LOVE Island’s new bombshell Antigoni Buxton has a long history in the limelight, including a relationship with Jack Fowler, and a cosy friendship with Anthony Joshua.
Rumours have abound that the new bombshell shared a short-lived but passionate romance with Love Island 2019 star, Jack Fowler.
Even previous Love Island contestants have seen her somewhere before, with 2019 winner Amber Gill tweeting: “Do we know who the new girl is #loveisland I’m sure I saw something about this chick somewhere.”
Antigoni also has a famous parent. Her mum, celebrity chef Tonia Buxton, regularly appears on the Channel 4 show, Sunday Brunch.
Prior to entering the Villa, Antigoni spent nine years with her childhood sweetheart, before splitting things off to focus on her career.
“I’ve only ever been in love once – I don’t think I’ve been in love since. I think I fall in lust and infatuation quickly,” she said.

Love Island’s Laura Whitmore defends herself from ‘humiliation’ criticism
Laura Whitmore has been criticised by Love Island fans.
On the departure show, Aftersun, Laura Whitmore introduced Remi Lambert.
Due to such a short stint on Love Island, Remi didn’t have the opportunity to really show who he was, apart from one freestyle rap.
So on Aftersun, Whitmore asked Remi to do another one. The contestant was unable to think of a final line leading fans to criticise Laura.
One said: “Hope #LoveIsland supports Remi. He looked broken on #Loveislandaftersun. Asking him to rap was done in bad faith and to humiliate. I thought @thewhitmore & crew were supposed to ‘BE KIND’”
Laura responded defending herself though: “Remi is a rapper and asked in good faith in advance if he’d rap and prepare something which he did.”
She added: “Live Telly is nerve wrecking, believe me, so maybe he was a bit nervous but he deserved to have his time. Also I want to make Remi & Afia happen!”
