When asked why he applied for Love Island now and what he's looking for in a partner, Ronnie said: "It’s the perfect time for me, I feel like I’m mature enough for something serious with the right girl.

"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 is Ciaran Davies' job?

As well as working as a surveyor, the handsome Welshman plays for Rugby Union team Tondu RFC.
