All original cast members arrived on the beach during the first episode where they were instantly told that they would soon be joined by their exes. Laura's ex-fling Jemma Lucy arrived at the villa during the first episode. This is the first time a same-sex ex has featured in the show. Also arriving in the first episode was Jordan Davies, an ex-boyfriend of Amy wanting to cause some trouble. Marty McKenna arrived during the next episode as the ex-romance of Jemma, then his ex-girlfriend Sarah Goodhart showed up during the third episode desperate to win back his affection. After much anticipation Cami-Li arrived at the beach during the fourth episode and instantly erupted at ex-fiancée Kirk. Soon after this, Kirk and Jemma's brief romance in the villa came to an end and they were added to each other's ex-list. The fifth episode featured the Tablet of Terrors new twist, which allowed Jordan to choose to send somebody home between Jayden and Megan M. He chose Jayden. As well as this, Jordan's ex-girlfriend Ali Drew made her first appearance at the beach, and Griff's ex Holly Rickwood arrived seeking his attention. Star of first series and Geordie Shore, Vicky Pattison arrived during the sixth episode as the ex-girlfriend of Kirk, but due to his ongoing arguments in the house, he voluntarily decided to leave the villa. Megan R's ex-boyfriend Stephen Cochrane made his debut during the seventh episode unsure of his intentions, and Marty was forced to leave the villa due to illness. The villa was left in shock during the eighth episode when the Tablet of Terror ordered Ali to send one of the exes home; she chose Vicky. Following this, Cami-Li decided to leave the beach having completed her mission to make Kirk's life a misery. Star of the second series, Rogan O'Connor also turned up on the beach as Jemma's ex.
