Who is Billy Brown?
Billy Brown is a roofing company director from Surrey.
The Sun exclusively revealed how he was potentially being lined up to enter the villa in June 2022, and he already has a social media connection to one of the girls from the original cast.
He has now joined the show to stir things up at Casa Amor.
Asked what he'll bring to the villa, the 23-year-old said: "I’m going to bring the funniness, the vibes, probably step on a few toes, I’m not going to lie.
"I’ve not got my eye on one girl, it’s all of them! I need to get to know them all."
Explaining why he's taking part in the hit ITV2 series, he said: "I’ve had two girlfriends before, I was obviously going to try and find the lucky third one!"
