Love Island is just a couple of weeks away and we've got another rumoured cast member for you.
Dublin woman, Lucy Plunkett, is said to be entering the villa this June. The northern Irish capital seems to be something of a hot-spot for Irish beauties looking for love. Former Love Island contestants Maura Higgins and Yewande Bibla also came from Dublin, and the show's host, Laura Whitmore, grew up in Bray, just outside the city.
If cast rumours are true, the 20-year-old could be joining Holly Ramsay, Toluwa Adepeju. Aimee-Rose Francis, Harley Benn, Alisha LeMay, James Price, Alexis Bailey, Ellis Iyayi and Jay Munro in the villa.
ITV2 are keeping a tight lid on the release date and cast this year, but it's reported that the production crew will fly out to Majorca on 20th June and the show will start on 28th June.
