Two fresh bombshells are set to walk into the Love Island villa - and one may already look familiar.

Simba Kudyiwa is poised to join the cast of the ITV2 dating programme's summer series, making his dramatic arrival tonight (June 10) alongside fellow newcomer, Tommy.

As tonight's recoupling ceremony unfolds, three girls will find themselves without a partner. It's then they'll receive a message declaring: "You are now single and vulnerable. Simba and Tommy are on their way to meet you."

The fresh faces will be invited to choose which of the three remaining girls they fancy coupling up with. The final girl left unchosen will face immediate elimination, reports OK!

Given the pivotal part these new bombshells will play this evening, what else should we know about Simba?

Simba is a 24-year-old residing in Enfield. He's employed as a Neurological Rehabilitation Assistant, though has also openly disclosed he's a semi-professional footballer and events business owner too.

Earlier this year he featured in a UK version of the viral online dating series, Pop the Balloon or Find Love. The concept involves a panel of singletons clutching red balloons, who can opt to burst them if they're unimpressed by a potential suitor presented to the group.

Simba featured in Episode 4 of the UK version of the programme which went live online back in February. Nevertheless, he struggled to forge a connection, and is now hoping to discover romance in the Love Island villa instead.

Before entering the villa, he confessed to being single for "a long time." He said: "It's been four years. I definitely want to settle down and find somebody."

His dream partner would be petite, possess "natural features" and take good care of themselves. He went on to say: "Personality wise, I'd like someone that doesn't take themselves too seriously and has some type of ambition."

Given his footballing background, Simba says he's "naturally got that competitive nature" and won't be backing down from it. He added: "I back myself, there's a very thin line between ego and confidence. I have a lot of confidence. That's probably the area of my life where I have the most confidence, with girls."

Love Island airs Sundays to Fridays at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
