There's just one week to go until Love Island returns to our screens. The hit dating show will air on Virgin Media Two on Monday June 3rd.
The list of this year's contestants has finally been revealed.
Meet the girls and guys hoping to find love in the infamous Majorca villa over the coming weeks:
Yewande Biala
- Age: 23
- Hometown: Dublin, Ireland
- Profession: Scientist
What makes you the perfect Love Islander?
I’m a scientist, which is a unique job. I think people may be surprised. Every time I say that I’m a scientist, people are shocked. I think there are loads of intelligent people on reality television,
last year we had Dr Alex and the year before we had Camilla Thurlow in the villa.
What are your three best and worst personality traits?
I am easy to get along with, I’m funny and caring. But I talk too much, I never stop talking and it gets me in trouble sometimes. I’m a tad dramatic and I can be lazy.
What’s your idea of the perfect guy?
Someone that I can hold a normal conversation with. Someone that has good banter and someone that is easy to get along with and honest. Lookswise, I like them to be tall and athletic.
Who is your celebrity crush?
Anthony Joshua.
Lucie Donlan
- Age: 21
- Hometown: Newquay
- Profession: Surfer
What makes you the perfect Love Islander?
I stand out and I’m different to the usual girls that might go on the show. I’m more into sports as well as being glam. I can do both, which makes me stand out compared to other girls. I’m more of a guy’s girl than a girl’s girl. I’ve got a lot of friends that are into riding bikes. I get on with those girls who are bit more tomboy-ish. I get on fine with girls, I just don’t like hanging out with girly girls too much. I like hanging out with guys because they’re into the same type of sports…. less drama really.
What are your three best and worst personality
traits?
I’m always late for everything! I can cut boys off very quickly, that’s pretty bad I’d say. If they really like me, I can be like ‘Whatever, bye.’ I can switch off really quickly. It’s the same with friends as well, I can do exactly the same. But I’m very kind and thoughtful towards people that I like and I’m fun and bubbly. I’m spontaneous and love to do anything crazy and fun.
What’s your claim to fame?
The last guy I was with was Charlie [Frederick] from last year’s Love Island. We got together a few weeks after he came out of the villa.
Amber Gill
- Age: 21
- Hometown: Newcastle
- Profession: Beauty Therapist
What makes you the perfect Love Islander?
I’ve got a big personality and I get on with people really well. People think I’m funny. I don’t take myself too seriously and I’m always up for a laugh. I’ll be good on challenges and dates.
What are your three best and worst personality
traits?
My three best would be that I’m funny, that I am sassy and I’m kind and like to include everyone. I like to make friends with everybody. My three worst are that I can be hot-headed, I’m loud and some people don’t appreciate that. I’m quite opinionated.
What’s your claim to fame?
I know a few of the former Islanders from Newcastle, like Adam Collard and Ellie Brown. Everyone knows everyone in Newcastle!
Amy Hart
- Age: 26
- Hometown: Worthing, Sussex
- Profession: Air Hostess/Cabin Crew Manager
What makes you the perfect Love Islander?
I’m a good mix of someone who can be fun and serious, I’ll be able to look after people and I’ll be able to get really stuck in with all the fun things too. Also, I am the Bridget Jones of my friendship group so I need to find someone.
What are your three best and worst personality traits?
My best ones would be my quick wit, my fierce loyalty and my uniqueness. Where I’m from, noone really dresses like me or acts like me. My three negatives are that I give too much to the wrong people, I think nothing of driving 200 miles to see someone who would never do the same for me. I’m also probably a bit bossy and I’m late for everything.
What’s your claim to fame?
I went on a night out once and Liam from One Direction was there. We were in the VIP bit and so was he and he walked past me and I smiled and he said ‘Hey, you alright? What’s your name?’ He told us to come and sit in his booth and we had a picture together. I put it on Instagram and then my cousin who was twelve and a big One Direction fan put it on her Instagram and suddenly I was on all these international One Direction accounts. I was on Sugarscape and I was getting hate from tenyear-olds because they thought I was dating him!
Also I met Piers Morgan on a flight once… that famous Love Island fan! I had him and his boys coming home from a lads’ trip to the cricket. They were such a lovely family.
Anna Vakili
- Age: 28
- Hometown: London
- Profession: Pharmacist
What makes you the perfect Love Islander?
I think I’m different to anyone who has been on the show before. I have the whole glam look, I’m fun but at the same time I feel like I have more to me than that. I studied hard and I’ve got my masters. I’m a pharmacist and I have a Middle Eastern background.
What are your three best and worst personality traits?
My best personality traits are that I’m very kind and emotional, I don’t like to see anyone hurt. I’m honest and I say it how it is to people and to their face. I’m affectionate, I love hugs and kisses, especially with a guy. But I’m difficult to handle, I’m a drama queen and I overreact. I’m clumsy and I’m a messy eater. I spill my drinks all the time. I’m stubborn as well, if I’m in a mood then it’s really hard to get me out of the mood.
What’s your claim to fame?
I ended up on the Iranian News earlier this year when my sister and I were away in Qatar with two Iranian footballers who have a huge following. Suddenly my followers went up by 20,000 and I started being tagged in fan pages!
