Claudia returns with two bombshells
After being dramatically asked to leave the Villa when Holly chose her partner Jordan to Couple Up with, we learn some shocking news – Claudia is not going anywhere.
Shortly after leaving with her suitcase in hand and tears in her eyes, she receives a text saying she's about to be rescued by two hunky Bombshells who are also looking for love. What a time to be alive!

She's soon greeted by Callum, 24, a pool boy from Wales, and Tak, 22, a rapper from Brisbane.
"Let's go back in the Villa!" Tak says, to which she replies: "Wait we're going now?! Shut the f--k up, everyone is going to die!"
To say she's relieved is an understatement, and to say the girls are excited to see the strapping lads' arrival is an even bigger one.
"Claudia didn't just come back with a snack, she came back with a meal!" Jessica says upon seeing the Bombshells. "I'm ready to dig into that meal. I'm hungry!"

The original boys seem a little threatened upon seeing the ripped new Islanders, and Jordan even jokes, "If he tried to cuddle Claudia tonight..." while mimicking an elbow to the face. Stay smooth, Jordan.
"He's f--king jacked. He's f--king jacked!" Austen then says about Callum. "Where do they make these guys from, factories or something?"
Callum's red flag antics
New boy Callum certainly isn't afraid to speak his mind, and he does just that when chatting to Claudia and Tak by the pool.
"Is it more personality or looks for you?" Claudia asks him, to which he responds without hesitation: "Nah, it's all about looks!"
"At least you're not a liar..." Claudia awkwardly adds.
Claudia is left unimpressed with Callum's red flag antics. Nine
But he's not done there, adding: "Personality will never attract me first. I always have somebody that looks the part, and then after I get to know them... I wouldn't go up to a bird in a club, and go 'Ahh, she's got good banter I want to talk to her'. No way.
"You're going to go into a club, scout out who's the hottest one and you know where you're going. If their personality is s--t, it's s--t, but you're still with a hot bird. I just say what everybody is thinking."
The comment is certainly a red flag for Claudia, who says in the Beach Hut: "I don't think I want to get to know Callum.
"He's pretty to look at, but I don't think there's really much on the inside and that's what I'm looking for. Not that he's looking for that!"
Conor makes a move on Stella
Despite getting on well with Jessica – and sharing the first smooch of the season – Conor decides to make a move on Stella after he sees Jess talking to Bombshell Tak.
But he doesn't try to get to know her on a personal level, oh no. He just goes in guns blazing and asks her if she wants to Recouple. Who says romance is dead?
Stella is surprised at Conor's revelation. Nine

"You think I'm different to when you first met me?" she asks, to which he bluntly replies: "Yeah. You straightened your hair. Your hair straightening changed everything for me.
"You just look life a different person," he adds, leaving her visibly unimpressed.
Then, he bursts out with this absolute clanger.
"I reckon I'm going to Couple Up with you," he smiles. Where did that come from?
Conor says he wants to Couple Up with Stella. Nine
"You need to get to know me first!" she replies, before raging in the Beach Hut: "You don't tell me what to do? For some reason it makes me want to kiss Andre or cuddle him in bed but I don't know why!"
