Josh Sunday Oyinsan

Age: 29

Job: Semi-professional footballer and model

Instagram: @joshoyinsan26

Ready to bring "cheekiness, honesty and banter" into the villa, Josh is looking for something different and believes that Love Island can give him just that.

"And now, because I'm single and I feel like I'm the best version of myself," he said.

Reuben Collins

Age: 23

Job: Account assistant

Instagram: @reubencollins_

Straight-talking Reuben hopes he will be a "fun Islander" in the villa, and says he is "someone that likes to have a good time" and will go for what he wants.

Jess Spencer

Age: 25

Job: Fashion stylist

Instagram: @jessleighanne_

Londoner Jess describes herself as "funny, flirty, sassy and ready to find love" and had her eyes on Ayo before entering Casa Amor.

This proved to be useful for Jess S as Ayo chose to recouple up with her, leaving Mimii single.

Jessy Potts

Age: 25

Job: Brand partnerships associate

From: Leicester

Instagram: @jessymaypotts

Jessy Potts is a 25-year-old brand partnerships associate from Leicester. In the villa, Jessy will be getting stuck in and wants to get involved as much as possible when she arrives.

"I also have a very sarcastic sense of humour so I'll make everyone laugh," she said ahead of her appearance. "But I'm a Sagittarius so I also have a fiery side and not afraid to say what I think or stand my ground. I'm not very good at taking no for an answer."

Jessy sees herself as quite different to the Islanders, describing herself as "the girl next door but with a bit of an edge".

Matilda Draper

Age: 24

Instagram: @matildajdraper

Job: Recruitment consultant

Matilda stormed into the villa on Wednesday (19th June) and caused chaos as she picked Omar, Sean and Wil as part of the Dishy Dates challenge.

She said of joining the show: "I want to bring sunshine to the Villa, I’m lighthearted and don’t take myself too seriously. If things get too serious in the Villa I’m going to throw in a little joke or a ‘would you rather’.

"I’m obsessed with playing Would You Rather, I’ve got a list of 80 questions on my phone, it’s the best thing ever, I often think of questions and write them down before I go to bed."

Grace Jackson

Age: 25

Instagram: @gracexrosa

Job: Influencer

Model Grace Jackson entered the villa as a new bombshell on Friday (14th June), and is Joey Essex's ex.

"I’m excited to get to know someone on face value, and be somewhere where you’re forced to have a conversation and be a bit more open," she said of her arrival.

"This is something that would push me out of my comfort zone, I don’t really date a lot. I get myself in situationships with people I know that I shouldn’t give my time to! I like someone who doesn’t take themselves and life too seriously… and who can bring out the good side."

Ayo Odukoya

Age: 25

Instagram: @cozy.a1

Job: Model

From: Canning Town

Why Love Island and why now?

"It seems like something to have a go at. Of course, you can’t go wrong trying to find that love again - that is something that would be amazing to find if possible. I don’t really like being outside too much, I’ve been outside recently and it’s not fun outside! I do prefer to be indoors chilling with that person I can do stuff with. It would be nice to have that with somebody again."

What do you think you’ll bring to the Villa?

"I think I’d bring excitement and joy. I think people would have someone to come to and talk to and feel comfortable being around or to have a laugh with. I think I’m somebody everyone would take to."

What makes you a catch?

"I feel like the way I carry myself is very respectful and I think people take to that and once you show who you are to somebody you get it back tenfold. The way I am gives off a good enough energy for people to feel comfortable around me."

Joey Essex

Age: 33

Instagram: @joeyessex

Job: TV personality

From: Southwark, London

Joey Essex entered the Love Island villa in style as he shocked the Islanders and viewers alike with new Islander status.

Sean Stone

Age: 24

Instagram: @seanstone__

Job: Sweet salesman

From: Hertford

Why Love Island and why now?

"I’ve always been one for relationships and when you have found someone you want to be with it’s the best feeling. Now is the perfect time, the one thing that is missing is my soulmate."

What makes you a catch?

"5’11, tall, dark and handsome. Not quite 6 foot. Great smile, great teeth, great arms and abs - the full package."

How would your friends and family describe you?

"Very loving, caring and thoughtful. I’m the kind of guy that if you broke down on the motorway and needed your tyre changed, I’d be there at any time of night."

Mimii Ngulube

Age: 24

Instagram: @mimiitafara

Job: Mental Health Nurse

From: Portsmouth

Why Love Island and why now?

"The pool in Portsmouth is not giving. I’ve tried dating, speaking to people on social media and it just hasn’t been successful. Applying was a spontaneous thing, I didn’t expect to get here!"

What do you think you’ll bring to the Villa?

"I’m a girls’ girl. My girls are my rocks and I’m theirs so I’ll be a good friend as well as going in there to find a man. I like dressing up so I’ll bring style, and I’d like to think I’m quite funny so I’ll make people laugh. Bringing honesty as well - I’m good at picking up on people's personality traits and side-eyeing those who might be a liar."

How would friends/family describe you?

"Loving, supportive, considerate, empathetic, loyal, and I’ve got a big heart!"

