Everything We Know About New Love Island Bombshells Mal And Montel

In a shocking twist last night, the least compatible Love Island couples (as voted by the other contestants) were told that they were being separated as couples, and are unable to recouple the next time they stand around the fire-pit. That left Mitch, Leah, Sammy and Jess all single and vulnerable. However, Maya Jama dropped another bomb on the Islanders, as she announced that two bombshells were waiting outside the villa to date the bottom four, right there and then. The drama!

We’ve got the inside scoop on the new bombshells Mal and Montel – their interviews will tell you everything you need to know.

 

Mal Nicol 

Age: 25

From: Edinburgh, lives in London 

Job: Picture researcher

Why are you going on Love Island?

“Since I moved to London, having the balance of seeing friends, work and gym, it’s really difficult to date at the same time. It’s quite exhausting to date in the real world. When you strip it back to no distractions or social situations your pure focus is on people. I’m intrigued to find a connection.”

Do you have your eye on any of the Islanders in particular?

“I do actually like Sammy. I think he’s quite funny and his personality is coming out more – there is something about him I fancy. I fancy Zach as well, Zach but I wouldn’t go in too strong on him as I feel like he’ll get a bit big for his boots because he’s had a lot of female attention. I think I’d play it cool with him. Scott seems lovely – I think he’s got really nice eyes. But I do usually go for a rugby boy not a footballer…”

What do you think about the girls in the Villa?

“I think they are all very different. Jess says it how it is and has good banter and I like her humour. I like Molly’s energy – it seems very contagious and very positive. I think I would vibe with them. Obviously Ella is from Glasgow so we have that in common.”

What kind of a bombshell are you going to be?

“I don’t have a game plan and I have never been one to be smooth with flirting. I know I can’t flirt, I can’t dance and I can’t sing, but I can guarantee I’ll be able to laugh them into my bed. I’ve never been a flirtatious person but my energy is quite endearing and cute. I think boys think I am quite sexy but because I’m goofy, I come across as sweet and innocent. I know I won’t have to go for them – they’ll probably come for me.”

How do you feel about the challenges?

“I am such an attention seeker, so I will love that. It’s going to feel so euphoric – that’s why I want someone who is playful and fun. Someone who is unapologetically themselves. Life’s too short – no-one cares.”

Did you get any rules given to you before heading into the Villa from your family and friends? 

“No rules! My parents have always supported everything I’ve ever done in my life. My dad is very old fashioned but he’s been the best – so supportive and excited for me. I’m their only child so they say to just be myself.”

 

 

Montel McKenzie 

Age: 25

From: East London

Job: Account Manager and semi-professional footballer

Why are you going on Love Island?

“I just haven’t found someone I want to date, I’m always so busy with work and football!”

Which Islanders have you got your eye on?

“My top three right now would be Catherine, Leah and Ella. Ella for me is generally my type, Catherine carries herself well and seems like a classy girl. Leah seems very chilled and that’s the kind of person I am.”

How do you feel about going for an Islander who is already getting to know someone else?

“I’m not really worried about that if I really want the girl. I’m not going to cause a problem over someone I am not interested in. I’ll definitely speak to Ella despite her being coupled up with Tyrique.”

What kind of bombshell are you going to be?

“I am used to people coming up to me – I’m lucky I guess! I don’t usually approach girls and win them over. I will definitely get on with the guys in there but, at the same time, I need to talk to everyone. I’ll just be the guy that I am – cool and calm.”

Do you think the boys are getting it right or wrong in the Villa so far?

“Mitch has got it completely wrong. It’s his sneakiness for me – he makes little comments about people and that’s not how I would go about things. Me and Tyrique are from similar places, so I think we might behave similarly. I like his attitude and I would probably say the same things as him in certain situations.”

Did your family or friends give you any rules or advice about going in the Villa?

“I’m definitely not going to have sex on TV, well, I said I would try my best!

What message would you like to give to the Islanders before you head into the Villa?

“Watch your girls because the guy that gets all of the girls is coming into the Love Island Villa.”
