Model and actress Molly Marsh is reportedly in final talks about joining the lineup for the new series of Love Island.
The ITV2 dating show returns for its summer edition in a matter of weeks, with producers flying out a new crop of islanders to Mallorca towards the end of the month.
According to The Sun, among the likely contestants is 24-year-old Marsh, an established panto performer who coincidentally visited the winter edition's villa earlier this year.
A show source told the newspaper: "Molly was scouted after visiting the villa in South Africa earlier this year. She was on the tour as an invited guest when she caught the eyes of producers.
"Molly made it clear she would love to be a part of Love Island and she was told to audition. After going through the process, she's now a shoo-in to fly to Mallorca later this month.
"She is a star on the rise and comes from a showbiz family - her mum Janet even had small roles on Coronation Street and Still Open All Hours.
"Molly has made it clear she's got what it takes to make a bang and ITV love her."
The new series begins on ITV2 and ITVX on Monday, June 5.
