Irish Love Island stunner exposed as Miss Bikini Ireland in Casa Amor twist
As the episode drew to a close on Friday night, six girls walked onto the terrace, leaving the boys - and the original girls, who were still in the villa - utterly gobsmacked.
Now, the identities of the bombshell beauties heading into the spin-off villa have been revealed, and one of them is a former Miss Bikini Ireland winner. Another one of them already has a connection to Harry.
The show's official Instagram page has been teasing the Casa Amor arrivals, asking: "Amor the merrier... who's ready for Casa Amor?" And we can now bring you the full line-up of girls.
Andrada Pop
Age: 27.
Job: Personal Trainer.
Lives: Dublin.
Andrada is no stranger to the limelight, having won Miss Bikini Ireland in 2019 and Miss Swimsuit UK in 2025. Now heading into the Casa Amor villa, she's confident that her 'bold' personality will turn heads.
She revealed: "I do want to get what I want, but I also want to find love, so hopefully the person that I do manage to get on with I can build a nice connection with. I want to find 'the one.' I'm going to come in with a little bit of spice for sure."
Yasmin Broom
Age: 26
Job: DJ
Lives: Manchester
You might recognise her from her stint on The X Factor, where she was part of girl group Four of Diamonds. The group found fame in 2016 and went on to sign with a record label two years later.
Now, Yaz is entering the Casa Amor villa with no game plan, but she's already got her eye on Harrison, Tommy, and Conor. And she's not afraid to stir up some drama, admitting: "I don't feel bad about turning someone's head because at the end of the day, I'm in there for myself and I want to find a genuine connection."
Rheo Parnell
Job: Ring Girl
Lives: Nuneaton
It turns out that Rheo already got a Love Island connection - she's close pals with Messy Mitch's girlfriend, South African TikTok star H. Hayley Griffin
The newcomer has her sights firmly set on Harrison. Speaking about the 22 year old footballer, she said: "He's cheeky and has a bit about him. I've noticed that he likes a bit of role play, which is interesting. He keeps getting people to get up and act stuff out which is so jokes. I like his imagination."
Lucy Quinn
Age: 21.
Job: Makeup Artist.
Lives: Liverpool.
Liverpool-based makeup artist Lucy is hoping to sway Tommy's attention away from fellow islander Emily. Speaking about the original boy, she said: "I think he's just a lovely lad and he's got good morals. I've been watching at home with my mum and dad. My dad said 'I think you should pick him.' So I want to listen to my dad on that one."
The 21 year old confessed that she's not concerned about ruffling any feathers as she's not entered the villa to make pals.
Lucy also has a semi-famous relative, former X Factor star Ray Quinn, who came second place on the show in 2006 behind Leona Lewis.
Lauren Wood
Age: 26.
Job: Dog Walker.
Lives: York.
Harrison seems to be a hit among the new arrivals as Lauren also has her eyes on him, describing the 22 year old as "so my type".
The 26 year old dog walker describes herself as a bubbly individual who's fun to be around and doesn't take herself too seriously.
Emma Munro
Age: 30
Job: Hydrogeologist
Lives: Norwich
Love Island's OG Harry was left speechless when his ex Emma entered the villa on Friday night.
Upon seeing them, Harry could be heard saying: "Oh my god, it's my ex." Despite having a strong connection with Harry, Emma has said that she wants to explore connections with all the boys but she does have her top picks in mind. However, she's still open-minded and willing to meet them all.
Love Island continues on Sunday night at 9pm on Virgin Media.

