NAME: Mimi Ngulube
AGE: 24
OF: city ports
OCCUPATION: Mental health nurse
WHY LOVE THE ISLAND? The pool in Portsmouth does not give. I tried going out and talking to people on social media and 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’m one of them, so I’ll be a good friend as well as going there to find a man. I like to dress 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’m good at picking up on people’s personality traits and looking askance at those who might be liars.
NAME: Sean Stone
AGE: 24
OF: Hertford
OCCUPATION: Sweets seller
WHY LOVE ISLAND? I’ve always been a believer in 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 YOUR 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: Ayo Odukoya
AGE: 25
OF: City of Canning
OCCUPATION: Model
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? I think it would bring excitement and joy. I think people would have someone to talk to and feel comfortable with or laugh with. I think I’m someone that everyone would feel comfortable with.
WHY SHOULD ANYONE DATE YOU? I feel like the way I carry myself is very respectful and I think people pick up on that and once you show who you are to someone, you get it back tenfold. My way of being gives off enough energy that people feel comfortable around me.

OF: Aberdare, Wales
OCCUPATION: Account Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I’ve been enjoying 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 back home. All the girls are there texting in their room and I’m out until 4am living my best life.
WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? In 2011 I became a world dance champion, but not many people know that. I was a professional street dancer.
NAME: jess white
AGE: 25
OF: Port of values
OCCUPATION: Retail Sales Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I don’t underestimate the fact that I’m a hard worker. I know what I want and I’m not easily pleased. When you’re an outgoing, loud woman, that can sometimes intimidate men, and men don’t always want that.
WHAT IS YOUR ROLE TYPE? I love white turkey teeth, but the good ones. I would say that as far as personality traits go, you have to have a family-friendly attitude. You have to be tall, you can’t be shorter than me, I can’t have to question whether I can wear heels around you and what height of heels I can wear. If you’re short, it’s 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 for me – I think it’s the most important thing to look for in a relationship.
WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? 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.

OCCUPATION:Coordinator of models and social media marketing
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? Neither boy has good communication and it is painful. I like someone who doesn’t take themselves or life too seriously. My lifestyle can put guys off a little, I really like going out and traveling abroad. They can’t keep up with my lifestyle. It’s the life I want and it helps me with my business.

NAME:Matilda Draper
AGE: 24
OF: Beckenham
OCCUPATION: Recruitment Consultant
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’LL BRING? I want the Villa to be sunny. I’m a cheerful person and I don’t take myself too seriously. If things get too serious in the Villa, I’ll throw in a little joke or a “Would you rather” question.

WHY LOVE THE ISLAND AND WHY NOW? I am ready to find someone. I have been in a couple of relationships and now I feel like it is the right time as I have learned from previous relationships. I will now be able to identify the red flags.

WHAT KIND OF ISLANDER ARE YOU GOING TO BE? I would say I am a charming person who goes after what I want, I am not afraid to express my feelings. I go to the Villa to find the girl of my dreams so this can irritate the boys.
NAME:Jessy Potts
AGE: 25
OF:Leicester
OCCUPATION:Brand Partnerships Associate
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’LL BRING TO THE VILLA? I’m fun, I like to get involved, so I’d like to think I’ll jump right in as soon as I get there. I also have a very sarcastic sense of humor, so I’ll make everyone laugh, but I’m a Sagittarius, so I also have a fiery side and I’m not afraid to speak my mind or stand my ground. I’m not very good at taking no for an answer.