Anthony Danyluk
- Age: 24
- Hometown: Airdrie, Scotland
- Profession: Gym owner
What makes you the perfect Love Islander?
First of all, I am Scottish and I don’t think there has been a Scottish guy on the show before. I think I am the first? Laura Anderson and Camilla Thurlow both got to the final. Hopefully, I’ll get further than them and win it!
What are your three best and worst personality traits?
I’m funny, I’m very hard working and I’m really motivated and I love to encourage and motivate people. My worst traits? I can be moody and I’m definitely an overthinker. Sometimes I can be a bit selfish.
Tommy Fury
- Age: 20
- Hometown: Manchester
- Profession: Boxer
What makes you the perfect Love Islander?
I feel like I’ve got a unique personality and Love Island is a good place to showcase it. I’m fun, bubbly, good to get along with and just really easy-going.
I won’t be afraid to go and have a splash about in the pool, I’ll mingle with people and find out about everyone because at the end of the day I’ll be living with these people for a long time so it’ll be nice to see if I have a bromance in there, along with a relationship. It’s nice to be a bit standoutish.
What are your three best and worst personality traits?
My best are that I’m honest, charismatic and charming. My three worst are probably that sometimes I’m a bit too confident, sometimes a bit too talkative and then sometimes I’m a bit lazy.
What’s your claim to fame?
It’s probably my brother, Tyson, but I’m my own man and I’ve said it throughout my whole boxing career. I don’t want to be labelled as his little brother, I’m my own man and I’m doing the best that I can do in life and that’s all I’m setting out to achieve.
Joe Garratt
- Age: 22
- Hometown: South East London
- Profession: Catering Company Owner
What makes you the perfect Love Islander?
I’m very fun. I don’t really take life too seriously and I’m always having jokes. I think that’s what makes me the perfect Islander.
What are your three best and worst personality traits?
I’m fun, I’m a bit of a romantic as well and I don’t take life too seriously. I’m chilled out and I’m quite laid-back. It could be a positive or a negative that I don’t take things too seriously all the time but in a relationship that’s quite hard… Some girls don’t like that! Sometimes I joke around too much. I’m also quite indecisive and I’ll question things. I’m always late as well, I can be super late!
What’s your claim to fame?
I used to play semi-professional rugby.
Michael Griffiths
- Age: 27
- Hometown: Liverpool
- Profession: Firefighter
What makes you the perfect Love Islander?
I’m a hero! I’m a firefighter, who doesn’t want their own firefighter? Their own local hero.
What are your three best and worst personality traits?
I’m a straight-talking guy, I’ll tell people how it is. I’m open and energetic, so I’m easy to get along with. The three worst things about me? Again, I’m a straight-talking guy and people don’t always like the truth. Even though it’s one of the best things about me, it’s also one of the worst. I’ll just say it how it is. I eat a lot, little and often, people might find that quite annoying. I’m always late!
Sherif Lanre
- Age: 20
- Hometown: London
- Profession: Semi-Pro Rugby Player
What makes you the perfect Love Islander?
I’m upbeat and cheeky and outrageous with my own friends so hopefully that continues in the villa. I’m always on a mission to make people laugh. That’ll be of value in there.
What are your three best and worst personality traits?
I lift anyone’s mood who is around me, whether that is through trying or not. I feel like if you’re down and around me, you’ll end up being a bit more upbeat. I don’t like to get into conflicts, I
would rather spare someone’s feelings.
Worst traits? Number one would be that I’m pretty outrageous, that can also translate to the bad side. On top of that, I laugh at everything which sometimes gets me into trouble. I can’t really take anything seriously. My actual laugh, my hysterical laugh is pretty ugly. People around me get that a lot and have to deal with it.
Callum Macleod
- Age: 28
- Hometown: South Wales
- Profession: Aircraft Engineer
What makes you the perfect Love Islander?
I’m a genuine, normal guy and up for a good laugh. I love being on holiday, I love a pool party, I just think it suits me! I’m 28 now so time is ticking, I don’t want to be left on the shelf. The whole experience is going to be great and if I meet someone, that’s what I’m here for.
What are your three best and worst personality traits?
I’m fun, loyal and I’m quite spontaneous as well. Ilove to be clean, I clean my house all the time! I can be a bit edgy sometimes, I like to get things done. I think that’s my engineering side.
Curtis Pritchard
- Age: 23
- Hometown: Shropshire
- Profession: Ballroom and Latin Dancer
What makes you the perfect Love Islander?
The thing that makes me the perfect Love Islander is that I’m just going to be myself. I’m going to be me. I don’t have to act like anything, I don’t have to
teach anyone how to dance, like my normal job! I can just be myself and have fun.
What are your three best and worst personality traits?
I’m great fun to be around, always thinking about other people and I’m always putting a smile on people’s faces. My worst traits are that I never reply to text messages, I don’t really like using
social media or phone
What’s your claim to fame?
I would say my claim to fame is that I’m on Dancing with the Stars Ireland and AJ Pritchard from Strictly Come Dancing is my brother.
Get ready for a holiday romance to remember! Host Caroline Flack is back along with show narrator Iain Stirling.
