LOVE Island bombshell Jamie Allen is a “huge player” and “desperate for fame”, a pal has claimed.
The 27-year-old footballer arrived in the villa last night as one of four newcomers.
And the girls should be wary of the sportsman as Jamie is said to enjoy his life as an eligible bachelor.
A source said: “Jamie’s been single for ages but always has a girl on the go – he’s a bit of a player like that. He’s not looking to fall in love – everyone thinks he just wants to be famous and be on TV.
“Nobody can understand why he’s ditched his football career to go into a show that’s only got two weeks left to run.”
ITV has been contacted for comment.

Ahead of entering the villa, Jamie explained how competitive he is.
He quit his team Halifax Town’s pre-season preparation to enter the villa and is planning to make the most of his short stint on the show.
He said: “I play football every single day and in terms of stepping on people’s toes we are all in there for the same reason so I wouldn’t have a problem upsetting a few people.
“I am coming in a bit later so I probably will upset a few lads but you gotta do what you gotta do.”
He added: “I shoot, I usually score, if I want something, I’ll go and get it.”
Luca Bish looked concerned as the newbies arrived last night, and he might need to look over his shoulder as footy fan partner Gemma Owen could be in Jamie’s sights.
