WHAT GIVES YOU THE ICK? When a guy stunts for money, that’s an ick. Showing off all their designer clothes because most of the time they’re probably fake anyway! Another one is when a boy runs for the train and the train goes without him. Lunch Boxes also – just go to Tesco and get a meal deal!

DO YOU HAVE ANY CLAIMS TO FAME?  When I was a dancer, I actually danced at the EMAs and danced for Rita Ora and Camila Cabello. Maura Higgins is one of my best friends and we watched her best bits together one night and couldn’t stop laughing, she’s hilarious.

NAME: Kady McDermott

AGE: 27

FROM: Hertfordshire

OCCUPATION: Former Love Islander

WHY HAVE YOU DECIDED TO COME BACK ON THE SHOW? Not many people can say they’ve been on Love Island, let alone have done it twice! I think I’m known from season 2 for being so chaotic. People always ask, ‘Do you have regrets?’ expecting me to say yes, but I was so true to myself and I was 100% authentic. I’ll still be like that now, but seven years on, I am more mature. I’m still the fiery pocket rocket but I know what I want and what I don’t want.

WHAT BOYS DO YOU HAVE YOUR EYES ON? Zach’s my number one, Tyrique on looks, but he might need his ego putting down a little bit. I also want to get to know Mitch.

AGE: 25,

FROM: East London

WHAT MESSAGE WOULD YOU GIVE TO THE ISLANDERS? Watch your girls because the guy that gets all of the girls is coming into the Love Island Villa.

NAME: Kody Murphy

AGE: 20

FROM: Birmingham

OCCUPATION: Social Media Marketer

WHY ARE YOU EXCITED TO GO INTO CASA AMOR? I love a challenge and can’t wait to bring my flirty, cheeky side out. There isn’t as much pressure when you go into Casa Amor, you can go in and have some fun. I’ll definitely be a little mischievous.

HOW DO YOU PLAN ON TURNING PEOPLE’S HEADS? I’m going to go in there and be my big, bubbly, cheeky self – I definitely know what I want. You have to lay it on a bit thicker in Casa Amor than the outside, which will be different for me but I am confident in approaching things. I work well under pressure, so no worries there.

NAME: Ouzy See

AGE: 28

FROM: Edinburgh

OCCUPATION: Footballer, Tradesman and Model

WHY ARE YOU EXCITED TO GO INTO CASA AMOR? I’m excited to see which girls are open to having their heads turned, if anyone could make that happen, it would be me. My chat is great and I reckon I’ll definitely be the majority of the girls type on paper.

HOW DO YOU PLAN ON TURNING PEOPLE’S HEADS? I want to get to know everyone first and then let my favourites know early on that I’m interested to gauge their reaction. Then I can take it from there…

NAME: Zachary Ashford

AGE: 27

FROM: Manchester

OCCUPATION: Senior Sales Executive

WHY ARE YOU EXCITED TO GO INTO CASA AMOR? I’m really excited to get into Casa Amor. I’m looking forward to the romances but the main thing is I’m looking to stir the pot to be honest and walk out with a girl I like.

HOW DO YOU PLAN ON TURNING PEOPLE’S HEADS? I am going to go in and go with my heart straight away. I’ve got a couple of people in mind and I will want to feel them out and get to know them in the first few hours. I will then draw my attention to just one girl.

NAME: Lochan Nowacki

AGE: 25

FROM: Windsor

OCCUPATION: Account Manager

WHY ARE YOU EXCITED TO GO INTO CASA AMOR? I feel like I’m excited because a lot of the people in relationships aren’t fully secure. I know the type of person I am as well, so I feel like I can turn heads. I’m not going to be disrespectful and I’m proud of my morals as a person. I’m confident that I can go in and not necessarily stir it up, but open the ladies’ eyes to what could be a better couple.

HOW DO YOU PLAN ON TURNING PEOPLE’S HEADS? I have a top three in my mind already, so I’ll probably be pulling them for chats quite quickly and letting them know they’re the top three people I want to speak to. But I’m confident I’m a people person, I’m not going in there to act any differently to how I am with my own friends. I back myself that people will see that and see my good looks and bish, bash, bosh!

