"Love Island" 2022: Reece Ford

Ford is a 23-year-old model from Coventry and ready to make a late entrance on the show. "I am naturally a competitive person. I used to be a professional footballer, so I am used to having lots of competition," he said. "I feel like I am quite confident, so I wouldn't care about stepping on anyone's toes that doesn't really bother me. I am going in there to find love so that's all a part of it really."

Ford was voted off a few days later.

"Love Island" 2022: Jamie Allen

Loyal Allen, a footballer from Preston, admits that he's only ever had two girlfriends, and now that he's 27-years-old, he's in a position to commit. "My first girlfriend was when I was 18, but I liked going out clubbing, so I thought there's no
point being in a relationship when I am going out, enjoying myself. Now, I am 27, I've got that all out of my system and ready to settle down."

Allen's Instagram. [9]

Allen coupled up with Danica Taylor, and was then voted off. He did leave in a couple, so here's hoping love wins.

"Love Island" 2022: Nathalia Campos

Campos is originally from Brazil, but lives in London and has said she'll be brining "fun, flirtation, and fire" to the villa. The 23-year-old operations manager says: "I fall in love very quickly, I am a Libra, I am always falling in and out of love . . . or at least I think I am in love."

Campos's Instagram. [10]

Campos brought the drama, but was voted off a few days after entering the villa.

"Love Island" 2022: Lacey Edwards

Another professional dancer is joining the villa. Edwards, 25, from Swindon has been working away in France and, as her contract ended, she felt this was the opportune time to try to find love on the show. "I've got really, really good chat, and they would be able to see my personality through that. I might show them my party trick — we will have to see about that."

Edwards's Instagram. [11]

Edwards coupled up with Deji Adeniyi, but the pair were voted off just after.

"Love Island" 2022: Adam Collard

If you've been an avid "Love Island" fan since the beginning, then it's likely you'll recognise Collard. For the first time, producers have brought a former Islander back for a second go at finding love. Collard appeared on season four back in 2018 when he was coupled up with Zara McDermott and the 26-year-old gym founder is returning to "ruffle a few feathers." Oh. Em. Gee.

Collard's Instagram. [12]

Collard just missed out on making it to the final, and was voted out fifth. Leaving in a couple with Paige Thorne, we hope the two go the distance.

"Love Island" 2022 Casa Amor: Mollie Salmon

The makeup artist from Southampton scouted out who to make a beeline for in the "Love Island" villa. "My top three are Jay, Davide, and Jacques but my number one is Jay. They all look amazing but Jay is just carved from gold. I've never seen abs sculpted like that, him and Davide," says the 23-year-old.

Salmon's Instagram. [13]

Despite kisses with Davide Sanclimenti and chats with Jacques O'Neill, she was single at the Casa Amor recoupling and left the villa.

"Love Island" 2022 Casa Amor: Summer Botwe

Botwe is the co-owner of an events decor business and admits she has no filter when it comes to saying what she thinks. The 22-year-old from Hertfordshire says: "Dami is someone that I definitely feel like I have my eye on and definitely want to pursue the most out of all the boys. His dress sense is really good, he's funny, he's just like an allrounder completely." We have a feeling things are about to get messy.

Botwe's Instagram. [14]

Botwe was voted off, but rumours are she's now dating Josh Le Grove on the outside . . .

"Love Island" 2022 Casa Amor: Coco Lodge

Lodge is 27-years-old from Surrey and is a graphic designer as well as a ring girl. She says her friends would describe her as "a predator. I'm super flirty! I give off big energy and boys gravitate towards me and I'm always flirty. They'd also say I'm super sensitive." But who will she be pulling for a chat?

Lodge's Instagram. [15]

Although she coupled up with Andrew Le Page, it wasn't meant to be. Lodge was voted to go home.

"Love Island" 2022 Casa Amor: Jazmine Nichol

The nightclub manager from Newcastle admits she falls quickly. "All they've got to do is remember like a certain little thing. Like if I have chocolate chips on my pancakes, I'm like, 'oh my god I love them'. I think my life's a romcom, that's where I'm going wrong," confesses the 21-year-old. It looks like those coffees in the morning might win Nichol's heart.

Nichol's Instagram. [16]

Nichol was left single when the Islanders from the two villa rejoined and she was sent home.

