A new Bombshell named Jared arrived in the Love Island Australia Season 8 villa, and a tatted Brad Pitt crashes the Islanders' week in the eyes of at least one housemate. Keanu shouted that he "looks like a tatted up Brad Pitt" as the newcomer walked in.

Jared made his intentions clear on arrival. "I'm here to stir the pot," he said.

A Bombshell with a connection

Amanda was the first to react. "He's 25, he's tall, and his face was giving Aussie Justin Bieber," she said.

Nat then revealed she already knows Jared through mutual friends. That makes him a handy pawn to act as a "threat" to her partner, Jack. "I'm just keen to walk in with you, I think that's funny," Nat said, and Jared agreed to the plan.

The Kissing Queen challenge

Jared's welcome present was a job: judge and crown this year's Love Island Kissing Queen. He sat blindfolded on a throne while the women took turns kissing him, and the best kisser would win the crown.

The men did not enjoy watching. "I'm f--king scared," Jordan said.

Sammi's turn drew mixed reactions from the boys. Jack admitted: "I wish it was me up there." Amanda had promised to keep her turn "cute and classy".

Nat goes for the one-up

Nat's turn was less restrained. "Originally, I just planned on giving him a pec," she said. "But I saw all the ways the boys were reacting to that sexy side of Sammi, I have to one-up her."

Jack watched from the sidelines and told the cameras: "I couldn't watch any more." Sammi called the moment "so embarrassing". Nat wiped her lips afterward, and Jack looked to be rethinking his life choices.

Jared, unaware of the drama, then announced the result. Phoebe came second and Ava took the Kissing Queen crown.

The Islanders cheered, but Nat was not celebrating. She told Jack she did not enjoy the kiss with Jared and only wanted to "one-up" Sammi.

What comes next

The following episode promises dates, decisions and a dumping. It also brings a secret that could send the villa into meltdown.

Host Sophie Monk teased the reveal: "One couple has been keeping a secret from the rest of you."
