Last night's dramatic recoupling on Love Island left two girls single. It was revealed at the end of the episode that two new boys would enter the villa - Tom Walker and Jordan Hames.

Single girls Maura and Anna got a text to say they would immediately be going on dates with them.

Here's everything you need to know about bombshells Tom and Jordan:

Tom Walker

  • Age: 29
  • Hometown: Leeds
  • Occupation: Model

What makes you the perfect Love Islander?

I’m fun and energetic. I tend to get on with boys and girls. I’m a people person. I enjoy finding out about people. I’m also opinionated and enjoy good discussions.

What are your three best and worst personality traits?

The best is that I get on with everyone, I’m nosy, I enjoy asking questions and getting to know people. I’m fun and always up for doing things. I’m a yes man, I don’t turn many things down. The downside is that I sometimes find it hard to switch off. I can be quite annoying. I’m always on the go.

How would you rate your looks on a scale of one to ten and what would you say is your best feature?

I think I’m a solid eight. I appreciate I’ve been blessed, I wouldn’t be modelling if I wasn’t. People compliment me on my jawline.

Who do you have your eye on?

I like the new girls – Maura is a cannon. She’s gone in there and torn it up. She might be a bit too hot to handle! I really like Elma. She’s got a look I tend to go for. From day one I liked the look of Lucie, although she seems pretty happy and settled with Joe. I’ll find out whether she is when I get in.

What’s your idea of the perfect girl?

Someone that I can be myself around. I don’t have to play anything up or play anything down. Someone who has got an energy for life, enjoys travelling and socialising.

Who is your celebrity crush?

I’ve always liked Michelle Keegan

How do you tend to meet dates?

Either in a bar or through friends. I’ve not used dating apps.

What’s been your most disastrous date/dating experience?

I can’t remember any tragic dates, it’s been quite plain sailing.

That time again! Going in!

A post shared by Tom Walker (@tom9walker) on

What’s an immediate turn off for you in a girl?

Bad teeth.

How far are you prepared to go in the villa to get the girl you want?

I’m a man’s man. I get on well with guys, I’ve grown up playing football. But I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do. We’re all in there for the same reason.

Which of the guys do you think you’ll get on with?

I think they’re all good guys from what I’ve seen. Curtis obviously comes across really well. Michael’s a really nice bloke. He’s switched on and intelligent. Tommy seems like a really good guy.

Will you be loyal or do you have a wandering eye? Have you ever cheated/been cheated on?

I’m a loyal person. Never say never to the wandering eye because it’s the way of the show.

You feel like you’re really into one person but then who knows?

I will make calculated decisions and I’m not going to go rushing in. But I’m loyal so I don’t think I’ll be messing people around too much.

What’s your definition of bro code?

Just be honest. I don’t really want to deal with people that want to play games.

What is your claim to fame?

Through my work as a model, I’ve appeared in TV adverts and on billboards. People might recognise me from that.

Jordan Hames

  • Age: 24
  • Hometown: Manchester
  • Occupation: Model

What makes you the perfect Love Islander?

I bring something different to the other Islanders. I’ve got good energy, I’m really bubbly. I’ve got younger siblings I’m always teasing, so I think I’ll be a bit of a joker of the pack.

What are your three best and worst personality traits?

My best are my jawline, my trainer collection and how laid back I am in life. I don’t take myself too seriously. My worst traits are that I’m quite clumsy. I was once on a first date, bought two cocktails,
went to sit down and knocked them over.

Sometimes I leave things until the last minute, so I’m often in a rush.

How would you rate your looks on a scale of one to ten and what would you say is your best feature?

I would say I am solid 9.8 out of ten. Not quite a ten, no one is perfect. My best feature is my hair.

Who do you have your eye on in the villa?

I like all of them, I’m greedy in that sense. I like blondes, brunettes, red heads. I would say Anna, Amber, Molly-Mae and Elma are on my radar.

What’s your idea of the perfect girl?

Someone who has got nice eyes, good energy and good banter, someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously but is career driven. I like them to be fiery.

If I’m in a relationship with someone who says ‘yes’ all the time, I’ll just be seeing what I can get away with. I like someone spontaneous, I love travelling. I’m the sort of guy who will book to go on a city break on a Friday and then go on the Saturday.

Who is your celebrity crush?

Jennifer Lopez, always. She’s got a nice tan, good body, she’s talented.

ain’t no cap in my rap

A post shared by Jordan Mainoo-Hames (@jxrdanhames) on

How do you tend to meet dates?

I like meeting girls in real life. I saw a girl who was wearing a nice pair of trainers at a concert once, so I went over and complimented her on them and that’s how we started talking. Otherwise I slide
into the DMs.

What’s been your most disastrous date/dating experience?

I’m usually a smooth operator. Usually I’m on point!

What’s an immediate turn off for you in a girl?

Girls with a really loud, annoying laugh. Over the top. I don’t like really overly dramatic girls. I like girls who are more laid back and chilled, like me. I don’t like drama or people who are high maintenance.

How far are you prepared to go in the villa to get the girl you want?

I’m going in on my own, although I want to get along with the lads because I’m a lads’ lad, I’m there for myself so if I see a girl I want, I’m going to go for it.

Which of the guys do you think you’ll get on with?

Michael is very level headed and mature. He’s got the northern banter. Danny seems really sound, as does Anton. Curtis looks really welcoming too.

Will you be loyal or do you have a wandering eye? Have you ever cheated/been cheated on?

For me it takes a lot for me to commit to a girl so when I am single I will dabble here and then. But when I’m committed I am 100% loyal. But only if I meet the right girl.

What’s your definition of bro code?

Always bantering your mates at any time possible but knowing them well enough to be able to lend an ear or a shoulder when they need you. If someone’s official I wouldn’t go and steal their girl, but there’s a lot of ‘half’ relationships up in the air. I think there’s a gentleman way to go about things. I’m not one to do mates over like that. If I go for it, I’ll do it in the right way.

What’s your claim to fame?

Through modelling, I did the Adidas World Cup campaign and met David Beckham on set.

On last night's Aftersun, it was revealed that Tom is interested in Elma and Maura and Jordan has his eyes on Amber.

We also saw a sneak peek clip showing Anna and Jordan flirting.

Love Island continues on Virgin Media Two tonight from 9pm.
