Love Island's iconic Casa Amor twist is finally set to kick off on Sunday, and this year's hunky male bombshells have been revealed.
In a series first, not one couple have declared themselves closed off after four weeks of tears, twists and drama, meaning it's all to play for as the boys head prepare to turn the girls' heads.
As they make their way into the main villa, it seems that many have set their sights on a newly-single Shakira, after Harry decided to U-turn and recouple with Helena.
It was a move that sparked fury among fans, as Helena gushed to Meg she was 'back,' while an upset Shakira was consoled by her pal Toni.
It seems that Shakira will have men lining up to date her, with the first hunk revealed as Chris, 29, a commercial real estate manager from Manchester.
He said: 'I'm physically most interested in Shakira, she's had a bit of a rough time so I think I could go in and make a difference for her.
'I like Emily and Yasmin as well, Yasmin has quite an interesting personality, we'd be quite funny together. Emily is very attractive and seems to be very sweet personality wise.'
Sharing his game plan to land himself a partner, he added: 'I'm feeling very excited to get involved, there's been a lot of drama in that villa. It feels like it's all to play for!
'I'm looking forward to having time and space to make connections with people, without distractions.'
Up next is Ty, 23, a site engineer from Barnsley, who said he might be the man to finally tame Helena's wild ways.
He said: ' I've got my eyes on Shakira - she needs a Northern lad in there, our personalities would be the most matched I think.
'Emily seems like a really sweet girl, someone you could take home to your parents. Helena is really good looking but she needs taming! I reckon I'm the man for the job.'
For Martin, 23, a graduate from London, he hopes to be the man who can reassure Shakira after she'd been 'messed about' by Harry in the villa.
He said: 'I've got my eyes on Shakira, I've had my eyes on her from the start. For her to blossom, she needs someone who knows what they're doing, not someone who is messing her around.
'I like that she's after emotional intelligence and stimulating conversation. I think Yasmin is hilarious, she's got a fiery personality, outgoing, I like how she says what she wants, when she wants…and she has great posture!'
For Jamie, 26, an electric engineer from Barking, there are three particular beauties who have caught his eye: 'Yasmin, Shakira and Toni.'
Up next is Cach, 24, a dancer from east London, who admitted he feels some couples have played it 'too safe' in the villa.
He said: 'Everyone is being a bit safe and settling with what's in front of them. Harry is doing it in the right way which is why he's getting into a lot of trouble!'
Rounding out this year's Casa Amor bombshells is Boris, 28, a model who is originally from Ljubljana, but now lives in Dubai.
He said: 'I'm super attracted to Shakira, I think she's got a great personality and seems like a good girl.
'I'm sure we'd get along well and have a good time together, but I need to see in person, it's all about energy.'
Shakira finally called things off with Harry after he snuck off for a chat with his ex and plotted how to rekindle things without telling his current partner.
Shakira was left devastated by the turn of events and cooled things off with Harry, and he wasted no time in cracking on with Helena, 29, again.
They both excitedly declared 'we're back' just moments after the break-up, and the next day, snuck off to the Hideaway together.
Harry and Helena packed on the PDA as they enjoyed a dip in the hot tub, putting on a very amorous display as they proved their romance was back on track.
In a surprise recoupling, Harry then picked Helena and made a very gushing speech about his affections, despite spending days denying their connection to Shakira.
He said: 'There is something undeniable, which I'm starting to believe. We seem to have found our way back to each other, as we always do.'
Shakira then ended up back in a couple with her ex Ben Holbrough, who left the Islanders open-mouthed with his awkward speech.
'I'm just going to have to choose one,' he said of the remaining girls - referencing his lack of a romantic spark in the villa as his fellow Islanders looked stunned.
However, after the dramatic Casa Amor twist, it remains to be seen whether the arrival of Harry's ex-girlfriend will test his affections towards Helena, as it's been revealed she will be one of the new girls waiting for the boys in the other villa.
Emma wastes no time in lambasting Harry for his behaviour, branding both him and Helena 'snakes.'
Love Island continues on Monday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
