In an interview with ITV she explains; “I’m single and looking for love, and it’s the perfect opportunity for me to find someone.

“I’m a relationship kind of girl, but so far it’s not worked out for me. So I’m looking forward to hopefully finding the right person in the Villa.”

She added: “I’m really caring, when I’m with someone I’m all about them.

Ruchee is really loyal and says her love language is gift giving, “I’m a real giver when it comes to relationships.”

The third contestant announced is Molly Marsh, is a 21-year-old musical theatre performer and social media content creator living in Doncaster.

Speaking to ITV she said, “I think it’s ideal timing and the perfect way to find someone.

Molly says she does not go out and party and she also does not use dating apps.

“I’m actually quite old-fashioned, so there’s no better way to meet someone than by going into a Villa in the sun with the potential ‘one’ in there.

“With my job being in social media, I’ve had some amazing opportunities to go on press trips and I’ve actually been out to the Love Island Villas in Mallorca and South Africa”.

He says he is bringing dad jokes and dad dancing to the villa, “My go-to dance move is what I call the Dad Dance”.

His ideal partner is someone who is passionate about something and he can have some banter with.

Mehdi Edno, a 26-year-old French Model is sure to have some girls swooning in the villa.

He tells ITV, “I’ve been busy for the last few years with work, and doing my Masters degree but now I’m done with the busy schedule, and ready to find love.”

He says he usually charms the ladies by speaking French, “I’d simply start by speaking French, that usually gets girls interested.”

He added: “Looks are important but they aren’t everything, a good sense of humour and someone who is outgoing and up for an adventure is what I’m looking for.”

Jess Harding is a 22-year-old beautician from London.

She tells ITV she has a big personality as well as a heart of gold. “I’m honest, and I love, love. I’m also a really good girlfriend”

She is not a fan of men who are flashy, “When a guy stunts for money, that’s an ick. Showing off all their designer clothes because most of the time they’re probably fake anyway!

“Another one is when a boy runs for the train and the train goes without him. Lunch Boxes also – just go to Tesco and get a meal deal!”

“Because every boy is giving me the ick at the moment. I feel like it’s fate because I’m saving myself for Mr Right in the Villa!”

Andre Furtado is a 21-year-old business owner from Dudley.

He speaks three languages and speaking to ITV, he said: “I’m charming, I’m going to bring good looks and some language lessons. I’m going to teach the other Islanders Portuguese, Spanish and a little bit of Creole. I think I’ve got every slice of the pie.”

He says he has a habit of falling too quickly,

“When I look at beautiful ladies, before I’ve said hello to them I’ve already fallen in love. I’m already planning the wedding.”
