Casey O'Gorman returned to Love Island during last night's (January 14) episode as the second bombshell of the season, but fans were left gobsmacked as the returning islander stepped into the villa for the third time in three years.

Casey first appeared in the 2023 winter series of the show, and returned for the first edition of All Stars last year, now the 28-year-old is hoping to find a long term girlfriend during his third stunt on the island.

The star sprung into the villa shouting "I'm back" before confessing to his fellow islanders he was "home" and joking that the Villa felt like home to him after three goes.

On arrival many of the islanders looked shocked to see Casey back for the third time, with contestant Olivia Hawkins claiming "Not again!" and Scott Thomas beaming "It's Casey" before running over to greet his pal.

Fans were quick to take to social media and discuss Casey's return, and many were questioning what the producers were thinking with their decision to bring Casey back.

One disappointed fan wrote: "Having Casey as the first male bombshell gives me absolutely no hope for the rest of the bombshell lineup… who asked for this?!"

As another said: "the fact that Casey has spent the last 3 January's in the love island villa..." whilst one chimed in: "Casey doing Love Island back to back to back after bringing absolutely nothing to the table the first 2 times."

Although Casey is hoping this will be his last time in the Love Island Villa, when asked why he wanted to return again he said: "Getting to go in within the first few days of the show, I feel like I’ve got such a big opportunity to find someone and hopefully come out of the Villa potentially with a girlfriend."
