Ruchee Gurung was the first contestant confirmed for the summer series of Love Island 2023.
The popular dating show will return for its tenth sizzling series on Monday, June 5, with a host of brand new singletons looking for love.
The 24-year-old hails from Sutton, and works as a beautician.
Speaking ahead of her stint on Love Island, Ruchee revealed one of her dating “icks” is “guys with no ambition”.
Bizarrely, the 24-year-old added: “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.”
Host Maya Jama will preside over all the villa action this summer, whilst famed comedian and narrator Iain Stirling returns to voiceover each and every episode of the much-loved format.
Returning to ITV2 and Virgin Media in June, the Islanders must do their best to flirt, date and couple up in a bid to avoid being ‘dumped’ from the Island.
With new arrivals, heads may turn, while others will prove their true feelings. From romance and heart-to-hearts, to betrayal, bombshells and broken hearts, there’s never a dull moment in the ultimate search for love.
More texts, fire pit gatherings and challenges await the lovestruck Islanders, meaning there’ll be plenty for them to dish the dirt on in the Beach Hut.
Twists and turns will follow every step of the way, with shock recouplings, unexpected breakups and dramatic dumpings.
As the couples attempt to win the hearts of each other – and the public – one couple will ultimately triumph and be crowned Love Island winners for Summer 2023.
