Ella Barnes

The 23-year-old is set to bring "a lot of spice and drama" into the villa. The Kent-raised dancer and model is "open" to speaking to all the villa lads, but says she already knows Tyrique. "I have a feeling I could make a few boys' heads turn, especially Tyrique because we have history," Barnes said.

Josh Brocklebank

The 26-year-old financial advisor can't wait to grasp this "amazing opportunity" of heading into the villa with both hands. The Essex-raised lad said: "I can't wait to get grafting the girls."

Casa Amor: Molly Marsh

She's back! After the shock dumping that rocked the villa, Molly is heading back into Casa Amor. After Kady unknowingly dumped her from the island by choosing to couple up with Zach, Molly said she's be waiting for him on the outside. But that was before he spent the next day grafting with the other Islanders. Will she be trying to get Zach back? Or will she be looking to play games?

Casa Amor: Gabby Jeffery

Gabby, 24, a creative assistant from Newcastle doesn't have much faith in the boy's loyalties at this stage – especially Tyrique. "I think there's a chance that every single Islander could have their head turned. I don't buy Tyrique and Ella for a second, they've not had a real test and he's closed himself off way too early. Ella is invested but Tyrique doesn't know the test he's about to face," she said.

Casa Amor: Danielle Mazhindu

Danielle has her eye on a few of the boys, and has been changing her mind on which ones she'll be going for. The 25-year-old recruitment assitant and occupational therapy student from Liverpool said: "For the longest time I have been saying Tyrique as my number one but now I have changed my mind! I just think he's not my personality type, so he's now out. It would be Zach because he's the most my type - good looking, tall, chilled and laid back. Montel gives a similar vibe to Zach, so he is also someone I have my eye on. Scott as well, his eyes are amazing. He's so sweet and seems very cute."

Casa Amor: Amber Wise

Amber, 19, a graphic design student from Buckinghamshire, is looking forward to getting stuck into the challenges. "Tyrique will definitely flirt with a lot of the girls. Sammy's head will turn, as well as Zach," she said.

Casa Amor: Abi Moores

Abi is on the lookout for a boyfriend, so will be grafting to get the boy's heads turning. The 25-year-old flight attendant from Hampshire said: "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."

Casa Amor: Tink Reading

Tink, 26, a project manager from Reading has her eye on Mitchel and Scott. "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," she said.

Casa Amor: Kodie Murphy

Kodie, 20, wants to show his flirty, cheeky side. And the social media marketer from Birmingham has his eye on one Islander in particular. "Jess is my weak point as I do love a blonde. Leah is a very pretty girl but Jess' personality is stand out for me. She can give good banter!" he said.

Casa Amor: Benjamin Noel

Benjamin, 26, will be bringing all the positive vibes to Casa Amor. The fitness business owner from London said: "I can fall pretty easily but I'm also super relaxed at the same time. I'm massively into fitness and health, it's not all about having a huge chest that can't fit through a door, having a healthy body helps maintain a healthy mind."

Casa Amor: Lochan Nowacki

Lochlan, 25, an account manager from Windsor is hoping to catch the eye of Kady, Catherine, and Leah. "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!" he revealed.

Casa Amor: Elom Ahlijah-Wilson

Straight-talking Elom, 22, is a fitness trainer and masseuse from London. "I don't beat around the bush, I don't have a filter. If I don't like you, I'm going to say it straight up. I'm confident. Looks wise, 10/10. Once I set myself a goal I always achieve it, always. There hasn't been a time where I haven't achieved it," he said.

Casa Amor: Zachary Ashford

Zachary, 27, a senior sales executive from Manchester is ready to make a big impression in Casa Amor. "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," he said.

Casa Amor: Ouzy See

The 28-year-old is a footballer and model from Edinburgh and has actually met Ella before. "If I was in there from the start it would have been Ella. I've met Ella before on a photoshoot we were both working on and also on nights out in Edinburgh, although nothing has ever happened between us," he said. "I also like Leah, she's incredibly pretty, I'm looking forward to getting to know her more. Kady interests me too, I watched her on Series 2 and she was a bit of a firecracker."

Scott Van Der Sluis

Another "Love Island" series, another footballer. Scott, 22, entered the villa with his Welsh charm, but the Islanders need to be aware that football is his first love. His perfect first date? "To go and watch the Champions League final with full hospitality," he said.

Kady McDermott

Oh, hiya Kady! The series 2 Islander is back for another go at finding love as she follows in the footsteps of Adam Collard in giving "Love Island" a second go. As she enters, the villa, she announces, "Alright boys, who's ready for a pocket rocket?" referencing her nickname from 2015.

Leah Taylor

Leah Taylor might have had some firsthand advice before entering the villa. The 27-year-old business manager from Manchester said: "My favourite thing I've ever watched is Maura's [Higgins] best bits, she's one of my best friends so we watched it together one night and couldn't stop laughing, she's hilarious."

Montel McKenzie

Another semi-pro footballer has entered the villa. Montel, 25, is from East London and isn't afraid to tread on any toes. "I'm not really worried about that if I really want the girl. I'm not going to cause a problem over someone I am not interested in. I'll definitely speak to Ella despite her being coupled up with Tyrique," he revealed.