NAME: Benjamin Noel

AGE: 26

FROM: London

OCCUPATION: Fitness Business Owner

WHY ARE YOU EXCITED TO GO INTO CASA AMOR? I’m at a point where I want to find the right girl who can make me belly laugh. I think going into Casa Amor and meeting a bunch of girls is going to be like a holiday. It’s a new chapter and I love an adventure so I’m excited for the experience.

HOW DO YOU PLAN ON TURNING PEOPLE’S HEADS? Casa Amor leaves you with a small amount of time, so the boys often think up a big strategy but when I’m put in an environment where there is purpose I always thrive naturally.

NAME: Elom Ahlijah-Wilson

AGE: 22

FROM: London

OCCUPATION: Masseuse and Fitness Trainer

WHY ARE YOU EXCITED TO GO INTO CASA AMOR? I want to ruffle a few feathers and to see if I can find a strong connection. I’m excited to meet new people and see where it takes me.

HOW DO YOU PLAN ON TURNING PEOPLE’S HEADS? Firstly, by being myself and getting straight to the point. I like all of the girls in the Villa. I know I’m going to vibe with all of them, it’s just getting that one to one conversation and if I click with them, I click with them, if I don’t, I don’t and onto the next.

NAME: Tink Reading 

AGE: 26

FROM: Birmingham 

OCCUPATION: Project Manager 

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF? I’m mischievous, energetic and full of energy. I don’t take myself too seriously, as I just like to have fun. I can look cute and innocent but I do have a fiery side – if I have a problem I have no issue in saying it.

HOW DO YOU PLAN ON TURNING PEOPLE’S HEADS? To be honest, I am not going to waste any time or sit on the fence. I’m not going to gauge what the other girls are thinking. I will know who I am interested in and know certain boys won’t be my type. I won’t go for them just because it’s Casa Amor – I will stay true to myself.

I do back myself; I am funny and a bit of a lad – I like sports, football and F1. Don’t get me wrong, I love getting dressed up and looking great but I am a lad at the same time. There are not many girls like me, so I think that will be a shock for them.

I will not sit on the fence and go for what I want!

NAME: Danielle Mazhindu 

AGE: 25

FROM: Liverpool 

OCCUPATION: Recruitment Assistant and Occupational Therapy Student 

WHY ARE YOU EXCITED TO GO INTO CASA AMOR? I’ve been single for a bit and now I’m excited to explore and have fun! I’m excited to meet new people outside of my normal group and guys I would never normally meet outside of the Villa.

HOW DO YOU PLAN ON TURNING PEOPLE’S HEADS?  I have good chat, which will carry me. I am very direct – some people wait around but I will speak my piece from the start. I will 100% just enjoy my time there.

NAME: Amber Wise

Also, I would love to take part in a challenge or two!

HOW DO YOU PLAN ON TURNING PEOPLE’S HEADS? I’m going to go in there, get to know everyone and see who gives me the same energy back. I’m confident, so I will just be myself.

NAME: Gabby Jeffery 

AGE: 24

FROM: Newcastle 

OCCUPATION: Account Manager

WHY ARE YOU EXCITED TO GO INTO CASA AMOR? I’m excited to be with a big group of girls all in the same boat and to have eachothers backs in a new setting, I think that’s going to be really nice. I’m also excited to get to know the guys without their partners being there, I’d say I’m most excited for that.

HOW DO YOU PLAN ON TURNING PEOPLE’S HEADS? There’s no time to hold back, so I’m going to make sure I get to know everyone. I’m not going to waste any time thinking about what their current situation might be because I need to give myself a chance. I’m going to lay all my cards on the table and see where it gets me.

NAME: Abi Moores 

AGE: 25

FROM: Hampshire 

OCCUPATION: Flight Attendant 

WHY ARE YOU EXCITED TO GO INTO CASA AMOR? I want to find a boyfriend! Everyone on Love Island is so sexy. I feel like the kind of person that would do Love Island is definitely the type of person I could be in a relationship with.

HOW DO YOU PLAN ON TURNING PEOPLE’S HEADS? Having good eye contact. Everyone says my eyes are my best feature. My plan is to gauge how they’re feeling. I always call it my ‘spidey senses’. I’m a very good judge of character, I can see through people and see their energy. If they fancy me I should be able to gauge it quite well, so I should know who to graft with and who to leave to the side.
