While the winter days get colder for us in the UK, things are certainly heating up in the Love Island All Stars villa with the arrival of two new bombshells.
Following the entrance of Ron Hall and Grace Jackson, the villa has been thrown into chaos once more with the arrival of Harriett Blackmore and Montel McKenzie, all of whom are after love.
"I think people thought I was a bit boring or not that talkative, but there was just no drama for me," Montel said of his first time in the villa, adding: "Some people like to talk up when there’s loads of people in the room to be the loudest. I’m not going to compete with someone and speak the loudest. I’m just chill."
