As Luca Bish, 23, appeared to snicker at the statement, the Italian hunk continued.

Davide went on: ‘… So I really appreciate that. And I  would like to see how this couple will move forward, so the girl I would like to couple up with is Ekin-Su.’

Social media reactions to the speech saw users bewildered at his confidence, as some called him ‘conceited’.

The new addition to the show is understood to be Castleford Tigers rugby player Jacques O’Neill, 23, with his club issuing a strategically timed statement to coincide with the end of the episode.

A tweet from club bosses read: ‘Castleford Tigers can confirm that the Club has agreed to release Jacques O’Neill from his contract to allow him to pursue another opportunity. Best of luck @Jacques9oneill!’

MailOnline contacted a Love Island spokesperson for comment at the time.

In a teaser clip for Sunday’s show, dressage champion Gemma could be heard reacting in horror after seeing her ex enter the villa.

Jacques’ entry comes after Liam Llewellyn broke the news to his fellow islanders that he was leaving the villa on Friday, hours after MailOnline revealed that he had quit the show.

The Welsh student gathered everyone around the firepit ahead of the first recoupling, where he admitted he was not giving 100% of himself and was having a ‘hard time’ with his struggle to find a romantic connection.

Liam also sat down Gemma, who he was formerly coupled up with, and told her ‘I am not myself at all’ before reassuring her that his decision was not based on her being in a new couple with Davide Sanclimenti.

Just days before, the Italian hunk stole Michael Owen’s daughter from him, while Liam also found it difficult to woo newcomers Afia Tonkmor and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, who’ve expressed interest in Ikenna and Davide since their arrival in the villa.

Announcing to the islanders that he had big news to share, he told them: ‘I think we need to have a chat, we should get everyone by the fire pit.’ 

As they sat down, he said: ‘So, I’ve got to speak to you all, obviously we all came here for the same sort of reason but I haven’t really been feeling like I’ve been giving 100% Liam. I know what 100% Liam looks like and I am miles off that.

‘I literally feel like you’re missing out on 90% of what normal Liam offers. I’ve been thinking long and hard, like this isn’t a spur of the moment type thing. Trying to find someone to leave the villa with that you care about, like obviously, that’s a goal isn’t it?  

‘When you’re not feeling that, I feel like that makes it a very hard sort of time to find that.’

Then delivering the heartbreaking news, he added: ‘So yeah, I’ve made the decision that I am gonna leave the villa.

‘It’s been a breeze, it’s been an absolute ball, you are all unreal.’

The islanders were left reeling in shock and after taking in the news, went to give their pal a hug after his huge decision. 

After his reveal, Liam shared a quiet moment with Gemma in which she told him: ‘I wasn’t expecting that from you’ to which he confessed: ‘I am not myself at all.’  

She then added: ‘That’s like a big decision’, with Liam replying: ‘Yeah, it’s been brewing though.’

It's not you, it's me: Liam also sat down Gemma Owen , who he was formerly coupled up with, and told her 'I am not myself at all' before reassuring her that his decision was not based on her being in a new couple with Davide Sanclimenti

Gemma then shared how she felt upon his exit, saying: ‘It’s just a shame because obviously we get on well and we started it together, it’s going to be weird to see you go and not have you around. It’s going to be different.’

The dressage rider then admitted that she felt it was her fault he was leaving as she uttered: ‘I just from my point of view like, I almost feel a bit like sh*t, have I done anything.’

But Liam was quick to reassure her that the decision was entirely his own, telling her: ‘Don’t be stupid, you are an amazing girl, honestly.’

He added: ‘You’ve got nothing to worry about, that’s not even crossed my mind and it shouldn’t cross yours either. Shall we hug it out?’