"Love Island" 2022 Casa Amor: Cheyanne Kerr

Kerr, 23, has been in a relationship for three years and been single for six months. She works in cabin crew from Barnsley and believes her eyes will help turn the boy's heads. "From previous experience, I know I've got very good chat so when I do speak to guys it comes easily and I am never nervous. When I am speaking to someone, if I find them attractive I never let that get the better of me and if I find someone attractive I always use my eyes," she says.

Kerr's Instagram. [17]

Kerr wasn't chosen to couple up with any of the boys, but there's no doubt she left her mark after telling Paige Thorne about Jacques O'Neill kisses.

"Love Island" 2022 Casa Amor: Chyna Mills

The 23-year-old support worker from Leeds has a competitive streak. "I don't like to lose and I don't mind stepping on anyone's toes. I didn't come with anyone," she says. "I'm happy to make friends in the Villa but everyone came to "Love Island" for one reason. If they were in my position they'd do the same." It's not "Friend Island", after all.

Mills's Instagram. [18]

Mills couple up with Jay Younger, but then called the two called it quits, and Mills was voted off.

"Love Island" 2022 Casa Amor: Billy Brown

The roofing company director from Surrey hasn't got his eye on one girl, but all of them! "I'm very competitive in anything I do. Whatever it is, I always want to win. This is about winning the girl I want, sort of thing. If that girl has a better connection with me and likes the look of me more then I'm obviously going to change her mind," says the 23-year-old. We can't wait to see him turn some heads.

Brown's Instagram. [19]

Brown was voted off in a dramatic dumping at the Island's pool party.

"Love Island" 2022 Casa Amor: Samuel Agbiji

"I'm a happy, positive guy and I like to live in the moment and live blissfully," says the 22-year-old model from Manchester. "I like to bring good energy wherever I am. I'm the type of person you'll see dancing a lot, I'm the type of person who likes to put smiles on other peoples faces." Cute!

Agbiji's Instagram. [20]

Unfortunately, Agbiji failed to win the hearts of any of the girls, so he was sent packing.

"Love Island" 2022 Casa Amor: Deji Adeniyi

Adeniyi, 22, has been getting lots of action, but it's not turned into love yet. The accounts manager from Bedford says "My sex life is amazing but my love life is awful. I am the master of failed talking stages. My love life isn't going the right way so one night I decided to apply for Love Island and now I'm here!" Here's hoping he can talk one of the girls round.

Adeniyi's Instagram. [21]

He was voted off, but left with a new bombshell.

"Love Island" 2022 Casa Amor: Josh Samuel Le Grove

This Essex-boy says he's always been single, but the 22-year-old model isn't afraid to couple up with the right girl. "I feel like when it's a girl that I really like, I could fall quite quickly. And then if I don't feel like I'm getting that energy back then I could lose interest quite quickly," he says.

Le Grove's Instagram. [22]

After breaking it off with Danica Taylor, Le Grove found himself in the bottom three boys and was ultimately sent packing.

"Love Island" 2022 Casa Amor: George Tasker

Tasker, 23, has been single for three years and is ready for love. The labourer from the Cotswolds says: "I had a relationship with a girl from Australia — my only girlfriend. It was a long distance relationship so 10,000 miles apart for almost three years. I'm a lot more mature now and I know what I want in a relationship." But who will he settle down with?

Tasker's Instagram. [23]

Tasker was close to winning over Ekin-Su, but in the end was left single. He left the villa as Casa Amor returned.

"Love Island" 2022 Casa Amor: Jack Keating

Step aside, Gemma. There's another Islander with a famous Dad heading into the villa. Keating, 23, is the son of Boyzone singer Ronan Keating. Yes, THE Ronan Keating. Although he admits he's never been in love. "I think I'm a pretty positive, fun guy so I think some good chat and a bit of Irish charm as well," he says. Another boy from the Green Isle alongside Dami, maybe he'll have the luck of the Irish and couple up with one of the girls.

Keating's Instagram. [24]

Keating didn't quite make it on the main show after his stint in Casa Amor.

"Love Island" 2022: Charlie Radnedge

London lad Radnedge is a 28-year-old real estate developer who has a very West London accent that "Love Island" narrator Iain Stirling has declared as "posh". As one of the more mature Islanders, he says: "If I do get into a relationship, I want it to be something that adds to both of our lives, rather than it being something my happiness is dependent on. I'm probably at the age where the next serious relationship, that'll be it I reckon, so I want to be sure."

