Two new "bombshell" contestants have arrived at the Love Island villa in Majorca. Afia Tonkmor and Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu joined the existing islanders at the end of Wednesday's episode of the ITV dating programme.
Their arrival comes after the show's first bombshell, Davide, upset the initial dynamics by recoupling with Gemma. The move left Liam single and at risk of being dumped from the villa.
Viewers were tasked with choosing who Afia and Ekin-Su took on their first dates. They voted for Liam to join both Afia and Ekin-Su on separate dates, which will be aired on Thursday night.

Reacting to the new contestants' arrival on social media, fans were quick to comment on how the public voted. Abbey said: "Why did no one vote Davide and cause drama."
Ayoka posted: "Liam has got Two Dates. Did you see Gemma’s face." While Katie commented: "So happy for Liam."
But some viewers thought the rest of the episode was pretty dull. Preeti said: "So they give us the driest episode and then end it as soon as it’s getting interesting."
Afia, 25, is from London and works as a lounge host at a private members' club. She says she is at an age when she wants to "start taking dating seriously" and find her "Mr Right".
Asked why she signed up for Love Island, she said: "It just seems like a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet someone, have an amazing summer, just have so much fun and have a bit of a summer romance as well."
Describing herself as "fun and bubbly", Afia considers herself a "big catch". She says she falls in love "too quickly" but has never met someone who she wants to be with long-term.
