A co-worker that i get on reasonably well with has started coming in to the work place 2 hours before his shift. I told my husband about it and he said "why would anyone want to turn up to work early if they didn't have to?" Here is the problem.
The room that i sit in is around 10 feet by 10 feet with lockers and table and chairs so its not a big area. This room is used for lunch breaks and sitting in while waiting to go out at different times to do my job. The person is question has started to turn up 2 hours before he starts work EVERY day and he sits there with his feet up either blaring music out on his phone or texting or playing games on it. I like to eat my lunch in peace as it's the only time i get (in between 5 minute breaks) for a quiet moment throughout the day. Now this person is in every day it is getting annoying. I have hinted "haven't you got a home to go to" at which he just laughs. I find it hard to express to my supervisor how this is bothering me. Its not making me uncomfortable but I am not enjoying him being here for that amount of time before he starts his shift. He can travel into work quite easily and 30 minutes before he starts is more than early enough to arrive i think. Am i over reacting to this? Should i inform my supervisor or just put up with this person coming in 2 hours early?

" Am i over reacting to this? " - yes you are. It's not making you uncomfortable. You don't have to enjoy his presence, just eat your lunch and ignore him.

^ this. If this is a communal area, you can't really expect people to sit in silence just because that's how you like to enjoy your lunch, and it's not like management are going to do anything about someone turning up super early for work. Maybe buy some noise-cancelling headphones if it's a big issue?
