Who is Luke Trotman? Love Island contestant and semi-pro footballer
LUKE Trotman is looking for romance as a late addition to the Love Island villa in South Africa.
The semi-professional footballer is hoping to turn a few heads but which girls is he hoping to catch the eye of? Here's all we know about the sportsman...
Who is Love Island's Luke Trotman?
Luke Trotman is a semi-professional footballer from Luton.
He started his footie career at Luton Town and is now in the squad for Darlington FC.
The 22-year-old is also still a student and his claim to fame is the fact his mother, Beverley Trotman, came sixth in The X Factor in 2007.
He explained: "I appeared on TV cheering her on in the audience. She’s done a few musicals and she’s in the Kingdom Choir now… but she didn’t perform at Meghan and Harry’s wedding!"
Luke rates himself as a "strong 8" and says he always gets compliments about his smile.
He describes himself as positive, smiley and energetic but admits he can be quite stubborn.
As for what he finds to be a turn on in girls, Luke says: "I really like girls who are intelligent. So, I’d be looking for someone who’s got a bit of something about them."
And in case you were wondering, he's loyal!
Luke adds: "I don’t have a wandering eye, I wouldn’t ever play anyone. I wouldn’t lie to someone and then go and do something else. I’d try and be open."
What is Luke Trotman looking for in the Love Island villa this winter?
The footballer plans to bring a "nice energy" to the villa and he's hoping he can meet someone that he will have a relationship with.
He explained: "My New Year's resolution is to find love, I really am looking for the real deal. My parents met when they were teenagers and are still together now so that's what I want."
Luke has got his eye on Leanne Amaning, Siânnise Fudge, Sophie Piper and Rebecca Gormley, so expect him to start making his moves as soon as he enters the Love Island villa.
He admitted: "I wouldn't mind stepping on someone's toes. But I would probably ask them before. I like to think I would."
Mike Boateng and Connor Durman better watch out!
