LOVE Island bombshell Angel Swift secretly dated a Towie hunk - weeks before entering the villa.
Angel, a 26-year-old aesthetics practitioner and salon owner from Maidstone, made an immediate impact upon arriving.
But before joining the ITV2 show, Angel had a secret romance with Towie hunk Dan Edgar.
Dan, 35, who previously dated co-star Ella Rae Wise, competed in Dancing on Ice earlier this year.
A friend of Angel's told The Sun: "They were together during one of the May bank holidays in Marbella and spent time hanging out.
"They were seen at various events, it was casual dating but they had fun together."
Meanwhile a source close to Dan claimed things were never serious.
They said: "It was just one date really, and it was after he split from Ella.
"Dan was very much single at the time."
The Sun has contacted a rep for Love Island for comment.
After Angel entered the villa, Ty received a text telling him he’d been automatically coupled up with the newest Islander.
The twist unfolded during the Couple of Sorts game, where the Islanders were asked to predict which three boys Angel would find most attractive.
Conor was placed third, Harry second, and Ty was voted her top choice.
Ty then received a text informing him he had been automatically coupled up with Angel.
As a result, Lauren – who had previously been coupled up with Ty – was left single and was immediately sent a text telling her she had been dumped from the villa.
Stunned fans took to social media to react to the brutal moment.
One wrote: "Lmfaooooo nah they did Lauren dirty."
Another said: "LAUREN BEING DUMPED THAT QUICKLY IS CRAZYYY."
A third added: "THE PRODUCERS ARE RUDEEEE LMAOOOO."
Now settled into the villa, Angel has also been getting to know OG Islander Harry.
Will Harry remain in his current couple with Helena, or will his head be turned?
Love Island airs on ITV2 and ITVX.
