New addition to Love Island Kain Reed wasted no time whatsoever in getting to know fellow Islander Lana Jenkins shortly after arriving at Casa Amor during tonight's showing of the popular ITV2 show.
The Gateshead-born Energy Consultant, 21, was one of six new boys landing in South Africa to take part in the mid-season shake-up - all of whom hoping to turn the heads of the already coupled-up females.
And it didn't take Kain long to get chatting with 25-year-old Lana who instantly caught his eye upon waltzing through the door.

Speaking to the blonde bombshell, he asked: "How's things going in the other Villa?" to which Lana replied: "Yeah, you know what, for the past like three days, four days, when we came to recoupling and I was back coupled up with Ron - it's actually been quite good with him."

Kain responded: "But you're not like 100 per cent boxed off?" with Lana adding: "No. I think you know what? We're going in the right direction, but someone could go in there and really blow him out the water do you know what I mean? And someone could come in here and do the same for me.
"And I would never turn down an opportunity to meet somebody who is more suited to me. Do you know what I mean?"
Lana has locked eyes with Ron since day one in the Villa, with the pair getting to know each other well over the course of the season so far. But Kain won't let that stop him from getting to know the make-up artist.
He continued: "You are the person that I do want to try to make something of. You're like 100 per cent top of my list. As soon as I come in and everyone sat around, I was like 'you keep drawing my attention.
"I keep like - every time I'm speaking - I keep like coming to look at you. So obviously that was happening straight away. I'm glad that you know you're top basically, if I had to describe my type it's you to a tee."
Lana gasped: "Really? You're forward aren't you?" with Kain coming back: "Well like I say, is there any way to be? Because I don't want to waste time."
In the diary room, Lana went on to say: "Kain seems like a lovely boy, his personality is lovely. I'm just gonna carry on chatting and I'm going to chat to all of the boys obviously."
Love Island continues tomorrow evening at 9pm on ITV2.
