Teasing his arrival, Giorgio can be seen wearing a white T-Shirt and sporting a beaming grin, as he shared he hopes to make heads turn inside the villa.
Speaking ahead of his arrival, Giorgio said: "I've got the looks, I've got the charm, I've got the body so girls, get ready to meet your man."

The account manager also said he hopes to find a partner who has an interest in sport.
"My sister plays pro football, so being interested in sport, they don’t have to know football or understand it, but if they can show some sort of interest because it is such a prominent thing in our family," he told ITV.
"It would be hard if they hated it. Other green flags are having a nice family, I’m sick of being the 7th wheel in my own family!"
The 30-year-old, who is originally from Maidstone, Kent, currently lives in Sydney, Australia.
He entered the villa alongside Caprice Alexandra, Poppy Harrison and Will Means during last night's episode.
A preview shows Giorgio speaking with Helena Ford, who has been put through the ringer by Harry Cooksley due to his antics in the villa, and making her laugh.
Fellow Love Island contestant Caprice can be heard telling Dejon Noel-Williams, who is currently coupled up with Meg Moore: "I'm thinking this could be lit", to which Dejon replies: "What, us two?" and "I think so too."
Alessia Russo was named as the Football Writers' Association Women's Footballer of the Year for 2024/25.
