Charlie is best mates with MIC fan favourite Miles Nazaire, who joined the show back in season 15. Miles showed his support for the new islander by reacting to his arrival on Wednesday night via his Instagram Story. 

"The secret is out, Charlie is on Love Island," he told his 200k followers. "We've known for weeks and it's been killing us to not say anything.

"Me and the boys obviously knew this and this is why he's not been on social media or we haven't been hanging out with him.

Speaking about his decision to join this year's show, the new arrival told ITV: "It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity - I’ve got to give it a go. I date quite a lot in London and I’ve been single for three years, so I’m not having that much success in that department, so why not try something new."

He also added that he's ready to "settle down".
