LOVE ISLAND 2024: MEET THE CONTESTANTS

NAME: Mimii Ngulube

AGE: 24

OF: portsmouth

OCCUPATION: Mental health nurse

WHY LOVE THE ISLAND? The pool in Portsmouth does not give. I tried dating, talking to people on social media and I just wasn’t successful. Applying was spontaneous, I didn’t expect to get here!

WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? My girls are my rocks and I am theirs, so I will be a good friend and also go there to find a man. I like dressing up, so I’ll bring style and I’d like to think I’m funny enough to make people laugh. I also bring honesty: I am good at picking up on people’s personality traits and looking askance at those who might be liars.

AGE: 23

OF: Couch

OCCUPATION: Stylist

WHY LOVE THE ISLAND? At this point in my life I just want the opportunity to find a real connection with someone. I have been looking for that connection for quite some time but have never really found it, I hope to find that spark in the Villa.

WHAT DO YOU WANT THE ISLANDERS TO KNOW? I would say don’t judge a book by its cover because how I look compared to what I do at work doesn’t necessarily add up. You wouldn’t look at me as a tall guy covered in tattoos and think I make a living making girls’ hair look pretty.

WHAT DO YOU WANT THE ISLANDERS TO KNOW? I have something very special in me which is my disability, it is 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 have learned to move forward and that has never stopped me.

HOW WOULD FRIENDS/FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? My friends would say I’m the loudest person in the group, I’m the one who’s always up for a challenge, the life of the party. My family would say I’m bossy and it’s always my way or the highway, they’d say I’m boss.

OCCUPATION: Model

WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? I think it would bring excitement and joy. I think people would have someone to come up to, talk to and feel comfortable being around or laugh with. I think I’m someone everyone would accept.

WHY SHOULD SOMEONE DATE YOU? I feel like the way I carry myself is very respectful and I think people embrace that and once you show who you are to someone, you get it back tenfold. My way of being gives off an energy good enough to make people feel comfortable around me.

WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I’ve enjoyed the single life and the attention from different guys, it’s fun. I enjoyed being able to go on vacation with the girls and not have to worry about anyone at home. All the girls are there texting in their room and I’m out until 4 in the morning living my best life.

WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT 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.

NAME: jess white

AGE: 25

OF: Stockport

OCCUPATION: Retail Sales Manager

WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I don’t underestimate the fact that I work hard. I know what I want and I don’t settle easily. When you’re a loud, outgoing woman, sometimes that can intimidate men; Men don’t always want that.

WHAT IS YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? I love white turkey cloves, but good old turkey cloves. I would say they are personality traits, you have to be family oriented. You have to be tall, you can’t be shorter than me, I can’t have to wonder if I can wear heels with you and what height of heels I can wear. If you are vertically challenged, it’s not for me.

NAME: Ciaran Davies

AGE: twenty-one

OF: Pencoed, South Wales

OCCUPATION: Surveyor

WHAT IS YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? Obviously it seems like it, but humor is a big thing for me, I’m a little nervous so I want a girl who can give it back to me. Loyalty is another for me, I think it is the most important thing to look for in a relationship.

DO YOU CLAIM 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.
