Love Island: Who is new bombshell Harrison? Footballer and model set to crash villa in tonight's episode

The ITV reality show has already seen its fair share of drama in only one week with two dumpings, shocking recouplings and infighting between the islanders. Now producers are upping the ante by adding another new face to the villa.

Footballer Harrison Solomon will join the show as the newest bombshell in scene to be shown in tonight’s show (June 17).

Who is Harrison Solomon?

Harrison is a footballer and model from Burton-upon-Trent. The 22-year-old came through at Derby County’s Academy, joining the club’s youth ranks at U9 level.

The defender might find a kindred spirit in Toni as he is currently a student in Florida, playing soccer for his college. Harrison is also a model and had taken part in shoots including editorial and brand campaigns.

Speaking about what he’s looking for in the villa, Harrison said: "I'm [excited] - I just want to get in there. I’m buzzing to go in. There’s a lot of girls in there that are my type, it could get a little busy, honestly.

He added: "Personality is a big thing, so it depends who I vibe with in there. I’m not here to make friends. If the girl is for me, I’m going to grab that. That’s no issue. I’m in there for myself at the end of the day."

As for what exactly his type is, he revealed: "I need someone who is fiery and got a bit of an attitude. I don’t want someone boring in the corner. I want someone who has got a bit of substance and voices their opinion. Confidence, being family oriented is a big one for me and someone who is ambitious, too."

Harrison keep his social media updated regularly, with his Instagram available at @hj_solomon.

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
