Joshua was one of the original Islanders in 2015 and has since made a name for himself on reality TV shows including Ex on the Beach and Celebs Go Dating – and because of his highly publicised romances.

Hannah, Georgia Steel and Georgia Harrison, who is Joshua’s ex-girlfriend, will leave the villa to take turns in dating the newbie
But while they are still unaware who the new bombshell is, will Georgia H be happy to see its her ex?
He dated fellow All Stars contestant Georgia, who admitted she would be keen to couple up with him if he made an appearance, and Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby, 33, for two years between 2017 and 2019.
Producers are hoping that Georgia will hit it off with Joshua after Chris Taylor, who she fancies, continues to pursue new arrival Molly Smith – and Josh will happily step on the toes of his fellow Islanders when it comes to finding love, declaring: ‘If somebody’s in a couple it definitely will not stop me. I always get what I want.’
But many fans were left baffled at the end of Wednesday’s episode as they did not know who Joshua was.
One person asked on Twitter: ‘I didn’t watch season 1. How’s Josh like?’
While someone else posted: ‘Who TF is Josh.’
Another person wrote: ‘HOW do some of you not know who Josh is. Even from ex on the beach???’
Georgia was forced to deny speculation she was expecting her first baby with Joshua in 2022 after she was photographed at an event holding her stomach and joked on social media about becoming a mum.
A TV source told MailOnline: ‘Joshua is the latest bombshell signing.

‘He has come on board very much at the last minute, which is exactly how the show works, the producers are constantly reacting to what’s happening in the villa.
‘It’s clear from their past that Georgia and Joshua have a spark… the hope is now they’re able to explore their feelings for each other on the show.’
Speaking ahead of the All Stars series, Georgia called Joshua ‘good looking’ and admitted that he would pique her interest.
She said: ‘Joshua Ritchie… I’ve dated before, he’s good looking and my usual type.’
Joshua starred on the very first season of Love Island alongside All Star contestants Hannah Elizabeth and Luis Morrison-Derbyshire.
He came third on the series with Lauren Richardson, who was the ex-fling of One Direction star Zayn Malik.
Jessica Hayes and Max Morley were the first ever winners, but they didn’t stay in a relationship.
