Along with Ryan Bannister, Bilikis is the latest bombshell brought in by producers to stir things up.
But it seems she may already have insider knowledge on the show, as she used to date a past Love Island hunk.
It has come to light that Bilikis, also known as Billykiss, used to date former Islander Dami Hope.
The hunk in trunks appeared on season 8 of the show, which aired in 2022.
Also entering the show as a bombshell, Dami immediately coupled up with Indiyah Polack - who is still his girlfriend to this today.
But before Indiyah, it's been reported that he dated new bombshell Bilikis.
It's also been revealed he had no idea that his ex was going on Love Island.
A source told the Daily Mail: "Bilikis and Dami have known each other for years after both growing up in Dublin.
"They dated a long time ago but still run a party business together so Dami not given a heads up on her villa entrance may not have gone down well.
"Their former fling is guaranteed to be discussed on Aftersun given Dami's girlfriend Indiyah is a regular panellist."
Love Island villa rocked as two hot new bombshells make surprise entrance
Dami and Indiyah have been going strong since they met on Love Island three ago, and are the only couple from that series who are still together.
SAVAGE TWIST
Meanwhile, earlier today The Sun exclusively revealed how tonight's Love Island will see two Islanders get dumped in another brutal Island vote.
The savage twist follows on from the arrival of Bilikis and Ryan and has left the OG Islanders reeling.
Last night saw the two bombshells arrive and go on dates with Dejon and Conor, as well as Shakira and Toni.
The Sun is keeping quiet on how the vote plays out - and who is sent packing - but the action will play out on tonight's show.
A source said: "Execs continue to throw twists and turns into the series and no one saw this one coming.
"The cast were reeling after this shock move and one ousted Islander in particular will be much missed.'

Emmerdale star 'engaged to convicted drug lord she secretly visits in prison'
Emmerdale actress, Lucy Pargeter, who has played Chas Dingle on the soap for years, is reportedly engaged to Elliott Walker, who is behind bars after pleading guilty to conspiracy to produce class B drugs Emmerdale star, Lucy Pargeter, is engaged to a convicted drug lord, who she visited in prison last week - according to reports. Lucy, 48, who has played Chas Dingle in the ITV soap for 23 years, is said to have made the 500-mile journey from her home in Yorkshire to HMP Hollesley Bay in Suffolk, where Elliott Walker is serving a six-year sentence. Walker, 54, was sentenced in December 2021 for his part in the creation of a giant drug production facility in Warwickshire after supplying equipment for what is believed to be Britain's biggest ever amphetamine factory. He is now said to be telling his fellow inmates that Lucy is his fiancée after some of the lags spotted the actress at the prison, when she was visiting. Talking to The Sun, a source said: 'Her [Lucy's] relationship has been the talk of the prison because some other visitors obviously recognised Lucy the other day as she's been on Emmerdale for ages. 'And Elliott has made no secret of telling other inmates she's his fiancée .' The outlet has also published a snap of the actress getting into her car, which it says was taken outside the Category D nick last week when she went to visit Walker. It is not known how and where Lucy met the felon, who is thought to be close to a release date. Lucy, who split from her former partner in 2019, revealed in a podcast in 2022 that she was in an 'exclusive new relationship', but gave no further details. However, last year, the mum of three, who has played the iconic Chas on Emmerdale for 23 years, shared an Instagram video post in which she was wearing a diamond engagement ring. Four years ago, Walker, from South East London, was locked up after admitting conspiracy to produce amphetamine. He bought equipment for the drugs lab in picturesque Henley-in-Arden, which was raided by the National Crime Agency. It was said to be capable of producing 400kg of amphetamine — with an estimated street value of £10millon — every month. Lucy, who has never married, shares daughter Lola, who was born in in 2005 and twins Betsy and Missy, who were born in 2017, with ex, Rudi Coleano. The pair did get engaged in 2019, but later confirmed their split, with a spokesperson saying at the time: "Lucy Pargeter has confirmed she has separated from her long term partner Rudi Coleano and while no longer together their main priority is raising their three daughters." The Mirror has approached Lucy's reps for comment on this story.

