The news means Ellie Spence won’t be heading in right now, after receiving the fewest votes from the public.
Macclesfield striker Tom made his entrance just as the contestants had coupled up for the first time – leaving them gobsmacked.
The brand new series kicked off tonight with the first five men arriving.
Shaq Muhammad, a 24-year-old airport security officer and 21-year-old TV salesman Haris Namani, from Doncaster, are up first.

They are followed by 23-year-old farmer and TikTok star Will Young, 25-year-old financial adviser from Essex Ron Hall and finally Kai Fagan, a 24-year-old science and PE teacher from Manchester.
After arriving at the villa, the men begin to get to know each other before witnessing a dramatic entrance from Maya Jama, who is taking over from Laura Whitmore as she arrives by helicopter.
After landing, Maya begins to quiz the male islanders and finds out what they are looking for from the girls, who are set to arrive imminently.
When asked what his type is, Shaq says: "I go for more personality and vibes but she's definitely got to be funny, funny is top of my list, I love it."

Meanwhile Haris revealed he has never been in a relationship, and Kai candidly shares that he is "looking for a wifey".
After getting to know the men, Maya says: "Well boys, it is time to couple up, the girls will come in one by one and I'll ask you to step forward if you fancy them.
"Each girl will then decide which boy she wants to couple up with. It's that simple."
The five women make their entrance into the villa, with 22-year-old biomedical science student Tanya Manhenga leading the pack.
Tanya is followed by Anna-May Robey, a 20-year-old payroll administrator from Swansea, Lana Jenkins, a 25-year-old make-up artist from Luton, and Olivia Hawkins, a 27-year-old actress from Brighton.
The female line-up is completed by 26-year-old hair-stylist Tanyel Revan from London.
The first couples of the series are Ron and Lana, Tanya and Shaq. Anna-May and Haris, Tanyel and Kai and Olivia and Will.
But just as they start to get to know each other Tom makes his entrance – will heads turn already?
