Bombshell Spencer Wilks made his way into the Love Island villa, but he’s not the only well-known member of the family, he has a famous cousin, James Wilks.
Spencer made his grand entrance into the villa alongside bombshell Ellie. The pair arrived just before a re-coupling, and tonight’s episode (January 26) will show viewers who they’ve decided to couple up with.
Before that, we take a closer look at Spencer and his famous cousin.
Who is Spencer’s cousin?
Spencer’s cousin is MMA fighter, James Wilks. James was a professional MMA fighter from 2003 until 2012 when he had to retire due to injury.
When asked by ITV if he has any claims to fame, Spencer said: “My cousin won the ultimate fighter, the UFC, back in the day. He did a documentary, The Game Changers, on Netflix.”
The 2018 documentary showcased athletes going vegan, and James is now a vegan activist alongside his wife, Alicia.
Spencer isn’t the only Islander with a famous relative
Islanders from previous Love Island series have also had famous relatives.
Dani Dyer, winner of season 4 is the daughter of actor Danny Dyer. Football legend Michael Owen’s daughter Gemma also featured last season, finishing in second place with ex-boyfriend Luca.
Tyson Fury’s brother, Tommy Fury, was in the villa in series 5. He came in second place with partner Molly-Mae, and the pair are due to have a baby anytime soon.
The bombshell is set to cause a stir in the villa
Of course, there’s no point in being a bombshell if you’re not going to cause drama.
And that’s exactly what Ellie and Spencer are going to do on tonight’s episode (January 26) when they’re given first dibs in a dramatic recoupling.
Fans on Twitter are hoping he picks Zara to cause some chaos, but we’ll have to wait and see!