Jude Bellingham's new £7m DOUBLE pad includes ‘personal barbershop & trophy room' – but tiny village has a dark side
The England hero is building a pad for himself and one for his parents Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FOOTY star Jude Bellingham is building a luxury home in the same leafy village as THREE Premier League players – complete with his own trophy room and barbershop, it is claimed. The England and Real Madrid midfielder is also building a house next door for his parents in Barnt Green, near Birmingham - but there's a dark side to the village, The Sun can reveal. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 16 England and Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham is building his dream pad in the UK Credit: Getty 16 Barnt Green, near Birmingham, is home to several other football stars Credit: Roland Leon 16 Bellingham with his parents Denise and Mark, and brother Jobe Credit: Instagram His close neighbours include Aston Villa heroes Ollie Watkins and Matty Cash, who live in the same street while Man City star Jack Grealish lives just round the corner in an adjoining street. The exclusive Worcestershire village is fast beginning to rival Cheshire's Alderley Edge, where some oil the biggest names in football, including David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland have lived. But neighbours say there's a growing crime problem that they're blaming on the footy stars' presence, with one telling us he's had to have so much security installed his home looks like Fort Knox. Bellingham, who turned 22 last month, bought the two-acre plot in Barnt Green a year ago and building work on the two detached properties where he and his parents will live is almost complete. READ MORE NEWS BROTHERS GRIM Jobe Bellingham's painful reaction to finding out he won't face Jude at CWC Builders 'putting final touches' to homes Builders are putting the final touches to the brick and stone mansions and landscaping around the properties is due to begin later this summer. The properties are surrounded by other multimillion pound homes in the quiet tree-lined street less than a mile from the centre of Barn Green village. Although locals enjoy catching a glimpse of the superstar footballers, they say their arrival in the village, as well as numerous wealthy businessmen including Gym Shark founder Ben Francis and singer Jamelia, has led to an alarming spate of burglaries in recent months. One local said there is now a burglary almost every week in the area, including the theft of a luxury sports car from the driveway of one of Bellingham's neighbours late last month. The local, who asked not to be named, said: 'It is becoming a real problem now. There's a burglary almost every week , but the perpetrators are never caught. 'I've seen the burglars myself. I was walking along the street a few weeks ago and two men dressed in black and wearing balaclavas shot past me. Jude Bellingham reveals rivalry with brother Jobe at Club World Cup in cheeky interview "They were legging it at speed from one of the houses here that they's obviously been robbing from. One of them had like a thick postbag in his hand as they ran past. It was terrifying 'It is becoming such a regular thing here now but I don't understand why the cops aren't doing more to try and find the perpetrators. You never see a police car patrolling these streets around here. 'I've had to do a few things to increase our security arrangements at my house. I've got the latest alarms and CCTV and I've just bought two Rottweilers to help protect me. It's like Fort Knox at my place now and I fear it needs to be. 'Despite all of these recent burglaries, it is still a wonderful place to live. I've had to do a few things to increase our security arrangements at my house. I've got the latest alarms and CCTV and I've just bought two Rottweilers to help protect me. It's like Fort Knox at my place now and I fear it needs to be. Anonymous Barnt Green resident "There is a great sense of togetherness in the community and we have the best of everything. We're only a few miles from the centre of Birmingham, yet we live in this beautiful village in the countryside. 'I can certainly understand why these footballers want to live here too. 'However, I think the escalation in crime is a direct result of word going around that there are a lot of footballers and other high-value individuals living here." On the high street in Barnt Green, the football stars are regularly seen shopping and eating out at several upmarket market cafes and restaurants. 