Singer Rita Ora will surprise the Love Island contestants with a private performance on the ITV reality show, it has been announced.

The pop star was teased as a "new arrival" to the villa ahead of Tuesday's episode.

In a short preview clip, the singer greets the shocked contestants before singing and dancing by the pool.

The news follows the release of Ora's third studio album, You & I, which arrived on 14 July and included the single Praising You.

Ora previously had a connection with one of the 2023 Love Island contestants, Leah Taylor, who entered the villa in June.

The business owner said she had previously danced with the singer at the MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs).

Taylor was dumped from the villa last week.

The 2023 series has so far seen a dramatic post-Casa Amor recoupling and accusations of "alleged bullying" following the movie night.

UK media watchdog Ofcom said it had received nearly 1,000 complaints, with the majority related to "alleged bullying" towards contestant Scott van-der-Sluis.

Love Island continues at 9pm on Virgin Media Two and ITV2.
