Gillian McKeith's daughter 'in talks' to enter Love Island villa as dramatic bombshell

Love Island could be set to see Gillian McKeith's daughter stir up drama as a late arrival bombshell for the contestants.

It comes after reports suggested a sixth bombshell is set to enter the villa to surprise the Islanders in a bid to stir up some drama for the singletons.

Now, it's claimed that Gillian's daughter Afton, 23, could be set to divulge all about her relationship with Brooklyn Beckham after waltzing into the villa.

Sources claim that Gillian who recently appeared on I'm A Celebrity... South Africa has been chatting to pals at ITV with the hopes of getting Afton on the ITV2 dating show.

It's believed that Afton is "more than willing" to open up about her relationship with Brooklyn.

Speaking to The Sun, a source said: "Being a jungle legend, Gillian has pulled some strings at ITV where she has friends in very high places.

"She's told bosses how great her daughter would be and there have been discussions for her to join the show at some point.

"The Islanders won't know what's hit them when Afton rocks up. She isn't afraid to play up for the cameras, strip down to risqué outfits and get stuck into the challenges."

The mole adds that Afton will also reveal all about the whole Beckham family.

Afton who currently lives in Beverly Hills, California, has made it no secret that she doesn't have feelings for Brooklyn anymore and joked that he is the most famous person to have blocked her on Instagram.

The couple dated in 2017 but later split, with a source telling the Daily Star: "The romance didn't last too long but Afton definitely grew feelings for Brooklyn."

However, Afton who was 17 at the time of their romance said: "I'm better off without him, I'm fine."

Recalling her encounters with David and Victoria, she said: "I got to meet his parents and they are very nice, Victoria is very protective over him."

Last month, she told The Sun how she didn't keep up with any of Brooklyn's movements nowadays and hadn't seen any of his lavish wedding celebrations.

Although things soon turned awkward after she bumped into Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham in Los Angeles at a local Erewhon supermarket.

She said: "You know, they seem good. I wish them the best. I hope they have a really long and happy marriage.

"It was extremely awkward."

The Mirror approached ITV and Gillian McKeith for comment.
