Tommy Fury and Curtis Pritchard will be late Love Island arrivals

Curtis Pritchard and Tommy Fury will stun the ‘Love Island’ contestants tonight (03.06.19) when they enter the villa as late arrivals, as the show’s fifth series kicks off.
The 23-year-old pro dancer and the 20-year-old boxer – who both have famous brothers, Strictly Come Dancing’s AJ Pritchard and boxing champion Tyson Fury – will enter the Majorcan paradise after the initial 10 Islanders have coupled up, sending shockwaves through the villa.
Amber Gill, 21, will receive a text teasing the pair’s imminent arrival.
The message reads: "Islanders, it’s time for the real games to begin. Please welcome your new arrivals. #DoubleTrouble #BoxFresh #HotToFoxtrot (sic)"
Curtis and Tommy then head into the villa, much to their recently coupled-up Islanders’ surprise.
Michael Griffiths, 27, says: "Nobody was expecting that! Like nobody at all."
Lucie says: "It’s been such a full-on day. There have been bevs [attractive lads] coming in everywhere and then two guys come in … who are also bevs."
Earlier in the episode, Sherif Lanre, 20, will confess he already knows of fellow Islander Anna Vakili, because he follows the 28-year-old pharmacist on Instagram, and she seems shocked by his omissions.
Referring to the first coupling, he says: "I wasn’t going to say out there."
Reflecting on the news in the Beach Hut, she says: "He just brought it out so casually.
"Like, ‘Yeah I follow you on Instagram.’
"I was flattered but I didn’t expect it coming in here, that someone would follow me on Instagram. When I do go out, I do tend to get that a lot."
During the coupling, all 10 Islanders manage to couple up, and Lucie Donlan, 21, looks to be particularly in demand.
Joe Garratt, 22, manages to pluck up the courage to have a one-on-one chat with her, during which the pair discuss the possibility of the surfer teaching him how to ride the waves, after an initial misunderstanding.
Anton Danyluk also takes a shine to Lucie.
The 24-year-old gym owner says: "My initial attraction was towards you."
Lucie replies: "Oh really?"
Anton says: "A million per cent. I wanted to see if you’re attracted to me."
Lucie then says: "Yeah definitely. You walked in and we were all like ‘Oh my God, look at him’ You’re very good looking."
And while Tommy is to be a late entry on Monday night, he could be the last one out of the villa on the show’s finale if betting experts Bookmakers.tv are correct.
They believe the boxer have what it takes to go the distance in the villa because he has numerous similarities to previous male winners Jack Fincham and Kem Cetinay.
All four winners have had dark hair, the last two have Taurus as their star sign, as does Tommy, and all four have been under 25.
Bookies appear to agree, putting Tommy up as a 3/1 favourite for be the top man.
‘Love Island’ airs Monday (03.06.19) at 9pm on ITV2.
