Posted by Zora Stowers on Thursday, March 28, 2024

BOMBSHELL Antigoni Buxton makes her debut on ITV's Love Island tonight, but the beauty already has a link to another show.

The singer, 26, has a reality star ex boyfriend who you'll recognise from a Channel 4 series.

Antigoni is set to shake up things in the villa, with her entrance teased at the end of Tuesday night's episode.

Like Gemma Owen, she has a well-known parent - her mum is celebrity chef Tonia Buxton.

Tonia is a regular guest on Sunday Brunch and also the host of the Discovery Channel Travel & Living series My Greek Kitchen and My Cypriot Kitchen.

Not a stranger to high-profile relationships, Antigoni previously dated former Love Islander Jack Fowler for a few months, before their romance eventually fizzled out.

But The Sun can reveal that she's dated another celeb - sexy plumber Jack Tyrimos from Bear Grylls' Treasure Island.

Fellow UK Cypriot Jack starred in the 2019 series of the real-life show, which saw a group of individuals left alone to fend for themselves on a deserted island.

As an added incentive, cash prizes totalling £100,000 would be randomly dropped from the air for the contestants to find and either keep for themselves or share with the other cast members.

Viewers instantly warmed to Jack who made it a point during the series to take care of the less-able islanders.

A source told The Sun: "Antigoni and Jack dated for years - they met as teenagers and split up a year and a half ago.

"They're still really good friends and he doesn't have a bad word to say about her. He loved her family and they're still close."

The insider continued: "They only broke up as their lives were moving in different directions and her singing career was taking off.

"He'll support her on the show, too."

At the end of Tuesday evening's instalment of the show Antigoni made her first appearance on the ITV2 show.

She was introduced at the end of Tuesday's show and was seen striding into the villa before kicking back on a sun lounger.

Antigoni was then seen being discovered by the boys - as the girls gasped at the new arrival from the terrace.

Jay Younger is stopped in his tracks in the morning, raising one arm in the air and yelping: "Woah."

Speaking ahead of her arrival on Love Island, Antigoni revealed why she wanted to do the show.

"I really just want to say ‘yes’ to things. Why not? It’ll be fun. I’m a Cypriot girl and I love being in the sun. I’ve got nothing to lose!"
