Well, our time in the villa this year may be winding down but Love Island 2022 still has some tricks up its sleeve.
It seems the Love Island cast will be expanding with only weeks to go as four new bombshells will arrive in the villa in the episode on Wednesday night (20th July 2022).
Two new boys and two new girls are bound to shake things up, especially in the wake of a double dumping which will see the islanders choose one boy and one girl to send home out of Billy Brown, Dami Hope, Danica Taylor and Summer Botwe. Which couple will survive?
In the meantime, here is everything you need to know about one of the newcomers, Lacey Edwards.

Why is Lacey Edwards going into Love Island?
Lacey Edwards told ITV before entering the villa: “I’ve been dancing all over the world since I was 18 when I moved to France, I recently came to one of the ends of my contracts in France and I was like I am really ready to meet someone, and my friends were like, ‘Why haven’t you applied for Love Island before? You’re literally perfect for it.’”
On what she can bring to the villa, Lacey added: “Being a dancer you always have to fight for the role, or fight for the job and you have to believe in yourself, you need confidence.
“I am literally just going to bring all of that into the villa. I am bringing all my confidence, all my chat and I might do the splits occasionally to get some attention…”
Watch out, Danica!
Who does Lacey Edwards have her eye on?
Lacey has yet to reveal who she is interested in getting to know, but she knows how to impress.
“I would just talk to someone, I’ve got really, really good chat and they would be able to see my personality through that,” revealed Lacey. “I might show them my party trick, we will have to see about that.”
The professional dancer also knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to get it.

“I am definitely competitive, probably too much even at mini golf. I’ve grown up at auditions with a thousand girls competing for five places and if you don’t want it and you’re not competitive, there’s no point showing up.
“I feel like it’s the same with guys within this context, we’ve all gone in to find someone and just because I am coming in later does not mean that I am not going to give it my all. There’s no problem with stepping on toes, I am a dancer, I can avoid them…”
