The villa has been thrown into chaos after one of the new Islanders left the series at the last minute
A HOT new Love Island bombshell could be rushed into the villa, after Kyle Ashman was axed the show.
It comes after The Sun exclusively revealed how Kyle, 23, had sensationally left the reality series last night, just days before the launch show.

Kyle was axed from Love Island before he was even on TV, after The Sun alerted bosses that he was arrested on suspicion of a machete attack.
ITV chiefs sent him home from Majorca, plunging the show into chaos ahead of Monday’s launch.
It comes after it was revealed how Kyle was questioned by police after thugs stormed a wake in Stafford and hacked at a dad with a blade in February.
Kyle was one of two quizzed but released without charge, with police telling us that no further action was taken.
It is not suggested that Kyle was involved in the attack.
However, sources told The Sun that ITV was unaware of the incident and he was not flagged as part of contestant checks.
A Love Island insider said: “ITV were entirely unaware of Kyle’s past and, as he was not charged, it was not flagged as part of Love Island’s stringent DBS checks."
POSSIBLE REPLACEMENT
But now that Kyle has left the show, there is a spot in the line-up, which has gone from 12, to 11 Islanders.
The Sun were first to reveal how hunky Aaron Buckett was being eyed up by Love Island bosses as a potential cast member, so he seems the obvious choice to fill the void.
Standing at a whopping 6 foot 5 inches tall, Londoner Aaron ticks all of the boxes when it comes to the perfect Islander.

A source previously told us: “It’s a fact of life that girls go crazy for a tall lad and Aaron is a man mountain.
“He’s got great chat too.
“Aaron is in the mix for this year’s cast but execs are still finalising whether he’ll be in the opening line-up or as a tempting bombshell.”
KYLE SPEAKS OUT
Last night Kyle broke his silence on leaving Love Island and insisted he was "not a violent person".
In a statement, he said: “I fully co-operated with this police investigation and made it very clear that I had no involvement in this incident.
“I am not a violent person and any suggestion otherwise is a mischaracterisation.”
Confirming his show exit, an ITV spokesman said: “For personal reasons, Kyle will not be entering the Love Island Villa as planned.”