Radnedge's Instagram. [25]

Sadly, Radnedge's time in the "Love Island" villa came to an end just before Casa Amor when he was left in the bottom three boys after a public vote. His fellow female Islanders then opted for him to be dumped from the island after he failed to make a connection with any of the girls.

"Love Island" 2022: Antigoni Buxton

Buxton is another singleton to have a famous parent. Her mum, Tonia Buxton, is a TV chef and regular on Channel 4's "Sunday Brunch." The 26-year-old singer-songwriter from London has been single for a year and a half. "I really just want to say 'yes' to things. Why not? It'll be fun. I'm a Cypriot girl, and I love being in the sun. I've got nothing to lose!" she says.

Buxton's Instagram. [26]

Despite making strong friendships in the villa, Buxton left before Casa Amor after finding herself in the bottom three girls after a public vote. The boys then chose her to be dumped from the island as she hadn't formed a romantic bond.

"Love Island" 2022: Danica Taylor

Taylor is a 21-year-old dancer from Leicester who is set to shake up the couples in the villa. "I don't really see competition, I am a very self assured girl, I know myself, I know what I bring to the table, and there are stunning girls in that villa but I back myself," she says. And so she should!

Taylor's Instagram. [27]

After six attempts at finding love, she left the villa with Allen on her arm.

"Love Island" 2022: Remi Lambert

Week two bombshell Lambert is a 22-year-old model from Manchester and is already looking at past successful "Love Island" couples as his inspiration. "When I saw Molly [Mae Hague] and Tommy [Fury] and saw how strong they are together, I thought 'I want a love like that,'" he says.

Lambert's Instagram. [28]

Sadly, it wasn't meant to be as Lambert was left single and dumped from the villa on 19 June.

"Love Island" 2022: Jay Younger

At 28-years-old, Younger is the oldest Islander to enter the villa this year and he's hoping his extra years of experience will set him apart from the other lads. "I think I genuinely have what most females want. I've got a good job, I think I am a good looking lad and I have a lot of fun so I feel like I could add a lot of value to their lives if they add a lot of value to mine," says the Investment Analyst, from Edinburgh. Only time will tell!

Younger's Instagram. [29]

Younger was voted off after not quite making a deep connection with anyone.

"Love Island" 2022: Jacques O’Neill

O'Neill entered the villa after a week and ruffled feathers straight away. The 23-year-old rugby player from Cumbria is actually Gemma Owen's ex-boyfriend, leaving some of the other boys feeling a little threatened. "We all think we're a catch, don't we? I'm loyal, I'm respectful and I've got good manners," O'Neill says. "I'll look after someone close to me to the full extent I can. I would have a baby in two or three years. I think I'd be good with babies too, they'd be good looking wouldn't they?"

O'Neill's Instagram. [30]

On 12 July, O'Neill left the villa. After a rocky ride since Casa Amor, he chose to leave the show as he didn't feel like himself. But he promised to wait for Paige Thorne.

"Love Island" 2022: Afia Tonkmor

The 25-year-old from London could turn some heads. "I fall in love quickly, too quickly, two dates I am like, 'OMG I am obsessed with this boy, he's everything," she says. The lounge host says her smile is what gets her attention from the opposite sex, and we can't wait to see which boys fall under her charms.

Tonkmor's Instagram. [31]

Tonkmor was left single at the recoupling after new boy O'Neill chose to partner up with Thorne and had to leave the villa. It might have been short and sweet, but we loved watching her on our screens.

"Love Island" 2022: Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu

The actress, from Essex, isn't afraid to go after what she wants. The 27-year-old said: "I'm not just looking for looks, I'm looking for brains! I'm looking for someone with intelligence, someone who can have good chats. Nothing like cockiness! I'm looking for a serious man and a serious relationship."

Cülcüloğlu's Instagram. [32]

"Love Island" 2022: Paige Thorne

The 24-year-old from Swansea was the first to be announced for the upcoming series, and the brunette promises to bring "lots of bubbly energy" to the villa. The paramedic revealed that she can't find anyone in the Welsh city, saying "there's just nobody there anymore", so here's hoping the brunette can find her soulmate in the Mallorcan villa.

Thorne's Instagram. [33]

Thorne was coupled up with O'Neill for a while, but after he left and bombshell Collard walked in, she was smitten. She just missed the final and came in fifth position.

