A VERY famous face is heading into the Love Island villa 😲
Bosses are pulling out all of the stops!
It sounds like Love Island bosses are blowing the budget for this year's Summer series! Not only did they pull out all of the stops to get International superstar Ne-Yo to kick off Casa Amor earlier this year, they've now confirmed ANOTHER famous face is heading for villa.
That's right, pop superstar Rita Ora will perform for the Islanders at this year's infamous beach club party which is set to air tonight (Tuesday 18th July).
Following the release of her third studio album 'You & I' on 14th July, Rita will perform huge hits including new single 'Praising You'.
Check out all of the former celebrity guests on Love Island:
Stormzy
Remember when Stormzy called out Olivia Attwood on Twitter for the way she treated Chris Hughes? Well, they came face-to-face when the rapper was beamed into the villa for a video call with the contestants. Viewers were loving it and hailed the incredible moment as "the best TV ever".
Tom Zanetti
Before he was known as a reality TV personality in his own right, DJ and producer Tom Zanetti entered the villa in series four to spin some tunes at the Islanders' Ministry of Sound party. It was here that he first met Hayley Hughes, who he later dated after she left the show.
Craig David
Craig David accidentally provided one of the most iconic Love Island moments of all time when he brought Anton Danyluk to tears by entering the villa to belt out some of his greatest hits.
Mark Wright
Way back when Love Island began in 2015, Mark Wright entered the villa in one of the series' most shocking moments. No, he wasn't looking for love - he's happily married to Michelle Keegan, of course. He appeared on the show to DJ for contestant Lauren Richardson's 27th birthday.
Danny Dyer
Love Island viewers were left devastated when Dani Dyer's dad Danny didn't enter the villa for the Meet The Parents day. However, he did still manage to give Jack Fincham a grilling when he appeared via video call.

Taking to Instagram after the show, Ella expressed her love, writing: 'Love Island Babyyyyyyyyyy!!!!! Living my best slow mo life 😂 … What a blast to head into the @loveisland villa xx. E x #LoveIsland #AllStars' (sic)
Although nothing has been confirmed just yet, as Love Island fans will know, the beach club part of the series usually ends with host Maya Jama spoiling the party to announce more shock dumpings.
With just two weeks left to go until the final on Monday 31st July, the eight remaining couples are all at different stages of their relationships.
Whilst things seem to be going well for Whitney and Lochan, Jess and Sammy, and Ella T and Tyrique, drama commenced on Monday night's show during the tense game of Snog, Marry, Pie, for the likes of Molly and Zachariah, Abi and Mitch, and Kady and Ouzy.
