ACTIVITY: Mental health nurse
WHY 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 go out there and find a man. I love dressing up, so I bring style, and I like to think I am pretty funny so I can make people laugh. I also bring honesty – I am good at noticing people’s personality traits and looking aside from those who might be liars.

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 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 would have someone to come to and talk to and feel comfortable around or laugh with. I think I would be someone that everyone would look forward to.
WHY WOULD SOMEONE DATE YOU? I think the way I carry myself is very respectful and I think people pick up on that and once you show who you are to someone, you get it back tenfold. The way I am gives off enough energy that people feel comfortable with me.

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

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’S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? I like a set of white turkey teeth, but 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 can’t have to question whether I can get heels on you and what height heels I can wear. If you’re vertically challenged, this is not for me.

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 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.

WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I feel like I’ve been so unlucky in love! It’s all been disappointing so far. I don’t know what the reason is, I think it’s them because it can’t be me!

BUSINESS: Model and social media marketing coordinator
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? No man has good communication and it is painful. I like someone who doesn’t take themselves or life too seriously. My lifestyle can put guys off a bit, I like to go out and go abroad a lot. They can’t keep up with my lifestyle. It’s the life I want, and it helps my business.

OCCUPANCY: Commercial Insurance Broker
WHAT KIND OF ISLAND Dweller ARE YOU GOING TO BECOME? I would say I am charming and someone who goes after what she wants, I am not afraid to express my feelings. I go to the Villa to find the girl of my dreams so that I can annoy the boys.

OCCUPANCY: Brand partnership partner
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? I’m fun, I like to get involved, so I think I’ll dive right in as soon as I arrive. I also have a very sarcastic sense of humor so I will make anyone laugh, but I’m a Sagittarius so I also have a fiery side and I’m not afraid to speak my mind or defend my point of view. I’m not very good at taking ‘no’ for an answer.
