Love Island: Late entry Toni enters in shock late twist
The Love Island villa is set to be thrown into further disarray with the introduction of two new bombshells.
This means that three new faces have been added to the popular ITV2 dating show in as many days, following the debut of the first American contestant in the UK version of the programme.
Host Maya Jama introduced Toni on the Islanders’ first day and tasked her with stealing one of the boys. Now, it’s the girls’ turn to be tempted.
The sun-soaked Majorca villa is about to unveil another twist with the arrival of two new bombshells, Shea Mannings and Remell Mullins. But what should you know about Shea?
Here’s the lowdown on his real job, age and more.

Shea is a 25 year old Bristol resident. Although he works as a scaffolder, he shares a common interest with one of the boys already in the villa – Shea is also a semi-professional footballer, reports OK!
His most recent team was Swindon Supermarine FC, who compete in the Southern League Premier Division South. However, he returned to the south coast last season for a stint with Bristol Manor Farm.

Previous clubs also include Roman Glass St George, Ashton and Backwell, Larkhall Athletic, Metropolitan Police, Paulton Rovers, and Melksham Town. It remains unclear if he is currently under contract at any club.
As one might expect from a sportsman, Shea’s daily routine largely revolves around time spent in the gym, and he has also shared that he is a father to a young son. Nevertheless, his life as a parent is largely absent from his Instagram feed, which predominantly features him working out, enjoying sun-kissed destinations, and in action on the football pitch.

According to a previous player profile, Shea stands at an impressive 6 ft 4, and his bold personality certainly lives up to his position as a forward, even off the pitch. Prior to entering the villa, he confidently proclaimed himself to be skilled at wooing women and believed he would even win over host Maya with his charming flirtation skills.
Despite indications that he had been actively dating before joining the show, Shea claims he is now ready for a more meaningful connection and potentially settling down.
When asked about his ideal match, he revealed: “She needs to be bubbly and we need to have that initial spark. She needs to have a nice personality – like I think I have – so that we match together. Also, I have a little boy, so I’ll be taking him into consideration with who I couple up with, too. “.
As for deal-breakers, girls can easily steer clear of what Shea considers his major turn-off. He confessed: “Dirty trainers. I can’t deal with that.”
