ITV announced the lineup for the summer series of Love Island 2024 today.
The series will return on Monday, June 3rd, and will see 12 sexy new singletons enter the iconic villa in the hopes of finding love.
While many of the Islanders will also be seeking fame and fortune, two of the contestants already have celebrity connections.
Ronnie Vint, a semi professional footballer, is the best friend of Bradley Dack – the footballer husband of Love Island legend Olivia Attwood.
Speaking ahead of his appearance on the show, the 27-year-old said: “Bradley Dack is my best friend and he and Olivia are a big part of my life. I call Olivia my big little sister, she always looks out for me.
When asked why he’s single, the London native said: “I’ve had two serious relationships in the past but more recently have enjoyed being single and doing my own thing as I’ve been focussed on my football career.
“I’ve got to the age where I want to find the right person I can build a life with.”
“I want someone that’s family orientated, caring and career minded. Lookwise, I like blondes with nice boobs but am partial to a brunette too,” he added.
Another contestant who has celebrity ties is Munveer Jabbal.
The 30-year-old, who works as a recruitment manager, is a close friend of Spencer Morgan, the son of broadcaster Piers Morgan.
When asked why he signed up for the show, he said: “London dating hasn’t worked out for me. The opportunity to be surrounded by good looking people in a villa under the sun is an absolute no brainer!
“I’m 30 years old and I need to start thinking seriously about the next step, and what better place.
“I haven’t found the right girl, I’m quite picky and have high standards. Dating in London is horrible. You don’t know who’s single… but now you’re putting me in a place where everyone’s single so there’s no issues around that.”
