Although she previously denied rumours that Lawler would participate, on August 14, 2006, Lawler entered "Love Island 2" as a new arrival. Fellow contestant Sophie Anderton was not impressed as she had had it written into her contract for the show that Lawler, along with three other unnamed celebrities, would not also appear.
