New Love Island contestant Angelique 'Angel' Swift has been linked to reality star Dan Edgar, best known for his role on The Only Way Is Essex, just weeks before entering the villa. The 26-year-old blonde bombshell joined the ITV dating show this week, quickly catching the eye of fellow contestants.
Reports suggest Angel had been casually dating Dan Edgar, 35, who has appeared on TOWIE since 2015. The pair allegedly spent time together during a May bank holiday in Marbella and attended various events. A friend of Angel told The Sun: 'They were together ... it was casual dating but they had fun together.' However, a source close to Dan described it as 'just one date really, and it was after he split from Ella'—referring to his former TOWIE co-star Ella Rae Wise, whom he dated until early this year.
Angel's arrival in the villa has already stirred drama, particularly with contestant Harry Cooksley, who is currently coupled up with Helena Ford. During a private chat, Harry made suggestive comments about spooning, and Angel confessed she develops feelings when she sleeps with someone. Harry joked about holding off on the spooning, adding 'I want to stay here with you,' leaving fans wondering about his future with Helena.
The Mirror has contacted representatives for both Dan and Love Island for comment. The show continues Sunday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
