In a Love Island first, the bombshell announcements have been held until the last moment as the series takes a turn from the very first episode.

Previously, Love Island bombshells were predetermined far in advance, such as Davide Sanclimenti in last summer’s series.

This series, however, fans have voted which contestants they wanted to pair up, and according to a source that spoke to The Sun, producers waited until the votes were in to choose the first bombshell.

They said: “This year bosses didn’t nail down who the first bombshell would be until they’d seen how the first coupling up played out.

“Zachariah was deemed to be the perfect new arrival to cause mayhem.”

With the personal trainer’s famous sister, producers felt he would be able to “handle the limelight” that would come with being thrown in the deep end of the villa.

The muscle-bound Love Island hopeful has documented his fitness journey on his Instagram, captivating thousands of followers in the process.

In a candid before-and-after post, Zachariah penned a heartfelt note to his former self saying: “To the boy that started this journey, ‘you’ve done well bro’.

“And to the man that’s gonna finish it, ‘The works only just begging’. Let’s work.”

Love Island airs every night at 9pm on ITV2.