Grandmacore: Why Gen Z is embracing old-fashioned slow hobbies
Knitting, crocheting, gardening, baking. All these pastimes have been labelled 'grandma hobbies' on social media. Maybe 20 years ago, you may have associated knitting with an elderly woman in a rocking chair, but that image has had an upgrade. Gen Z is embracing these slow hobbies, and gaining some much-needed zen in the process. The uptick in younger people taking up these grandma hobbies coincides with a rise in grandma-core videos on TikTok and Instagram. Grandmacore is all about a feeling of cosiness, nostalgia, comfort, and it's become somewhat of a viral trend on social media. Under the grandmacore hashtag on TikTok, there are over 50,000 posts showcasing everything from funky crochet cardigans to nifty embroidery. 'Social media is making these hobbies a lot trendier. You'll see patterns or techniques that are things you would actually use instead of relying on older patterns that might be lying around in an old magazine,' says 21-year-old Jane Cowen. Jane Cowan, getting ready to make some bread. Photograph Moya Nolan Jane writes the Diary of a Gen Z Student for the Irish Examiner every Friday, and learned to knit as a child and took it up again more recently. Twenty-two-year-old Holly Browne has amassed several grandma hobbies. Knitting, crocheting, dream-catcher making, gardening, baking, reading, and pottery are all in her wheelhouse. 'I started all of my craft endeavours during covid. One of my friends taught me how to crochet during lockdown; she actually taught me to crochet wrong, but it worked out for me, and I'm still using her technique today. I make things like baby blankets, doilies, tops, and I made a cardigan once.' Holly finds her crafting hobbies relaxing: 'I'd say I'm a very solitary person. I have a great family and a large group of friends but I really enjoy a hobby that I can do by myself. 'The most mindful time I get is either when I'm crocheting, knitting or cooking. I'm engaged with something, and I can't really divide my attention, especially when I'm doing something quite difficult or I'm watching my stitches. So I'm completely focused on what I'm doing. And, it means that I'm not on my phone as often, which means I find that I can sleep at a normal time.' Holly Browne working on a multicoloured blanket. Photograph Moya Nolan. With grandma hobbies, you're using your hands and concentrating. It's difficult to use your phone when your hands are occupied, a definite plus for Jane: 'Knitting is something to do in the evening that's not doom-scrolling on my phone. I really enjoy it. I find it quite relaxing to concentrate on something like that. 'If you want to break the habit of being on your phone, you need to replace it with something that you enjoy, and that's what I do with knitting, reading, or baking. They're a mindful and relaxing alternative to scrolling through Instagram.' Chartered clinical psychologist and certified mindfulness trainer Sheena Burke says these grandma hobbies 'tick all the boxes' of Martin Seligman's PERMA model, which outlines five elements of wellbeing. 'Doing these hobbies releases positive emotions, like an interest or a kind of curiosity, that's associated with flourishing in life or feeling fulfilled. They also encourage engagement; you're creating something and that's the perfect combination of challenge and also skill. You have to have the skill to match that challenge, and that feels really good.' Having a hobby where you're producing something at the end, whether that's a bagel or a baby blanket, also means people feel fulfilled, explains Sheena: 'It can give people a sense of meaning or purpose, and that accomplishment is less about maybe external feedback, and more about the internal sense of completion and confidence.'

'I made a baby blanket for one of my cousins when they were born. It was very difficult to do; it was the first time I used my own creative direction, instead of following a pattern. I was really proud of how it turned out.' For Jane, who had a dough resting for homemade bagels while we chatted, she enjoys the process of making things from scratch. 'I find that really fun. I will enjoy eating that bagel so much because I know the work I put into it.' Jane has been knitting and baking since she was a child. One of my mother's favourite quotes from my childhood is me saying 'I forgot how relaxing baking is'. I was about six years old, making muffins. I still feel that way today.' That's because these slow hobbies are relaxing, they calm the brain because you are completely focused on what you're doing, explains Sheena. 'When we're focused on something, we have that sense of mind and body being in the one place, and there is a natural ease and the brain really likes that, because it quietens down. 'With these hobbies, we have that sense of mindfulness, and because there's a skill involved, your mind can't be elsewhere, you have to focus. This means your mind doesn't wander to the default mode network, where your brain is looking for a problem to solve.' Jane Cowan getting ready to knead some dough. Photograph Moya Nolan Knitting, crochet, sewing, and baking, all crafty hobbies, but for Jane, they're more than just a way to relax. 'They're life skills, skills that we've kind of lost. We associate them with our granny because they're the last generation that really knows how to do all of those things. I like the fact that if a button falls off my cardigan, I can sew it back on. These are skills that are actually really useful to have.'
