ITV2 bosses are introducing four new contestants - here's everything you need to know abut Reece as he sets his sights on love in the villa.
Love Island 2022 is bringing us one twist after another from the epic Casa Amor recoupling, shock dumpings and now, four hot new bombshell contestants to really mix things up.
As well as Nathalia Campos, Lacey Edwards and Jamie Allen, one of the hot newbies entering the villa is Reece Ford who is guaranteed to shake things up with existing couples including Gemma Owen, Luca Bish, Paige Thorne and Adam Collard.
Entering the show after a shock double dumping at the beach club, Reece has already admitted he won't have any trouble stepping on any toes.
He said: "I am naturally a competitive person, I used to be a professional footballer so I am used to having lots of competition.
“I feel like I am quite confident so I wouldn’t care about stepping on anyone's toes that doesn’t really bother me. I am going in there to find love so that’s all a part of it really.”

So what do we need to know about the new Love Island bombshell? Here's all the important facts about Reece from his job, age, where he's from and he's all important claim to fame.
Joining the average age group for this year's Love Island, Reece is a fresh 23 year old.
Reece is about to spend the next few weeks (we're fast approaching the Love Island final!) in the Mallorca villa.
However, when he's not in an exotic location looking for love, you'll find him in his home town of Coventry.

Even though he's just 23, Reece already has quite the celebrity CV.
He first started off as a professional football player but has since turned to modelling. Not only that, he's also Kylian Mbappé’s (a rather famous French football player) official body double.
You can find him sharing lots of six-pack and modelling shots over @_reeceford.
