Love Island viewers sent into a frenzy by latest bombshell Matilda Draper as they dub her and show sweetheart Sean Stone the new 'power couple'
Love Island's latest bombshell Matilda Draper has sent fans into a frenzy as they are already shipping the newest arrival with show 'sweet' heart Sean Stone.
The Recruitment Consultant, 24, shook the villa when she entered the Mallorca property alongside fellow bombshell Konnor Ewudzi, 28, and sat down to enjoy three tasty courses with three Islanders each, of their choosing.
Matilda chose Omar Nyame for the starter, Sean for her main and Wil Anderson for dessert.
Sean wasted no time with the new arrival as he dished out a tasty steak, complete with a ketchup love heart, alongside some classic pickup lines.
The pair already appear to be hitting it off on a spiritual level as Sean said to Matilda: 'I’ve got this thing right, where I pick people’s sweets based on what they look like…I’m getting some good vibes…'

And while Matilda seems to be smitten with Sean's sweety jokes, fans have not always been the biggest fan and have sometime been left cringing.
He has been unlucky in love so far in the villa, turning his attentions to Harriet Blackmore after things between her and Ronnie Vint turned sour.
And during Tuesday's episode of the dating show, Sean also showed interest in new girl Tiffany Leighton.
'You're like a fizzy peach, do you know what I mean?' Sean said, infusing his day job into his flirty talk.
'I think I'm a bit of a fizzy peach,' Tiffany replied, to which he said: 'Do you? I think you are you've got a bit of a peach on you.'

Taking to X, they wrote: 'Sean get rid of sweet puns 2k24,';

