Antigoni was signed to Island Records when she was 20 by former president Darcus Beese, the man who also signed Amy Winehouse to the label.
MailOnline has contacted ITV for comment.
During her entrance, Jay Younger was seen saying ‘woah’ as he spotted her in the garden as the girls gathered to watch from the balcony.
Antigoni’s entrance comes amid reports that Love Island bosses are also lining up a new male bombshell named Billy Brown to enter the villa.

According to The Sun, Billy Brown will soon become a new addition to the show for the girls to fight over.
Billy, who is described as a ladies’ man and a fitness fanatic, is already familiar with islander Gemma Owen as the pair follow each other on Instagram – although it’s not clear how well they know each other.
A source said: ‘Billy is a ladies man and he’s definitely going to bring some fireworks into the villa.

Love Island continues on Wednesday at 9pm on ITV2.
