This series of Love Island has been highly chaotic and addictive watching to say the least, and we're not even a fortnight in.
And producers have struck while the iron's hot, upping the ante by teasing the arrival of three new bombshells in last night's episode (13 June). The third male bombshell to arrive after TOWIE's Joey Essex and PE teacher Omar Nyame is Wil Anderson, who is confident that he'll bring a 'cheerful, cheeky, excitable vibe' to the villa.
Let's be frank: we all love sleuthing to see which islanders have links on the outside world, and we can confirm that Wil falls into this bracket. His brother is Elliot Anderson, who plays as a midfielder for Premier League side, Newcastle United and has already showed support for his sibling on social media. So, with that, here is everything you need to know about Wil Anderson.

What has Wil Anderson said about Love Island?
Why Love Island and why now? Wil says, "I wanted to be single for the last year because I’ve been in two serious relationships from the age of 18 but now, I feel like it’s time to put myself back out there. I want to feel that love again."
Wil thinks he'll get on with all the lads and build good connections with the girls, listing his 6'4" frame, smile and personality as his "catch-worthy" credentials.
He says he's single because he chooses to be. "I could definitely be in a relationship if I wanted to be. I’m super picky but I don’t think that's a bad thing because it’s worth waiting to get exactly what it is you are looking for," he says.
His family and friends would describe him as "fun, loves a party, strong, loyal, respectful and honest" and Wil himself is looking for, "a pretty smile, a good personality and would like someone who is down to earth and humble".
