Love Island fans SLAM ‘ ultimate pot-stirrers’ Joey and Sean as they claim the sweet salesman is ‘desperate’ and ‘begging’ for TOWIE star’s approval
NAME: Mimii Ngulube
AGE: 24
BY: Portsmouth
ACTIVITY: Mental health nurse
WHY DO YOU LOVE ISLAND? The pool in Portsmouth doesn’t matter. I’ve tried dating and talking to people on social media but it just hasn’t worked. Applying was a spur of the moment thing, I didn’t expect to get here!
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? My girls are my rocks and I am theirs, so I will be a good friend and also go out there and find a man. I like to dress up, so I will bring style, and I would like to think I am pretty funny so I can make people laugh. And bring honesty – I am good at picking up on someone’s personality traits and looking sideways at people who might be liars.
NAME: Sean Steen

ACTIVITY: Candy seller
WHY DO YOU LOVE ISLAND? I have always been a believer in relationships, and when you find someone you want to be with, it is the best feeling. Now is the perfect time, the only thing missing is my soulmate.
HOW WOULD FRIENDS/FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? Very sweet, caring and attentive. I am the type that if you have a breakdown on the highway and your tire needs to be changed, I am there for you at any time of the night.
NAME: Ayo Odukoya
AGE: 25
BY: Canning City
ACTIVITY: Fashion model
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? I think I would bring excitement and joy. I think people would have someone to come to and talk to and feel comfortable with someone to laugh with. I think I am someone that everyone would accept.
WHY WOULD SOMEONE DATE YOU? I think the way I conduct myself is very respectful and I think people pick up on that and once you show who you are to someone, it comes back to you tenfold. The way I am gives off enough energy that people feel comfortable around me.

ACTIVITY: Account manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I’ve enjoyed the single life and the attention from different guys, it’s fun. I’ve enjoyed the fact that I can go on vacation with the girls and not have to worry about anyone back home. All the girls are there texting in their rooms and I’m gone until 4 in the morning living my best life.
WHAT DO NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? I became world champion in dancing in 2011, not many people know that. I was a professional street dancer.
NAME: Ciaran Davies

ACTIVITY: Surveyor
WHAT’S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? Obviously looks, but humor is a big thing for me, I’m a bit of a wind up so I want a girl who can give it back. Loyalty is another one for me: I think that’s the most important thing to look for in a relationship.
WHAT DO NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? When I was in Malia on a lads holiday I pretended to be Liam Reardon from season 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.

NAME:Grace Jackson
AGE: 25

BUSINESS: Model and social media marketing coordinator
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? No man communicates well and it hurts. I like someone who doesn’t take themselves and life too seriously. My lifestyle can be a bit of a turn off for men, I like to go out and travel abroad a lot. They can’t keep up with my lifestyle. It’s the life I want and it helps with my business.
NAME: Matilda Draper
AGE: 24

BUSINESS: Recruitment Consultant
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING TO DO? I want to bring sunshine to the Villa. I am lighthearted and don’t take myself too seriously. If things get too serious in the Villa, I’ll throw in a joke or a ‘would you rather’.
NAME: Jessy Potten
AGE: 25

BUSINESS: Brand Partnership Officer
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’LL BRING TO THE VILLA? I’m fun, I like to get involved, so I think I’ll dive right in once I get there. I also have a really sarcastic sense of humor, so I’ll make anyone laugh, but I’m a Sagittarius, so I also have a fiery side and I’m not afraid to say what I think or defend my point of view. I’m not great at taking no for an answer.

ACTIVITY: Account Assistant
WHO DO YOU HAVE IN MIND IN THE VILLA? Mimii, Uma and Grace. They are all beautiful of course, but it is more about how they carry themselves and how they are as people.
WHAT KIND OF ISLANDER ARE YOU GOING TO BE? Sometimes I can be a little too honest. Ultimately I go for who I want and if I have to step on toes I will. I don’t mind making a fool of myself a little bit.