Charlotte Sumner

Charlotte Sumner, 30, is a dental nurse from Bournemouth and is entering the villa just as the couples seem to be settling down. Although the boys have a lot to live up to if her last dates are anything to go. "The best date I went on was with an Italian guy I met who wanted to take me to Milan but I only agreed to it if my best friend could come. The guy flew us both out to Milan for fashion week and put us up in the Armani hotel, it was incredible," she said.

Charlotte didn't manage to find love and was dumped from the villa.

Mal Nicol

The 25-year-old picture researcher hails from Edinburgh, but lives in London – and she's ready for some attention. "I am such an attention seeker, so I will love that. It's going to feel so euphoric - that's why I want someone who is playful and fun. Someone who is unapologetically themselves. Life's too short - no-one cares," she said.

Mal was voted out by the public and dumped from the villa.

Sammy Root

Sammy arrived in the hideaway and immediately had dates with three Islanders. The 22-year-old project manager from Kent has certainly made an impression, but he has got some pretty specific "icks". "It's niche, but wide feet - there's something about wide feet that I can't deal with. Girls that are too into star signs is another ick," he said.

Whitney Adebayo

And the series' bombshells continue. Meet Whitney, 25, an entrepreneur from London, set to turn heads. "Why would you not want to date me? I've got triple B's - bum, boobs and brains," she revealed.

Zachariah Noble

The first bombshell of the series entered at the end of episode 1 and caused a stir instantly. The 25-year-old personal trainer (and basketball player) from South London has admitted he's looking for love to maximise on his looks. "I'm not going to be young forever and it would be nice to meet someone and get some good holiday pictures whilst I'm still looking half decent!" he said.

Ruchee Gurung

Ruchee was the first 2023 Islander to be announced, and the 24-year-old beautician from Sutton knows what she wants. "I also get the ick if I see a guy wearing white jeans and red trainers. Another one is super skinny jeans when they look like leggings. Fashion is such an important thing for me. If I go on a date and the guy isn't wearing something I like, I'm going home," she said. As eBay is back as the official sponsor [5], we hope the lads steer clear from those skinny bottoms if they want to stand a chance with Ruchee.

Tyrique Hyde

Semi-professional footballer Tyrique Hyde, 24, from Essex, has connections to some of our favourite past Islanders. Season 7 star, Toby Aromolaran is one of his best friends from school and, similarly to Tasha Ghouri from the 2022 series [6], he is deaf in one ear. "I'm deaf in my right ear. I've got a tattoo next to my left one that symbolises strength and power in my good one," he revealed.

Molly Marsh

Molly Marsh, 21, is a musical theatre performer and social media creator from Doncaster. Like winter "Love Island" favourite, farmer Will, Molly also lives on a farm with her family and chickens. She has also been to the villa before. "With my job being in social media, I've had some amazing opportunities to go on press trips and I've actually been out to the Love Island Villas in Mallorca and South Africa. Having the experience to walk around both was amazing but to now actually live in the Villa is going to be incredible," she said.

George Fensom

George Fensom undoubtedly has the gift of the gab. The 24-year-old business development executive from Bedford backs himself as being the joker of the pack and the banter to back it up. Although when it comes to his pick of celebs to share the villa with, it's not what you might expect. "I'm going to go with a little sweetheart called Megan Fox [7], if you've seen Transformers. The second would be Anne Hegerty from The Chase, I wouldn't crack on with her but I'd have a laugh with her. I'd also like Nigella Lawson [8] to cook something sexy," he revealed.

After just one week in the villa, George was left last in the recoupling and was sent home.

Catherine Agbaje

Catherine Agbaje, 22, from Dublin is a commercial estate agent who is "always happy, always laughing". Despite many people thinking otherwise, her teeth are real — and she has two degrees. "I have my undergrad and my masters in Psychology and Sociology and Real Estate," she said.

Mehdi Edno

Davide might have been our Italian Stallion when he won the series in 2022 with Ekin-Su [9], but we have now got a French fittie for 2023. Medhi Edno, 26, is a communications manager from Bordeaux, but living in London. What's his chat-up line? "I'd simply start by speaking French, that usually gets girls interested," he said.

Medhi was voted out by the public and dumped from the villa.

Ella Thomas

Ella Thomas, 23, is a model from Glasgow, and appearing on "Love Island" isn't her first brush with fame. "I've been in a Headie One and Burna Burna Boy music video and I was once an extra in World War Z. I was 12 years old when I filmed it and got to meet Brad Pitt [10] which was cool," she revealed.

Mitchel Taylor

Mitchel Taylor, 26, is a gas engineer from Sheffield, and is not playing around when it comes to finding love. "I'm just really picky. I've got to find the girl that I want to marry and have kids with. I'm nearly 27, I don't want to play the field anymore, I want to find the one," he said.

Jess Harding

The 22-year-old aesthetics practitioner from London is looking for love, but if he carried a lunchbox, then he's not the one! "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!" she said.

André Furtado

André Furtado, 21, admits he falls in love easily. The business owner from Dudley adds: "I'm charming, I'm going to bring good looks and some language lessons. I'm going to teach the other Islanders Portuguese, Spanish and a little bit of Creole. I think I've got every slice of the pie."
