Love Island viewers have been given the power to choose the first male or female bombshell to enter the villa
In a first for the ITV2 dating show, voting - which is free via the 'Love Island' app - will open at 8pm on Thursday (12.01.23) as fans are handed control.
They must choose between Ellie Spence, a 25-year-old Business Development Executive at a law firm, and 23-year-old semi-pro footballer Tom Clare.
Ellie claims she could "literally fall in love with a chair", and admits she is a "little bit of a liability".
She said: "I'm single because I fall in love really quick, but I fall out of it just as quickly. I could literally fall in love with a chair and then a week later be like, 'Oh wait, no, that's a chair...' I fall in love quickly because I build up a character of someone in my head and then they breathe in the wrong direction and I'm like, 'Next!' "
Asked how her friends and family would describe her, she said: "Super caring and kind but also a little bit of a liability, but in a fun way.
"You know when you have the mums of the group when you go out? I'm the one swinging on the chandelier refusing to go home. I'm definitely a good time girl."
Tom plays for Northern Premier League Division One West club Macclesfield FC, where former Wales international Robbie Savage is director of football.
Quizzed on what his claim to fame is, the Barnsley-born star said: "Robbie Savage is the director of my football team. I just have such a good relationship with him. I see him as a mate."
Tom admitted he is looking for a permanent partner in the villa.
He said: "Since my ex-girlfriend, no-one's really come to me and I've thought, 'Wow'. Until I have that, I'm not really going to settle for less. Not in a bad way, but the next person I get with, I want to marry."