Ciaran Davies

Age: 21

Instagram: @ciarandaviesss

Job: Surveyor

From: Pencoed, South Wales

Why Love Island and why now?

"It’s the perfect time for me, I feel like I’m mature enough for something serious with the right girl."

If you had to pick three of the most important things you look for in a partner what would they be?

"Obviously looks but humour is a big thing for me, I’m a bit of a wind up so I want a girl who can give it back. Loyalty is another one for me, I think that’s the most important thing to look for in a relationship."

What’s your claim to fame?

"When I was in Malia on a boys holiday I pretended to be Liam Reardon from series 7 to get into a club because they wouldn’t let us in. It worked and we ended up getting a private booth and free drinks all night."

Nicole Samuel

Age: 24

Instagram: @nicolesams123

Job: Accounts manager

From: Aberdare

What do you think you’ll bring to the Villa?

"My personality is big and I’m pretty out there, I reckon I’ll probably have one of the biggest personalities in the Villa."

Why would you say you’re single?

"I’ve been enjoying single life and the attention of different boys, it’s fun. I’ve enjoyed being able to go on holiday with the girls and not having to worry about someone back home. All the girls are there texting in their room and I’m out till 4 in the morning living my best life."

Tell us something not many people know about you?

"I became a world champion dancer in 2011, not many people know that. I was a professional street dancer."

Konnor chose to recouple with Emma after Casa Amor but they eventually became just friends and soon, Emma was dumped from the villa.

"There are some really solid connections in there with people I hope will be there until the end. I’ve enjoyed my time in the villa and made some amazing friends, it was an incredible opportunity, so I’m really glad I’ve done it but I’m glad to leave when I did."

"It was nothing like I expected, it was everything and more. Everyone has been beyond lovely from the amazing Islanders I was with in the villa to the production team and crew, everyone has just made my experience even more than I ever imagined it to be."

Instagram: @omarnyame

Omar is reportedly friends with grime icon Stormzy, and says he wants to find "real love" in the villa because he's "done with messing around and casually seeing girls".

He says he'll bring "high energy, high frequency and vibes" to the series, and adds: "I just want to make sure everyone has a laugh, that’s what I’m all about, I like to make sure everyone is having a good time and has a smile on their face."

Samantha Kenny - DUMPED in episode 16

Age: 26

Instagram: @samanthakennymakeup

Job: Make-up artist

From: Liverpool

Why Love Island and why now?

"I’m ready to settle down and Love Island is an amazing opportunity to meet someone that isn’t from my area. I love a cockney boy so I’m hoping there is one in there for me."

What do you think you’ll bring to the Villa?

"I think I will definitely bring some fire, I’m very opinionated and wear my heart on my sleeve. I’m really bubbly too so I’ll definitely have a laugh as well as bringing some scouse glamour."

Why would you say you’re single?

"I don’t get out enough, I work weekends and tend to not go out in Liverpool anymore. If I want a night out I go down to London as I love the boys down south. Tall, dark and cockney is my type."

Patsy Field - DUMPED in episode 10

Age: 29

Instagram: @patsylouu

Job: Office Administrator

From: Orpington

Why Love Island and why now?

"I’m finally ready to find a sexy man and I think Love Island may just have some nice hunky guys for me. I think now is the right time as I’ve got a few greys so I need to bag a man sooner rather than later."

If there was one thing you’d want your new fellow Islanders to know about you, what would it be?

"I’ve got something very special about me which is my disability, it’s a condition I was born with called Ebs Palsy. It doesn't define who I am , but it makes me a little different, although I’ve learnt to get on with it and it’s never held me back."

How would friends/family describe you?

"My friends would say that I’m the loudest person in the group, I’m the one who’s always up for doing a dare, they’d say I was the life and soul of the party.

"My family would say that I’m bossy and that it’s always my way or the highway, they’d say I rule the roost."

Munveer Jabbal - DUMPED in episode 10

Age: 30

Instagram: @munveerj

Job: Recruitment manager

From: Surbiton, Surrey

Why Love Island and why now?

"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."

Why would you say you’re single?

"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."

What’s your claim to fame?

"I’m mates with Spencer Morgan (Piers Morgan’s son). We met when I moved to Fulham in 2018."

Sam Taylor - DUMPED in episode 2

Age: 23

Instagram: @samtaylorhair

Job: Hair Stylist

From: Chesterfield

Why Love Island and why now?

"At this point in my life I just want the opportunity to find a real connection with someone. I’ve been looking for that connection for quite some time but I’ve never really found it, I’m hoping I find that spark in the Villa."

What makes you a catch?

"My personality and chat, I’d like to think I’ve got lots of depth and substance which should hopefully help me out when trying to find a connection."

If there was one thing you’d want your new fellow Islanders to know about you, what would it be?

"I’d say not to judge a book by its cover because how I look compared to what I do for work might not necessarily add up. You wouldn’t look at me as a tall guy covered in tattoos and think that I make girls' hair look pretty for a living."

Love Island 2024 continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
