Just when we thought Love Island series 12 couldn't get any juicier, a plot twist is literally strutting into the villa. Meet Angel Swift, the bombshell no one saw coming.

It's been confirmed that a brand new islander will be entering the villa, despite being close to the final. She may be arriving fashionably late, but she's certainly not here to play it safe.

Her arrival in the villa comes amid chaos. Ex's Emma and Harry have teased a potential rekindling of their pre-villa relationship, with Harrison Solomon reportedly quitting the villa after his love triangle with Toni Laites and Lauren Wood came to a head.

Who is Angel Swift?

Angel Swift - whose full name is Angelique - is entering the villa as our latest bombshell. She describes herself as a self-confessed '10 out of 10' thanks to her good looks and personality, and while she says she's a girl's girl, she isn't afraid to step on toes.

Opening up about joining the ITV show, Angel said, 'It's an amazing opportunity to make new connections and have new experiences. I'm ready to make memories with someone, go travelling with them and fall in love.'

How old is Angel Swift?

Angel is 26 years old, and she's from Maidstone, in Kent.

What is Angel Swift's job?

Angel works as an Aesthetics Practitioner. She owns her own salon, named AngelFace, based in her hometown of Maidstone. The salon offers a range of different treatments, including facials, hair extensions, microneedling, lashes, nails, and waxing. It also offers some non-surgical cosmetic enhancement treatments, such as dermal fillers, fat dissolving injections, and vitamin injections.

Alongside her day job, Angel is also a content creator and influencer. At the time of writing, she has over 119k followers on Instagram, with a healthy 6000 TikTok followers.

What is Angel Swift's type?

Having been single for a year, Angel's more than ready to meet her man in the Love Island villa.

Opening up about her type, Angel said she loves a 'tall, dark, and handsome' man with a 'nice smile.' Being family oriented is a must, too.

The bombshell has already admitted that she has her sights set on Ty - who is currently coupled up with Lauren, after Toni re-coupled with Harrison.

'I'd like to get to know Ty and see what he's about,' she shared. It's a move that has left fans thinking her arrival could mean waving goodbye to another - questioning whether one islander will be brutally dumped tonight to make space for Angel.

Revealing that she isn't afraid to step on toes, Angel shared, 'Breaking up another couple? That is what's going to happen, so it's quite exciting really. That's what I'm in there for.'

'I feel like people have been getting their heads turned very easily. I do feel like I have quite a good chance of turning someone's head.'

Does Angel Swift know any other Love Islanders?

As is often the case, it seems Angel already knows quite a few former Islanders. She is followed by season 10 winners Sammy Root and Jess Harding, as well as Nicole Samuel, Samantha Kenny, and Harriet Blackmore. She also seems to be good friends with Matilda Draper, who has comments on several of Angels posts.

It also seems that she may know one of this year's islanders, too! She's followed by recent bombshell Giorgio Russo, who was dumped from the villa following Casa Amor.

Does Angel Swift have Instagram?

Yes! You can follow Angel over on Instagram @angeliqueswift, where she posts plenty of fashion inspo and luxe holiday content.
