Love Island 2023 full cast line-up revealed: Meet the contestants
LOVE Island is back on TV with a line-up of sexy Islanders - with more bombshells set to arrive.
Here, we reveal the boys and girls who are in the famous villa right now.
THE GIRLS
Ruchee Gurung, 24
Beautician from Sutton
Fans are already going wild for stunning Ruchee Gurung - who has been branded "gorgeous" by countless viewers.
However, the star in the making has already set out the sort of man she has absolutely no time for.
Ruchee said: "Guys with no ambition. 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."
OK producers, keep that EasyJet on standby...
Molly Marsh, 21
Musical Theatre Performer and Social Media Creator from Doncaster
Beautiful Molly Marsh isn't any stranger to either fame or the Love Island villa.
Her mum Janet has appeared on Coronation Street and she's visited both the houses in Majorca and South Africa.
Molly said: "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."
Catherine Agbaje, 22
Commercial Real Estate Agent from Dublin
Irish estate agent Catherine Agbaje insists: "I’m fun, I’m flirty, I’m just never boring. I can chat your ears off!"
The Dublin girl, who has degrees in psychology and sociology and real estate, said friends would describe her as: "Someone who is fun and a loving character.
"They know I have so much love to give. I’m always smiling, I’m always happy, I’m always laughing.
"You’ll always see me with a smile on my face."
Ella Thomas, 23
Supermodel from Glasgow
Scottish supermodel Ella Thomas is joining the line-up - described as "breathtaking to look at".
A source told The Sun: "Bosses have swayed towards more regular girl and boy next door hotties in recent years but casting Ella marks a step change."
They added: “Bosses are really confident Scottish firecracker Ella is going to make a splash this series.”
Before going into the villa, Ella said: "I’d let the boys know that I’m wifey material so don’t play with me!"
Jess Harding, 22
Beautician from London
The Sun revealed on Saturday that glam beauty salon owner Jess Harding had been signed up for the summer series.
A source explained: "Jess is one of the most glamorous islanders ever and is sure to be a big hit with the boys and viewers."
But there are a string of reasons a boy might not be a hit with her.
She said: "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!"
THE BOYS
Zachariah Noble, 25
Personal trainer and basketball player from London
Zachariah Noble was the first bombshell to arrive on Love Island and entered the villa on the first night to shake things up.
Speaking to ITV about deciding to go on the show, Zach said: "I always say, ‘You only grow as a person when you take yourself out of your comfort zone’ and I think it’s something that’s so far out of my comfort zone, I’d be silly not to give it a go.
"Being 25, I’m at a crossroads where I’ve been having fun, but I also want to have the peace and harmony that comes from being with the right woman."
Tyrique Hyde, 24
Semi-professional footballer from Essex
It just wouldn't be Love Island without a footballer who you've never heard of.
This year we welcome Tyrique Hyde, who is best friends with Toby Aromolaran and has promised to bring "vibes, confidence, good energy and honesty".
He said: "Toby is one of my best friends, we grew up together and were in the same class at school."
Tyrique added: "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."
George Fensom, 24
Business Development Executive from Bedford
George Fensom made a slightly leftfield choice when asked to name who he'd like to have with him in the villa.
The business exec said: "I’m going to go with a little sweetheart called Megan Fox, 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 to cook something sexy."
Mehdi Edno, 26
Communications manager from London and Bordeaux
Mehdi Edno reckons he can impress the girls with his flair for languages (erm, have you ever seen the show?)
He insisted: "I’d simply start by speaking French, that usually gets girls interested."
Hunk Mehdi - who is being described by the show as a "French fancy" - added: "Looks are important but they aren’t everything.
"A good sense of humour and someone who is outgoing and up for an adventure is what I’m looking for."
Mitchel Taylor, 26
Plumber from Sheffield
Hunky plumber Mitchel Taylor is one of the other stars revealed to be going into the villa this summer - being described as "this season's Davide".
He insisted: "I thrive on being a gentleman. I’ll shower you with flowers, I’ll take you on dates, I’ll fill your bedside drawer with your favourite sweets and chocolate.
";I’ve been single, I’ve had my fun and now I want to settle down."
Mitchel is unbelievably ripped, with a source explaining: "When he’s not pumping water, he’s pumping iron."
Andre Furtado, 21
Student and Instagram star
Hunky economics graduate and fashion designer Andre Furtado was one of the first names revealed - when he was described as "the perfect signing".

And he lives up to the show's title - saying love comes to him very easily.
Andre explained: "I would say I fall too quickly to be honest. When I look at beautiful ladies, before I’ve said hello to them I’ve already fallen in love. I’m already planning the wedding."
