A new Irish bombshell has joined the Love Island villa with Victoria Onanusi.

She is the second Irish person this season, as Galway footballer Seán Fitzgerald started in the villa.

Who is Victoria Onanusi, and what is her story? Here is what you need to know:

The 25-year-old is from Kildare but currently lives in Manchester. Her Instagram handle is @victoriaonanusi.

Victoria works two jobs, away from the cameras, juggling her role as a personal assistant with a part-time gig as a model.

As for who she's looking for, she's not got a 'type on paper' but fancies men who are "handsome" and "tall" that also "have a great smile".

"I’m such a sucker for a good smile," Victoria said.

What she isn't into? Her turn-offs are guys who "complain too much" or men who are "unnecessarily rude to other people".

According to telly insiders, the Irish beauty has been sent in to "shake up the narrative", which is no surprise considering she entered the show during a secret cocktail night away from the girls.

A post shared by Victoria (@victoriaonanusi)

She's featured in campaigns for fashion and beauty brands but still grinds away in the office to top up her funds.

The forever-single Islander has never been in a relationship before, but believes if she's meant to find her first boyfriend in the villa, love will come her way.

Victoria explained: "I have a really strong belief in myself, and I think what’s meant for me will always be mine."

When she waltzed in to meet the Love Island boys for the first time, Victoria said: "The guys aren’t going to know what’s hit them, I am the full package.

"I’ve got the looks, I’ve got the brain, I’ve got the beauty. The boys need to be ready for me; no one is safe."

Tonight's episode

On Tuesday's episode, the Islanders relax into the evening, and Yasmin’s phone pings with a text.

“Could all Islanders gather around the Fire Pit immediately?”

There, Kavan then reads out another text.

“Tonight, there will be a recoupling where the boys will decide which girl they want to couple up with.”

“As Victoria and Namibia are the newest arrivals, they will decide who they want to couple up with first.”

As Namibia and Victoria take turns stepping forward, their choices leave the Villa in shock, as one Islander finds themselves part of a brand new couple… and they’re not happy about it.

Who might be left vulnerable as a result of the night’s decisions?

Love Island continues on Tuesday at 9pm on Virgin Media Play @ Virgin Media Two.
