OCCUPANCY: Mental health nurse
WHY LOVE ISLAND? The pool in Portsmouth doesn’t matter. I tried dating, talking to people on social media, but it just wasn’t successful. Applying was spontaneous, I didn’t expect to end up here!
WHAT BRINGS YOU TO THE VILLA? My girls are my rocks and I am theirs so I will be a good friend and go out there to find a man. I like to dress up, so I bring style, and I like to think I’m quite funny so I’ll make people laugh. I also bring honesty – I’m good at noticing people’s personality traits and looking aside those who might be a liar.

WHY LOVE ISLAND? At this point in my life I just want the chance to find a real connection with someone. I’ve been looking for that connection for a while but never really found it, I hope I find that spark at the Villa.
WHAT DO YOU WANT THE ISLAND RESIDENTS TO KNOW? I would say don’t judge a book by its cover because what I look like compared to what I do for work doesn’t necessarily add up. You wouldn’t think of me as a tall guy covered in tattoos and think I make girls’ hair look good for a living.

WHAT DO YOU WANT THE ISLAND RESIDENTS TO KNOW? I have something very special about me which is my disability, it’s a condition I was born with called Ebs Palsy. It doesn’t define who I am, but it makes me a little different, even though I’ve learned to deal with it and it’s never held me back.
HOW WOULD FRIENDS/FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? My friends would say that I am the loudest person in the group, I am the one who is always up for a challenge, the life and soul of the party. My family would say I’m bossy and it’s always my way or the highway, they’d say I’m the boss.

WHY LOVE ISLAND? I’ve always been a believer in relationships and when you find someone you want to be with, it’s the best feeling. This is the perfect moment, the only thing missing is my soulmate.
HOW WOULD FRIENDS/FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? Very sweet, caring and thoughtful. I’m the kind of guy that if you break down on the highway and need to change your tire, I’m there at any time of the night.

OCCUPANCY: Fashion model
WHAT BRINGS YOU TO THE VILLA? I think I would bring excitement and joy. I think people have someone to come to and talk to and feel comfortable around or laugh with. I think I’m someone that everyone would look forward to.
WHY SHOULD SOMEONE DATE YOU? I feel like the way I carry myself is very respectful and I think people accept that and once you show someone who you are, you get it back tenfold. The way I am radiates enough energy that people feel comfortable with me.

WHAT BRINGS YOU TO THE VILLA? I think I’ll definitely bring some fire, I’m very stubborn and I wear my heart on my sleeve. I’m also very bubbly so I’ll definitely be laughing and bringing some scouse glamour.WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I don’t go out enough, I work at the weekend and don’t usually go out in Liverpool anymore. If I want a night out I go to London because I love the boys down south. Tall, dark and cockney is my type.

OCCUPANCY: Recruitment manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I haven’t found the right girl yet, I’m quite picky and have high standards. Dating in London is terrible. You don’t know who’s single… but now you’re bringing me to a place where everyone’s single, so there’s no problem with that. CLAIM T0 FAME? I’m mates with Spencer Morgan (Piers Morgan’s son). We met when I moved to Fulham in 2018.

OCCUPANCY: Account manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I’ve enjoyed the single life and the attention from different guys, it’s fun. I enjoyed being able to go on vacation with the girls and not have to worry about anyone at home. All the girls are there in their rooms texting and I’m out until 4 in the morning living my best life.
WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? In 2011 I became world champion dancer, not many people know that. I was a professional street dancer.

OCCUPANCY: Retail manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I don’t underestimate that I work hard. I know what I want and I am not easily satisfied. Being a loud, outgoing woman can sometimes intimidate men; men don’t always want that.
WHAT IS YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? I like a white set of turkey teeth, but I like a good set of turkey teeth. I would say personality traits, you have to be family oriented. You have to be tall, you can’t be shorter than me, I shouldn’t have to doubt whether I can wear heels around you and what height heels I can wear. If you have a vertical challenge, this is not for me.

OCCUPANCY: Surveyor
WHAT IS YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? It looks plain, but humor is important to me, I’m a bit flatulent, so I want a girl who can give it back. Loyalty is another one for me, I think it’s the most important thing to look for in a relationship.
CLAIM T0 FAME? When I was in Malia on a lads holiday I pretended to be Liam Reardon from series 7 to get into a club because they wouldn’t let us in. It worked and we ended up getting a private booth and free drinks all night.
