NAME: Mimi Ngulube
AGE: 24
OF: city ports
OCCUPATION: Mental health nurse
WHY LOVE THE ISLAND? The pool in Portsmouth doesn’t do much. I’ve tried dating people, talking to people on social media and it hasn’t been successful. The request was something spontaneous, I didn’t expect to get this far!
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? My girls are my rock and I’m their rock, so I’ll be a good friend and I’ll also go find a man. I like to dress well, so I’ll bring style, and I’d like to think I’m pretty funny, so I’ll make people laugh. I’ll also be honest – I’m good at spotting people’s personality traits and glancing at those who might be liars.

OCCUPATION: Sweet Seller
WHY LOVE THE ISLAND? I’ve always loved relationships and when you find someone you want to be with it’s the best feeling. Now is the perfect time, the only thing missing is my soulmate.
HOW WOULD FRIENDS/FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? I am very affectionate, attentive and considerate. I’m the kind of person that, if you break down on the highway and need to change a tire, I’ll be there at any time of the night.
NAME: Harriet Blackmore
AGE: 24
OF: Brighton

NAME: Ayo Odukoya
AGE: 25
OF: canning city
OCCUPATION: Model
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? I think it would bring excitement and joy. I think people would have someone to approach and talk to and feel comfortable being around or laugh with. I think I’m someone that everyone would accept.
WHY SHOULD SOMEONE DATE YOU? I feel like the way I carry myself is very respectful and I think people accept that and once you show who you are to someone, you get ten times more. My way of being transmits an energy good enough for people to feel comfortable around me.

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

NAME: jess white
AGE: 25
OF: Stockport
OCCUPATION: Retail Sales Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I don’t underestimate the fact that I am a hard worker. I know what I want and I am not easily pleased. When you’re an outgoing, loud woman, sometimes that can intimidate men, and men don’t always want that.
WHAT IS YOUR ROLE TYPE? I love white turkey teeth, but well defined turkey teeth. I would say personality traits are important, you have to be family oriented. You have to be tall, you can’t be shorter than me, I can’t have to question if I can wear heels around you and what height of heels I can wear. If you are short, it is not for me.
NAME: Ciaran Davies
AGE: twenty-one
OF: Pencoed, South Wales
OCCUPATION: Surveyor
WHAT IS YOUR ROLE TYPE? Obviously it seems like it, but humor is a big thing for me, I’m a bit nervous 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.
DO YOU CLAIM FAME? When I was in Malia on vacation with my boys, I pretended to be Liam Reardon from Season 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.

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WILL BRING TO THE VILLA? I’m fun, I like to get involved, so I’d like to think I’ll be hooked as soon as I arrive.

I’m not very good at taking no for an answer.
