The calm after the storm is a mere concept when it comes to this season of Love Island. Ever since the lads and ladies were split up during Casa Amor the drama has not stopped and it doesn't look like it will be ending anytime soon.

Two new bombshells will be sauntering into the villa in tonight's episode (February 24) and ALL the Islanders need to be warned, these two are ready to split up couples and break hearts.

Keanan Brand is one of the newbies and he has his eye on a certain brunette, "Samie is my number one, if I could draw my perfect girl based on looks it would be her. I think she’s looking for someone that is cheeky and confident, and that’s me."

And he wastes no time, picking Samie Elishi for his first date, followed by Jessie Wynter, who's discovered that her feelings for Will Young may not be evergreen (haha).

Keanan has his eyes on Samie

Who can blame him? Samie is drop dead gorge and is currently in a couple with Tom Clare, but after his Casa Amor antics, when the footballer cuddled and canoodled with Lydia Karakyriakou, they definitely aren't as strong as they once were.

Keanan believes that Samie could do better and had a few choice words to say about her current beau, "I’ve got my eye on Samie but Tom is obviously a big handsome lad - but in my opinion he doesn’t really get past the looks."

An absolute burn from the rugby player but he does also have a point.

Has anyone witnessed Tom offering a strong conversation or does he just hypnotise with those piercing blue eyes?

And tonight's episode teases a surprise re-coupling in which the girls get to pick their man... Maybe Samie and Jessie will decide that the grass is greener on the rugby pitch (see below) than the football one. Or, erm, sheep field.

Who is Keanan Brand?

Keanan Brand will be entering the winter Love Island 2023 villa alongside Rosie Seabrook as a bombshell.

How old is Keanan Brand?

Keanan is 24 years old.

Where is Keanan Brand from?

Keanan is from Wigan but has a little bit of Irish in him which he hopes will help him charm the Love Island ladies.

Before entering the villa, he said, "I’m of Irish heritage so I’ve always got the luck of the Irish with me."

What does Keanan Brand do?

Keanan is a professional rugby player for Leigh Leopards (best team name ever, tbh).

Who does Keanan Brand have his eye on in the villa?

Keanan is of course after Samie but also has a soft spot for Aussie hottie Jessie Wynter. He said, "Jessie is also up there, I know she’s with Will but I think me and her will get on well."

We would have said there is no way in hell that Jessie would stray from her farmer, but after Will Young kissed a certain Layla Al-Momani during Casa Amor we wouldn't be surprised if Jessie got her flirt on.

What does Keanan Brand look for in a girl?

It's not all just about looks with the bombshell.

He said, "Personality is massive for me, I want a girl who is polite and has good morals. I like someone I can bounce off, so they need to have lots of energy."

Does Keanan Brand have Instagram?

Yes you can join his 15k followers at @keabrand_.

Don't forget no one is manning Keanan's Instagram while he is on Love Island.