16 The new home reportedly includes a barbershop Credit: Instagram @thecamavingahouse 16 Butcher Warwick Savage used to sell sausages to Jack Grealish Credit: Roland Leon 16 David Clifford, manager of pizza restaurant Cofton, says he regularly serves celebs Credit: Roland Leon 16 Villa striker Watkins, in particular, is a regular at a pizza restaurant, Cofton on the Green, in the village. Owner David Clifford, 64, says Watkins likes to fire up his performances with pepperoni pizza. Mr Clifford said: 'Ollie is a regular customer and he is always friendly and very down-to-earth. He comes in with his family. Sometimes he'll eat in, or on the terrace outside, but often he'll grab a takeaway. 'He's always nice to the staff and happy to pose for a selfie with locals. He's just a great guy. 'We've also had Jack Grealish in a few times, but not so much since he moved to Man City. "Matty Cash is a another regular and, again, a lovely bloke. They are all heroes to people around here and we're super proud of them.' Across the road, at Warwick's butchers, owner Warwick Savage, 53, revealed that before he moved to Man City, the then-Aston Villa star Grealish used to visit his shop every week to buy dozens of local Lashford sausages. Mr Clifford, himself a Liverpool fan, said: 'Good old Jackie must have been living on the bloody things, he was buying so many. 'Not that I blame him – they're made in Birmingham and they're probably the best sausages in the world. If you haven't tried them already, you should. Everyone should. They are very meaty and there's no rubbish in them." Mr Savage also revealed he had been told by a source close to the building team hired to build Bellingham's properties that the Real Madrid star's new pad includes a trophy room and a barbershop-style room. Footballers' homes targeted by burglars High profile footballers have increasingly become targets for aggravated burglaries, in part down to when they'll be away easy to guess. Last December, Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish's Cheshire home was raided, with thieves stealing £1million in valuables while he was playing in a Premier League match. His partner Sasha Attwood and several family members were present. Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak's Northumberland home was also targeted last April, with thieves making off with £68,000 of jewellery and up to £10,000 cash. A court heard the player returned home around 10pm to find entry had been gained by smashing a glass door from the back of the property to the TV room. Isak's Brazilian teammate Joelinton's home has been broken into twice last year. He put out a statement on social media in November saying: "To anyone considering doing this: Please know that there is nothing valuable left!" His post came just a day after he shared several snaps of his family on holiday in Dubai. In 2022, former Arsenal and Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's £3.5million mansion in Cheshire - which he shares with Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards - was raided while the couple and their baby were upstairs. The thieves cleared out jewellery and designer handbags. Sources said the raid has left them 'terrified' for their safety and 'heartbroken' over the haul taken. Geraint Jones, director of HNW private clients at Broadway Insurance, previously told the Insurance Times: 'High profile people, be it footballers or others in the public eye, are becoming more of a target. 'A lot of this comes back to how these individuals run their lives, particularly with regard to social media and the security they take on board.' Mr Savage said: 'He's even had a huge display cabinet built for all his trophies and medals. 'The idea of the barbershop is that he and his mates can hire a personal barber to go round and cut their hair. "Apparently, it's just like a high quality barbershop you'd find in the smartest streets. 'I also see Ollie Watkins parking up his black Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon outside his butcher shop, but sadly he's not come in here yet.' As previously reported, the new build will boast a basement area with a cinema, swimming pool, sauna and gym and an entertainment area complete with a bar. There will be a living space upstairs which includes a large kitchen, five ensuite bedrooms, two lounges and a snug. Meanwhile, a second, similarly designed five-bed property is being built by the same developer on the spot where the former house stood. Bellingham's development is reported to be worth a whopping £7million in total, reports MailOnline. Alan Mehan, 38, runs a Mediterranean restaurant, Cork and Crust, where several footballers, including Watkins and Cash are regular customers. He also runs an off licence opposite selling Havana cigars and £895-a-bottle Krug champagne, but adds the players never touch either. 