Teddy is perhaps one of the most unexpected names on the lineup, with the ex-Islander staying in the shadows of the influencer world after his appearance over 4 years ago.
He was in a relationship with fellow Islander Faye Winter for a year-and-a-half after their show, with fans not too keen on their dynamic.
So, his return to the show would be met with great excitement by viewers, who are hoping to see him find love.
