Love Island fans were left on a cliffhanger when it was revealed that bombshell Arabella Chi from season five would be joining the All-Star cast.

The 32-year-old model had an unsuccessful first time around in the villa and will surely be stirring trouble for the girls this time as she makes her entrance onto the spin-off show.

News of her announcement arrived during the islanders' punk party, when the boys received a text with an invitation to Arabella's afterparty at the hideaway terrace.

Although she left the villa in 2019 having made a connection with Danny Williams, he quickly moved on with fellow contestant Jourdan.

Since then, Arabella has been spotted partying it up in Hollywood with the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, but most recently has split from Portuguese footballer Ruben Dias.

The two were attempting to keep their romance low-key as it was still 'early days,' and were last seen ringing in the New Year together. However, it was later reported that Ruben had 'dumped' the blonde beauty shortly after they returned from their trip.

It looks like Arabella is now on a new mission to find love, and appeared on last night's show saying, 'I've been fortunate enough to be able to hang out in Hollywood circles but I still have not found love.'

'I might have recently of come out of a relationship but I'm ready to meet the man of my dreams so get me back in that villa!'

Here's hoping Mr. Right is somewhere in the villa this time around!
