Love Island 2022: Who are latest bombshells Jay Younger and Remi Lambert

The end of Tuesday night's Love Island saw two new bombshells enter the villa.

Jay Younger and Remi Lambert caught the attention of a number of contestants as they made their dramatic entrance. Remi, 22, is a model and rapper from Manchester and Jay, 28, is an investment analyst from Edinburgh.

But there is a lot more to both men than their good looks and charisma. For example, one has a famous relative while another has previously worked for Primark, Charlotte Tilbury and Mercedes Benz.

We take a look at everything you need to know about the latest bombshells to hit the Spanish villa of love.

Who is Jay Younger?

The series' newest bombshell Jay Younger entered the villa on Tuesday. He is an investment analyst who lives in Edinburgh. However, he does happen to have some Liverpool links.

Asked if he has any claims to fame, Jay said: "My grandad played for Liverpool and he was captain of Scotland back in the 1950s. He was in the hall of fame for Liverpool and he was in the hall of fame for Hibernian FC." Jay's grandfather is Scottish football star Tommy Younger. He made his debut for Liverpool in August 1956, with his last appearance for the club taking place three years later.

Jay thinks he is a catch because "he has what most females want." He said: "I think I genuinely have what most females want. I’ve got a good job, I think I am a good looking lad and I have a lot of fun so I feel like I could add a lot of value to their lives if they add a lot of value to mine."

The Scot describes himself as "indecisive" and blames that trait for him being single. When asked why he is single, he said: "I’ve just been very indecisive. I think I am just not one to settle down easily."

He added: "I think I am going to be a supportive Islander, I think I am going to bring a lot of fun. Hopefully some good laughs along the way and maybe some indecisive decisions."

Who is Remi Lambert?

Remi is a model and a rapper from Manchester. It is understood he is originally from the Moss Side area. In his line of work, he has partnered up with the likes of Primark, Charlotte Tilbury and Mercedes Benz. Following Liam Llewellyn's departure last week, Remi is now the youngest male contestant in the villa this season.

When asked why he is still single, he said: "I think it’s by choice - I’m too picky. She needs to be 10/10 for everything. And I’m 6ft3”. I’d like a girl to be at least 5ft10.

"Recently I’ve been going on a lot of dates but I feel like now it’s time to find something more serious. I usually meet girls out and about on a night out. If I see a girl I like, I’ll just go over without hesitation and sometimes I meet girls through Instagram."

Remi claimed that seeing Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury together sparked something inside him as he claimed: "I want a love like that."
