Kady, who appeared on season two of the ITV2 show, made her bombshell entrance into the villa on Friday, after her arrival was confirmed in Thursday’s episode.
She quickly stirred things up as she secretly arrived while the girls were out on a spa day, and did not shy away from quickly getting to know all of the boys.
But just hours after her arrival, she was forced to make a huge decision as she was told she had to steal one of the boys and couple up with them, leaving a girl single.
Kady decided to couple up with Zach Noble, saying he had ‘caught her eye’, despite the personal trainer hinting earlier in the episode that he was settled with Molly.

In a second massive twist, Molly, 24, then received a text telling her she would be immediately dumped from the villa after being left single due to Kady’s decision.
Molly shared the news with her fellow islanders while choking back tears, and the rest of the stars jumped up in complete shock over the huge bombshell.
Fans were equally as astounded as they took to Twitter to share their surprise over the massive twist, saying Molly didn’t deserve to be dumped in such a way.
One viewer wrote: ‘Flippin heck what a twist! Poor Molly,’ while another said: ‘What a season, the producers are producing!’
A third commented: ‘She wasn’t my fave but molly did not deserve to go out like that man,’ while a fourth tweeted: ‘Poor Molly, that is brutal.’
However, other fans expressed their doubt that Molly would really be leaving the villa, saying the ending was far too sudden.
One person speculation: ‘That ending was way too abrupt lmao Molly ain’t leaving.’
The bombshell twist saw Kady, 27, receive a text just hours after her arrival in the villa, telling the islanders to gather around the fire pit.
A second text added: ‘As you are single, you must decide to steal a boy of your choice to couple up with.’

Making her decision, Kady then dropped the bombshell that she wanted to steal Zach, 25, from Molly and couple up with him, leaving the actress single.
She said: ‘I’ve not even been here 24 hours so it’s a hard decision, I’m still deciding now in my head to be honest.
‘I’m going on the initial attraction and like someone I probably want to get to know more.
‘This boy has caught my eye and he is someone I would be attracted to on the outside world, and I’m eager to get to know them more.
‘So the boy I would like to couple up with is… Zachariah.’
However, the villa was then shook by the second huge twist as Molly received a text telling her she was immediately dumped from the island after being left single.
Earlier in the episode, Zach had told the boys he was quite settled with Molly and seemed to hint that he wasn’t as interested in getting to know Kady as they were.
Zach told some of the boys that he was focused on his romance Molly and said he would simply have a chat with the new bombshell.
He was then seen telling Kady all about his relationship with Molly, detailing their day the day before as he appeared settled with his partner.
However, the pair were later seen having a flirty exchange and Zach told Molly that she should also chat to other people when they come in, even if he doesn’t ‘like it’.
Before entering the villa, Kady had confessed that Zach was her ‘number one’ option, saying he seemed the ‘most chilled’ out of all the islanders.
She said: ‘Zach’s my number one, Tyrique on looks, but he might need his ego putting down a little bit. I also want to get to know Mitch.
‘Age is a big thing for me, immaturity in a man for me, it’s just a complete no. I don’t like boys that are too cheeky, I just don’t trust them. Zach seems the most chilled and and is nice to look at.’
Settled: Earlier in the episode, Zach had told the boys he was quite settled with Molly and seemed to hint that he wasn’t as interested in getting to know Kady as they were

Kady’s bombshell entrance into the villa caused a massive stir, as Ella Thomas was also left upset by Tyrique Hyde saying he wanted to get to know her.
Kady had made her grand arrival into the villa at the start of the episode, while the girls were away from the villa on a relaxing spa day, unaware of her entrance.
She strutted into the villa and introduced herself to the boys while the girls were away enjoying a spa day, completely unaware of Kady’s arrival.
As she walked into the villa, the boys were seen looking stunned as they turned around to see who had walked in.
Waving at the boys, she left them speechless as she said: ‘Alright boys, who’s ready for a pocket rocket!’
Scott Van Der Sluis was the first person to realise it was non other than former Love Island contestant Kady, who appeared on the show’s second series.
He told the boys: ‘It’s f**king Kady, that’s Kady!’
When asked why she was in the villa, as it dawned on the boys who she was, to which she replied: ‘Love didn’t work out, so I’m back!’
Kady, 27, then wasted no time as she asked the boys if they were closed off in their couples or if they were willing to get to know her.
Tyrique, who is coupled up with Ella, told Kady that although he is happy, he is not completely closed off.
His confession prompted gasps from some of the boys, after Tyrique recently told Ella that he wanted to solely focus on her.
Tyrique then suggested that all the boys take a selfie and send it to the girls on their spa day, with their partners being left shocked after seeing the new arrival.
The girls arrived back in the villa to meet Kady, with her keeping her cards close to her chest as she said she found ‘all the boys’ attractive.
As the girls spoke to Kady, the boys predicted that Ella, 23, and Molly would feel the most threatened by Kady’s arrival as she quickly stirred up the drama.
Upset: Ella was left angry after catching up with Tyrique, candidly admitting she was not expecting him to tell her that he was open to get to know Kady
Heads turning? Tyrique was then seen having a chat with Kady, with Ella being left annoyed when the pair headed up to the terrace for a private one-to-one chat
Fuming: Ella told the girls: ‘My issue is if he is going to flirt with every bombshell, I’m going to find that embarrassing for myself’
Ella was then left angry after catching up with Tyrique, candidly admitting she was not expecting him to tell her that he was open to get to know Kady.
She appeared visibly upset as he said he wasn’t closed off, before telling her that they had both said they were open, so she shouldn’t be surprised.
Ella replied: ‘Whatever,’ with Tyrique then accusing her of acting annoyed with him, with the pair then getting involved in another blazing row.
To which she fumed: ‘You think you’re going to tell me you’re going to talk to another girl and I’m going to have the same energy… of course I’m off!’
Speaking in the Beach Hut, an upset Ella said: ‘He doesn’t realise a good thing when he has it, is this something I’ll have to experience over and over again.’
Later that evening, Ella told the girls: ‘This open/close thing is difficult, now I think why am I getting upset for nothing?
‘My issue is if he is going to flirt with every bombshell, I’m going to find that embarrassing for myself.’
Tyrique was then seen having a chat with Kady, with Ella being left annoyed when the pair headed up to the terrace for a private one-to-one chat.
Tyrique then confessed to Kady that he does want to get to know her, with Kady joking that she should ‘sign her up’.
Touching base with the boys after, Tyrique said: ‘My head is scrambled.’
Before her grand entrance into the villa, Kady promised to bring back some more of the ‘chaos’ and ‘fiery personality’ she became known for on series two.
Asked why she decided to come back on the show, she said: ‘Not many people can say they’ve been on Love Island, let alone have done it twice!
‘I think I’m known from season two for being so chaotic. People always ask, ‘Do you have regrets?’ expecting me to say yes, but I was so true to myself and I was 100% authentic.
‘I’ll still be like that now, but seven years on, I am more mature. I’m still the fiery pocket rocket but I know what I want and what I don’t want.

‘Don’t get me wrong, I’m still going to be me and the fire I have is in my soul, I’ll never get rid of that and I love that about me, but I’m a lot more emotionally mature now, so I know how to navigate things better. I’ve grown up a lot.
