Love Island 2022 kicks off in a couple weeks, where a bunch of impossibly attractive singles are grouped together to shag and slag each other off 24/7 for the duration of the summer.
They’ll be staying in a brand new villa in Mallorca where everyone will basically be naked or in their swimwear the whole time, which let’s be honest – is the real reason most people watch this sh*te. Here’s a rundown of the contestants taking part in season 8…
27-year-old, 6 foot 2 basketball player Jordan Spencer will be flying over from America to take part.
Boxer and model Joshua Legrove could easily beat up any of the other lads in the villa, so let’s hope it comes to that.
Turkish actress and influencer Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu already boasts 345,000 followers on Instagram – dwarfing her fellow contestants in terms of social media presence. Real currency in this day and age!
22-year-old Sophie Draper from Nottingham dated Aston Villa player Matty Cash for fours years. So that’s something.
19-year-old Gemma Owen is none other than the daughter of Michael Owen. She’s an international dressage rider and also owns OG Beachwear. She recently had an awkward OnlyFans mix-up that went viral, but probably nothing compared to what she’ll get up to on Love Island.
This guy with the dumb tattoos is Brad McDermott – brother of former Love Islander Zara McDermott. With that kind of lineage, you have to argue he’s got an inherent advantage on his co-stars.
Last but not least, we have Missy Kitting – daughter of Boyzone’s Ronan Keating. Looks like a fun time doesn’t she?
So that’s the line-up this far. The official Love Island Twitter account has confirmed the series will kick off on ITV2 and ITV Hub on Monday 6th June – less than a fortnight from now. A bunch of beach bodied bros and gals surrounded by alcohol and warm weather; a simple formula that should ensure plenty of fireworks and viral moments. Thoughts & prayers with Ronan Keating and Michael Owen at this difficult time.
