairing.
    Maya asked them to step forward if they did not feel entirely happy in their newly formed couples.

    In a shock move, Ruchee Gurang, 24, and Jess Harding, 22, decided to walk away from their pairs – causing shockwaves and one boy on the brink of tears.
    It led to the ending of Ruchee and Mehdi and Jess and George.
    Whilst Mehdi insisted he was expecting the pairing to come to an end due to a lack of connection, it appeared that George, 24, was left stunned by Jess’ decision.

    The Bedford based lad appeared to let the tears flow as a tear could be seen rolling down his cheek after busty Jess decided to take a chance on the show’s new bombshell entry.
    In a bid to shake-up the couples, Zachariah Noble, 25, arrived in a bid to turn the heads of the ladies.
    Ahead of stepping foot into the villa, Zachariah confessed he was sad to be leaving his ‘son’ behind.
    The 25-year-old hunk spilled the beans on being a ‘dad’ as he prepared to stir up the drama on the ITV2 show.
    Zachariah’s ‘son’ is actually his beloved pet cat Frank and he has told of his sadness at being parted from him – potentially for weeks. More

      TOMMY FURY has given fans a sneak peak into his training camp where he gorged on a huge 900-calorie breakfast.The 22-year-old posted a vlog on his new YouTube channel which showed the build-up to his fight against Anthony Taylor last month in Ohio.

      Fury outpointed the American light-heavyweight on his US debut as he extended his perfect record to 7-0.
      And while stateside in August, Fury showed just what he has been tucking into for breakfast ahead of his gruelling training sessions.
      The big, healthy meal consisted of steak (360 calories), three poached eggs (213 cal), two slices of toast (150 cal), avocado (160 cal), mushrooms (10 cal) and asparagus (12 cal).
      That works to 905 calories – more than twice the recommended intake for adults to consume at breakfast.
      But the super-fit Fury, who weighed in at 12st 7lbs for his contest with Taylor, had no trouble in polishing the meal off.
      Concluding his vlog after his points victory, TNT said: “OK guys, so fight night is done, we got the victory, that is all that matters.

      BETTING SPECIAL – GET JOSHUA TO WIN IN ROUNDS 1-6 AT 60/1 OR ANYTIME AT 25/1
      “I’m my own worst critic, it wasn’t the best performance that I could have delivered, but we got the win and that’s what I came over here for.
      “The reception was incredible, I felt like I was walking out in my hometown Manchester, everything about last night was just surreal.
      “I’m a bit tired now as we did have kind of a late night, we ate a lot of pizza, we had a few drinks, we had a good night.

      “But listen, this week, this vlog, everything about this fight in particular, the build-up has been amazing.
      “My American debut was everything and more I ever thought it was going to be.”
      A fight against Jake Paul could be next, but Fury has rejected two offers from the Problem Child, the last of which was worth $1million.

      Simpson is currently without a club but signed for Wolves in 2015 where he went out on loan with clubs such as Portsmouth, AFC Telford and Kilmarnock.
      In 2019 he made the move across the water, joining the Blues from Wolves on a permanent deal until the end of the season under manager Alan Reynolds.
      He made eight appearances for the club before moving to Dover Athletic later that year.
      Upon making the move to the RSC he said: “I’ve been training for the last two weeks so it’s great to get signed up now. I’ve enjoyed the training so far and I’m looking forward to playing some games now.

      “I’ve settled in really quickly and that’s made it all easier for me, and Alan Reynolds and the coaches have been great to me since I’ve come in.
      “I haven’t played much recently but I’ve been training really hard, first with Joe Gamble and I feel fit and everybody just wants to play games.
      “I was a bit sceptical coming over, of course, I’d never even been in Ireland, but once I got here and saw the professionalism of how things are run, the lads and the staff were great and I got a good vibe from it here and that’s why I wanted to stay.
      “Coming to Ireland, I wasn’t really too sure about what the standard would be and that but we’ve got great players here, a really good mixture with some really experienced guys and a lot of good young players too and I can’t wait to learn from the likes of Damien Delaney and I think we can do really well this season.”
      BETTING OFFERS: FREE BETS AND BEST NEW CUSTOMER DEALS
      Simpson made his debut on the TV show on Monday night and says he’s happy to tell the boys he’s ready to ‘steal their girl’.
      He said: “I’m going to bring fun, good energy and positive vibes. I think a couple of the girls’ heads will be turning when I go in there.
      “I feel like with my personality I won’t [graft] behind your back. I’ll openly tell you I’m about to steal your girl. That doesn’t really phase me at all. As long as I’m not doing anything snakey or behind your back, I don’t really see the problem.”
      However Simpson drew criticism from Love Island fans after he told Chloe she was ‘past her prime’ after being set up on a date with her.

