The cast for this year’s Love Island is as follows:
Aidan, 23, property broker from Kent – he said: “Personality is the most important thing for me. I like someone who’s fun, can take a joke and doesn’t take themselves too seriously. If we’re constantly laughing and getting on, that’s what matters most.”
Robyn, 21, quantity surveyor and DJ from Liverpool – she said: “Finding love is my only goal. There may be a little bit of drama but I’m going in there for myself so I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do.”
Mica, 21, student from Barbados (lives in London) – she said: “Definitely someone that’s tall, I’m tall myself so I like to feel small. The most important thing for me is personality. I just want someone that will make me laugh.”
Lorenzo, 28, business owner from Hertfordshire – he said: “It’s a major turn off when someone doesn’t have manners. I like a little bit of high maintenance when it’s done in the right way but if someone is rude with it… I’d find that quite irritating.”
Sean, 25, primary school teacher from Galway – he said: “I’m here for love but also here for drama. I won’t be getting involved in it, I might be mixing it!”
Ellie, 24, real estate videographer from West Lothian – she said: “There’s nothing else I can do than be me. People love me and if they don’t then they’re clearly not okay. We’re all there for one reason, but I’m going to get my win.”
Samraj, 25, model from Birmingham – he said: “Without sounding arrogant, in the outside world I don’t really chase that much, I’m used to girls coming to me. In the beginning I’m not going to be pushing myself out there, I’m just gonna watch and see who I like.”
Lola, 28, detective from Kent – she said: “I like tall, Italian looking. Dark hair normally, even though I always end up with blondes! I like someone who is quite big as in a good cuddler.”
Angelista, 24, nurse from Staffordshire – she said: “I’ll put myself in the position to be seen by the guys so they know I’m interested, but I’m not gonna beg it. I’ll be in the mix, 100%, I’m not watching in the back.”
Samuel, 25, electrician from Dudley – he said: “I’d say I can be too nice sometimes. In the past, I’ve gone on a few dates with someone, realised I wasn’t feeling it anymore, but avoided saying anything because I didn’t want to hurt them.”
Ope, 27, West End performer from Lincolnshire – he said: “I like shorter girls, I’m really big on hair, good teeth and a nice smile. I prefer Northerners because they’ve got better crack. I honestly just go on energy, vibes and if you find my jokes funny.”
Jasmine, 27, fashion business owner from Dubai (lives in London) – she said: “An insecure man. Honestly, how would he deal with me? I pick up on insecurity straight away, and it just wouldn’t end well.”