"Love Island" 2022: Dami Hope

It looks like we could have a troublemaker on our hands with 26-year-old Hope. The Senior Microbiologist from Dublin said: "I'll try not to cause trouble, but sometimes you don't intentionally cause trouble — but it happens!" A passionate Aries, he always puts the other person first in a relationship. Cute.

Hope's Instagram. [34]

"Love Island" 2022: Indiyah Polack

The Hotel Waitress from London is ready to start dating properly, as the 23-year-old explains how hard it's been to build a connection with someone. "I have been single for some time, and I feel like for my generation of people, it's quite hard to date without being influenced by social media and stuff like that", she said.

Polack's Instagram. [35]

"Love Island" 2022: Liam Llewellyn

Charmer Llwellyn, 22, from Newport wears his heart on his sleeve and says he can't hide how he feels about anyone. The master's student does say that his mum would describe him as "a little sh*t", so there's definitely a naughty side to him. He knows how to impress, saying that he would always pay a girl a compliment.

Llewellyn's Instagram. [36]

After a week, Llwellyn decided to quit the show [37] as he didn't feel "100 percent Liam". We salute his honesty and love that he recognised his mental health comes first.

"Love Island" 2022: Tasha Ghouri

Model and Dancer Ghouri, 23, is the first deaf contestant to have appeared on the show. She has a cochlear implant, which is definitely a positive step forward for diversity among the contestants. She describes her dating life as a "shambles". Hailing from Thirsk, North Yorkshire, she says her friends would describe her as wild. "I may have to step on toes, but I'll do it in the nicest way possible," she says. We can't wait to see how this unfolds.

Ghouri's Instagram. [38]

"Love Island" 2022: Davide Sanclimenti

Love Island 2022 is going global as Sanclimenti is from Rome, Italy, although he currently lives in Manchester. The 27-year-old business owner is a self-confessed "Italian stallion" and has found this gives him the edge when it comes to his love life. "I'm good-looking, and I've realised since I first arrived in Manchester, a lot of English girls actually love me." Fit and modest? Who knew!

Sanclimenti's Instagram. [39]

"Love Island" 2022: Gemma Owen

The daughter of professional footballer, Michael Owen, means the 19-year-old is used to life in the limelight. As an international dressage rider, Owen, from Chester, certainly has that competitive streak and goes for what she wants, but she seems to have a sweet side, too. "I wouldn't do anything to another girl that I wouldn't be happy with them doing to me", she says.
Owen's Instagram. [40]

"Love Island" 2022: Ikenna Ekwonna

Working in Pharmaceutical Sales and recently graduated, we are hoping Ekwonna, 23, from Nottingham brings some chemistry to the series. He's only had one relationship before, but he did whisk his ex on holiday to Barcelona for her birthday, so he's a romantic at heart, despite saying "I don't really care too much about what people think."

Ekwonna's Instagram [41]

Having got off to a slow start in a couple with Polack, Ekwonna's laidback style got him dumped off the island after a public vote left him in the bottom two. At least he got to leave with Beckford!

"Love Island" 2022: Andrew Le Page

The Estate Agent from Guernsey took his ex to Paris for her birthday so expect grand gestures of love from Le Page. The 27-year-old describes himself as "a good boyfriend", saying he's very loyal and "when I'm with someone I'm all for them." By the looks his Instagram, he likes to travel and popped up a post for him mum, too.

Le Page's Instagram [42]

"Love Island" 2022: Amber Beckford

The 24-year-old Nanny from London might be experienced with looking after kids, but managing adult temper tantrums is another matter. Beckford says she can be opinionated and doesn't like "flashy guys". She is looking for a boyfriend and wants the boys in the villa to "just have a personality and make me laugh."

Beckford's Instagram. [43]

Despite being in a couple with Hope since the start, Beckford was voted out by the public in week three alongside fellow Islander, Ekwonna. We'll certainly miss her straight-talking in the villa.

"Love Island" 2022: Luca Bish

Despite being 23 years old, Bish came out of a four-year relationship a year ago and is looking for the real deal. The fishmonger from Brighton sees the TV show as his shot at a happily ever after. "When you actually look back at 'Love Island', you can see how many couples it's genuinely made," he said. "I don't know how many kids 'Love Island' has made but there are a few aren't there?" There are, and it seems Bish already has his sights on mini Love Islanders.