      The two fighters are expected to exchange words on August 29 when Fury fights American Anthony Taylor on Paul’s undercard.
      Paul’s bout with UFC icon Tyron Woodley is the headline event in Cleveland and the YouTuber’s fourth professional boxing match.
      Paul and Fury are predicted to win their respective fights and set up a huge celebrity clash in the near future.
      Discussing a potential bout with Fury, Paul told Sky Sports: “He comes from a legendary family name and background and the social media.
      “I don’t really know how he got famous. I think he did reality shows.
      “It could potentially lead to a path where you see Jake Paul versus Tommy Fury.”
      PAUL V FURY
      The two fighters have been exchanging words since Paul shared a ‘screenshot’ of an alleged message from Fury’s girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague.
      The alleged Instagram message from October 2018 reads: “Might be coming to America later this year and have always been a fan of your videos.
      “Maybe you can show me around?”
      Molly-Mae denied the message, tweeting: “Times must be hard when you’re having to fake a DM… Photoshop is scary.”
      Fury and Molly-Mae started their relationship after meeting on the 2019 series of hit reality TV show Love Island.
      TOMMY FURY-OUS
      The British boxer, brother of heavyweight champ Tyson Fury, was not impressed with Paul dragging his girlfriend into their war of words.
      He told Sky Sports: “I’m thick-skinned. I’m a professional athlete.
      “These boys ain’t. These boys play games on the internet and run around for a living.
      “I fight hard for a living. I will let my fists do the talking. For every bad thing he has said, he will get a swift right hand for it.
      “I will break every bone in his face. You don’t bring people’s loved ones into it. It’s a fight. It’s nothing to do with them, leave them out of it.”
      But Paul isn’t concerned, adding: “It sounds like someone handed him a script for him to read off, ‘I’m going to break every bone in his face!’
      “He’s got nothing real to say – ‘You crossed the line, buddy!’ This isn’t sixth grade. This is the fight business, this is the boxing business.

      “He boxes because he was told to do so by his dad. He doesn’t have that real heart, that real fighter inside of him.
      “He is doing this because it’s something his brother did. It’s something his dad did and he sees it as a way to make some money.
      “If we ever get into the ring, I’m going to expose him… I’m the real deal and people will see that.”

      In the meantime football fans have been feasting their eyes on Euro 2020, with Olympic football set to start this week too.
      But fans may also be distracting themselves with healthy doses of Love Island, which returned to screens this summer, as it features Connolly’s ex-girlfriend Lucinda Strafford.
      Who is Aaaron Connolly and who does he play for?
      Born on January 28, 2000 in Galway, Ireland, Connolly started playing football at the age of five for Oranmore FC.
      Connolly currently plays for Brighton & Hove Albion FC, who finished 16th in the Premier League last year.

      The 21-year-old plays as a forward, and made his name by scoring a brilliant brace against Big Six side Tottenham in a Premier League game back in the 2019/20 season.
      In 2019, Connolly also spent some time out on loan with Luton Town, but made just two appearances for the side.
      He’s represented his country, the Republic of Ireland, on six occasions, but has yet to score.
      How long was Aaron Connolly with Lucinda Strafford?
      Connolly and Lucinda Strafford, who is a contestant on this summer’s edition of Love Island, are said to have been together for two years before splitting during lockdown last year.
      It’s been reported the pair called things off after Connolly was caught cheating on Strafford.
      The Sun exclusively revealed on Sunday, however, that Strafford and Connolly are actually back together, despite her being on the show.

      A source said: “Lucinda and Aaron reconciled before she went on Love Island.
      “It was meant to be a big secret because there are strict rules about it.
      “Aaron was only too happy looking after Lucinda’s dog. It makes him feel like they are still the couple they are.”
      Who is Lucida Strafford?
      Lucinda is 21 years old and hails from Brighton.
      She is an online fashion boutique owner.
      Lucinda used to work as cabin crew and in this role she has met her fair share of famous faces including Dannii Minogue, Usain Bolt and Nick Grimshaw.