LOVE ISLAND 2024: MEET THE CONTESTANTS
NAME: Mimii Ngulube
AGE: 24
FROM: Portsmouth
OCCUPATION: Mental Health Nurse
WHY LOVE ISLAND? The pool in Portsmouth is not giving. I've tried dating and speaking to people on social media and it just hasn't been successful. Applying was a spontaneous thing, I didn't expect to get here!
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? My girls are my rocks and I'm theirs, so I'll be a good friend as well as going in there to find a man. I like dressing up, so I'll bring style, and I'd like to think I'm quite funny so I'll make people laugh. Bringing honesty as well - I'm good at picking up on people's personality traits and side-eyeing those who might be liars.
NAME: Sean Stone
AGE: 24
FROM: Hertford
OCCUPATION: Sweets Salesman
WHY LOVE ISLAND? I've always been one for relationships, and when you have found someone you want to be with it's the best feeling. Now is the perfect time, the one thing that is missing is my soulmate.
HOW WOULD FRIENDS/FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? Very loving, caring and thoughtful. I'm the kind of guy that, if you broke down on the motorway and needed your tyre changed, I'd be there at any time of night.
NAME: Ayo Odukoya
AGE: 25
FROM: Canning Town
OCCUPATION: Model
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? I think I'd bring excitement and joy. I think people would have someone to come to and talk to and feel comfortable being around or to have a laugh with. I think I'm somebody everyone would take to.
WHY SHOULD SOMEBODY DATE YOU? I feel like the way I carry myself is very respectful and I think people take to that and once you show who you are to somebody you get it back tenfold. The way I am gives off a good enough energy for people to feel comfortable around me.
NAME: Nicole Samuel
AGE: 24
FROM: Aberdare, Wales
OCCUPATION: Accounts Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I've been enjoying single life and the attention of different boys, it's fun. I've enjoyed being able to go on holiday with the girls and not having to worry about someone back home. All the girls are there texting in their room and I'm out till 4 in the morning living my best life.
WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? I became a world champion dancer in 2011, not many people know that. I was a professional street dancer.
NAME: Jess White
AGE: 25
FROM: Stockport
OCCUPATION: Retail Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I don't underestimate the fact that I'm hard work. I know what I want, and I'm not easily pleased. When you're a loud, outgoing woman, sometimes it can intimidate men - men don't always want that.
WHAT'S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? I love a set of white Turkey teeth but a good set of Turkey teeth. I would say, personality traits: you have to be family orientated. You have to be tall, you can't be shorter than me, I can't be having to question whether I can wear heels around you and what height of heels I can wear. If you're vertically challenged, it's not for me.
NAME: Ciaran Davies
AGE: 21
FROM: Pencoed, South Wales
OCCUPATION: Surveyor
WHAT'S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? Obviously looks but humour is a big thing for me, I'm a bit of a wind up so I want a girl who can give it back. Loyalty is another one for me: I think that's the most important thing to look for in a relationship.
WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? When I was in Malia on a boys holiday I pretended to be Liam Reardon from series 7 to get into a club because they wouldn't let us in. It worked and we ended up getting a private booth and free drinks all night.
NAME: Uma Jammeh
AGE: 23
FROM: Islington, North London
OCCUPATION: VIP host / model
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I feel like I've been so unlucky in love! It's all been underwhelming so far. I don't know what the reason is, I think it's them, as it can't be me!
CLAIM TO FAME? I was born in a closet in the hospital! There were no rooms left, my poor mum!
NAME: Joey Essex
AGE: 33
FROM: Chigwell, Essex
OCCUPATION: Reality star
CLAIM TO FAME? The Only Way Is Essex
FAMOUS EXES: Joey was in a relationship with fellow TOWIE star Sam Faiers from 2011 to 2014 with the pair getting engaged before they split. He has also been spotted locking lips with former Love Island stars Ellie Brown and Maura Higgins. He also dated his Dancing On Ice pro partner Vanessa Bauer.
NAME: Grace Jackson
AGE: 25
FROM: Manchester
OCCUPATION: Model and social media marketing coordinator
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? No guys have good communication and it's painful. I like someone who doesn't take themselves and life too seriously. My lifestyle can put guys off a little bit, I like to go out and go abroad a lot. They can't keep up with my lifestyle. It's the life that I want, and it helps with my business.
NAME: Wil Anderson
AGE: 23
FROM: Whitley Bay, Tyne And Wear
OCCUPATION: Quantity surveyor
WHY DID YOU WANT TO GO ON LOVE ISLAND? I wanted to be single for the last year because I’ve been in two serious relationships from the age of 18 but, now I feel like it’s time to put myself back out there. I want to feel that love again
NAME: Matilda Draper
AGE: 24
FROM: Beckenham
OCCUPATION: Recruitmant Consultant
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'LL BRING? I want to bring sunshine to the Villa. I’m lighthearted and don’t take myself too seriously. If things get too serious in the Villa I’m going to throw in a little joke or a ‘would you rather’.
NAME: Konnor Ewudzi
AGE: 28
FROM: Cornwall
OCCUPATION: Barber
WHY LOVE ISLAND AND WHY NOW? I am ready to find somebody. I’ve been in a couple of relationships and now feels like the right time as I have learnt from past relationships. I’ll be able to pick out the red flags now.
NAME: Trey Norman
AGE: 24
FROM: Doncaster
OCCUPATION: Commercial Insurance Broker
WHAT KIND OF ISLANDER ARE YOU GOING TO BE? I’d say I’m charming and someone that goes after what they want, I’m not afraid to articulate my feelings. I'm going to the Villa to find the girl of my dreams so it may ruffle feathers with the boys.
NAME: Jessy Potts
AGE: 25
FROM: Leicester
OCCUPATION: Brand Partnerships Associate
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WILL BRING TO THE VILLA? I’m fun, I like to get involved, so I’d like to think I will get stuck in as soon as I arrive. I also have a very sarcastic sense of humour, so I’ll make everyone laugh, but I’m a Sagittarius, so I also have a fiery side and I'm not afraid to say what I think or stand my ground. I’m not very good at taking 'no' for an answer.