16 Fergus Barlow works at the local off licence Credit: Roland Leon 16 Grealish was a regular in the village before his move to Man City Credit: Getty 16 Three Lions hero Ollie Watkins is also a neighbour Credit: PA 'They don't drink, from what I can see, but they often come to the restaurant with their families for a meal. 'Even though I'm a Wolves fan, they are always super-friendly to me and my staff. I'm always happy to see them because they are lovely people. 'They've always got time for the staff and they'll pose for photographs with them, as well as other customers.' His colleague, manager Fergus Barlow, 28, added: 'And when they've finished their meals, they'll always put their heads through the kitchen door and thank the chefs and pot washers. They've got good manners. 'Often, a few hours before they come in, they'll phone up to check we've got the kind of food they eat, which is usually lean meat and fish with pasta. 'They like their vegetables too. They look after their bodies and they are particular about what they eat because they have to stay healthy and they need good quality protein in their diet. 'They're just regular guys who have done well for themselves, but they have no airs and graces. "They're just decent people and we are always happy to see them here. They've got time for everybody but they know they can come here and not get too much hassle from the general public." 'No wonder footballers want to live here' Staff at local estate agents Oulsnam say Barnt Green is popular because of its rural vibe in a village just eight miles from Britain's second city, Birmingham. Prices for detached homes on their books range from £500 to £4m, while smart semis start at £400,000. The cheapest property they have for sale currently is a £165,000 two-be retirement apartment. A spokesperson for the agency said: 'This is a wonderful area. You've got every amenity you could wish for and good schools, state and private, nearby. 'There's even a sailing club here, as well as a good cricket club. There are exquisite cafes, bars and restaurants, independent shops and a country park right on the doorstep. "No wonder these footballers want to live here.' The Sun has approached Bellingham's reps for comment. Do you know more?

A Place in the Sun's Laura Hamilton, 43, reveals secret behind incredible figure from 5am workouts to Botox
Despite the pressures of being on screen, Laura believes looking good should be a personal choice Body Goals A Place in the Sun's Laura Hamilton, 43, reveals secret behind incredible figure from 5am workouts to Botox A PLACE in the Sun's Laura Hamilton has revealed the secret behind her incredible figure, from 5am workouts to Botox. Presenter Laura, 43, says early-morning gym sessions and weight training are now a regular part of her routine – and she's even built a gym in her home to stay on track. 6 A Place in the Sun's Laura Hamilton has revealed the secret behind her incredible figure, from 5am workouts to Botox Credit: @curvykate 6 She spoke to The Sun at last week's TRIC Awards Credit: Splash Speaking to The Sun at last week's TRIC Awards, she said: 'I was in the gym yesterday and I do lots of weights. I know loads of women in their mid-forties who are always talking about weights massively. "I was always into cardio, but since I ran the London Marathon, I've got more into weights.' Laura, who shares son Rocco, 11, and daughter Tahlia, 10, with her ex-husband Alex Goward, often squeezes in workouts before the school run. She said: 'I sometimes get up at 5am to do so. My friends and I joke that we're in the 5am club. I don't do it every day, but most mornings.' As she's moved into her forties, Laura says she's become more conscious about skincare and wellness – taking collagen and learning routines from her 10-year-old daughter. The TV personality said: 'She's so into skincare – I take tips off her, because I was never like that as a teenager.' Channel 4 star Laura also confirmed she has had cosmetic tweakments, admitting: 'Oh absolutely. I've had Botox before, and there's lots of people who do it, so whatever suits you. If you want to do something, then do it for you.' And despite the pressures of being on screen, Laura believes looking good should be a personal choice. She gushed: 'I love watching things on Instagram where you'll see someone who has had work done, and someone who hasn't. Whether you're on television or not, it's completely up to you.'

Laura explained at the time how she was sent a photo of one of her followers in a face mask, adding: "But let's just say it wasn't of their face."
