Meet Love Island's BRAND NEW hunk Teddy Soares!

Love Island is instaling a brand new hunk into the villa on Friday night.

Teddy Soares, 26, hails from Manchester and works as a Senior Financial Consultant.

The newbie was teased at the end of Thursday night’s show – but in a pre-show chat he kept his cards close to his chest about who he’s got his eye on.

‘I want to get to know all of the girls. I’m not afraid to step on toes to get the girl I want,’ he said, vaguely.

Teddy went on: ‘I think I’m ready for love now. Law of attraction is probably what I believe in, so being in the villa is part of that thought process. I’m not getting any younger.

‘I’ve always been the type of guy to be in long relationships. Never broken three years though. If I do find someone in the villa, I’m going to take it seriously.

‘I’m cuddly, caring and all my friends, when they have an issue, they call me and confide in me. I’m always that person to lean on. I think I’m going to add that element with the boys.

‘From a girls’ standpoint, they’re going to have to get used to me stirring a few pots and causing a bit of a ruckus. I do think hopefully, me walking into the villa the girls will have something to look at!’

Love Island saw tensions rising on Thursday night as Chloe announced she had a soft spot for Toby, who has been coupled up with Kaz since day one.

This led to high drama in the villa as word got out – with Kaz branding Chloe a ‘snake in the grass’, Chloe locking horns with Faye over it, and Toby telling the boys he had ‘no sexual attraction’ to Kaz.

Toby then told Kaz he’d like to get to know Chloe before taking her off to the balcony to share a steamy smooch.

At the start of the episode, Lucinda asked Chloe: ‘So, what’s going on with you? Do you fancy anyone in here?’

‘Maybe. My type is Toby. He is my type on paper but I just love Kaz,’ Chloe replied.

She then pulled Toby for a chat, during which he told her: ‘Out of all the girls here, you intrigue me the most.’

‘I want to get to know you. Do you want to get to know me?’ Chloe asked him, to which he replied that he did.

Over it: Toby told the boys he had ‘no sexual attraction’ to Kaz

Later, a task saw the girls pick a boy to kiss, with Kaz selecting Toby and Chloe following suit.

This left Kaz seething from the sidelines, later seen in the beach cut branding Chloe ‘shady’ and insisting she ‘has no girl code’.

The claws then came out in the evening, with Kaz scolding Chloe for kissing Toby on the lips.

‘You could have kissed his cheek or his hand!’ she said.

‘No girl code!’ Kaz disappeared into the Beach Hut to brand Chloe a ‘snake in the grass’

Meanwhile, the boys asked Toby how he feels about the two women, saying that there was no spark between him and Kaz, and that he is very attracted to Chloe.

Chloe, sat with Lucinda, Millie and Rachel, then said she’d like to take Toby for a one-on-one following her chat with Kaz.

Rachel – who has been struggling with a triangle between Brad and Lucinda herself – advised against it, and then went to talk to Faye about it.

Toby then informed Kaz that he feels their romance is moving ‘too slow’ and that he’d like to explore things with Chloe.

And explore things he did, taking her for a smooch upstairs with an embittered Kaz branded herself ‘a single gal’ in front of the others – just as new boy Teddy is set to enter the show on Friday night.

Love Island continues nightly at 9PM on ITV2.
