Love Island series 13 gave the first bombshells all the power, as George Knight and Yasmin Hadlow were given exactly 24 hours to choose one boy and one girl to dump from the villa.
Before George made his bombshell entrance, he revealed his relationship strategy was not to make any "rash decisions" and get to know everyone first. However, if his type walks in, George said he would "jump at it".
Unlike his fellow Islanders, George appears to take a more laidback approach to dealing with the competition. He said: "I don’t want any problems. If I’m not anyone’s cup of tea, I’m not gonna force it."
