Meet The Cast of Love Island Australia

Austen Bugeja

Age: 22
Spray painter / Semi-professional soccer player
Sydney, NSW

Growing up outside of Penrith, Austen has natural charm added with lots of class and personality.

Being of Chilean and Maltese background, he looks up to his grandfather who came to Australia from Malta and worked hard to make a success out of his life. He has excelled at sports all his life, including soccer where he plays at a top level.

Austen is a proud mummy’s boy. When he was younger, he used to get grounded if he left the house without cologne.

He wears a pearl necklace, much like one of his fashion idols, singer Harry Styles. Austen is extremely popular with the ladies when he goes out and has no trouble picking up, he has just not found ‘the one’. He works as a spray painter on cars, a job he loves. With equally stunning eyes and smile that light up any room, Austen will immediately be a target for the girls

Mitchell Eliot

Age: 25
Personal Trainer
Sydney, NSW

Our resident Kiwi in the villa, Mitchell (Mitch) just recently moved to Sydney full time from Auckland.

Mitch struck gold when he was studying to be a personal trainer in New Zealand, he met three women who were later to become long term PT clients. He no longer has those clients after he made the decision to move to Sydney across the ditch. That’s when the Love Island Australia opportunity popped up, and it couldn’t have come at a better time.

Described as a Kiwi prankster with a kind heart, Mitchell is ready to enter the Love Island villa. He has had one serious relationship with a girl who broke his heart. He was in love with her, but she didn’t love him back. He admits he played the field but is ready to settle down.

Jordan Dowsett

Age: 25
FIFO Electrician
Gold Coast, QLD

Originally from the small town of Longford, near Sale in country Victoria, Jordan recently made the move to the Gold Coast and hasn’t looked back.

He moved after an eight-year relationship ended with his high school sweetheart a couple of years ago. He and his girlfriend had been together since they were 14 years old.

Jordan wanted to explore life so he moved to the Gold Coast with mates. He hopes the Love Island Australia experience is an extension of that by doing new things and being adventurous. Jordan is an electrician and currently works as a FIFO worker which he loves.

His signature mullet is not going anywhere, officially the first mullet in the Love Island Australia villa in the four seasons of the show. Jordan is a very talented AFL footballer, having played for Sale in a top country league. He hopes to restart AFL on the Gold Coast once this amazing experience on Love Island Australia ends.

Conor Howard

Age: 26
Real Estate Agent
Sydney, NSW

Born and bred in Sydney, Conor went to school in Maroubra in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. At the age of 19 he got a job in a family real estate business and he hasn’t looked back.

He is a top real estate agent in Sydney’s Eastern and South Coastal regions including the hotspot of Coogee. An alpha male, Conor is ambitious, knows what he wants and isn’t afraid of expressing opinion.

He will definitely ruffle some feathers in the villa, with both the girls and the boys. He takes his fitness very seriously, inspired by his father who has always been super fit.

Conor believes he has never been in love before and wanted to do something completely unique like Love Island Australia to try and find it. One of the reasons he wanted to go on the show is to also get him out of his comfort zone.

Andre Coutinho

Age: 26
Mental Health Support Worker
Perth, WA

Brain, brawn and beautiful could be three words to describe Andre, who was born and raised in Perth. He has a psychology degree and works as a mental health support worker. Andre is another Islander who is a top AFL footballer.

He had a childhood birth injury with his shoulder and he was banned from playing contact sport.

When he was around 12 he convinced his mother to let him have a go at AFL and it was the best thing that ever happened. Andre has a very on trend fashion style and striking look which will turn heads as he enters the villa.

He is also good friends with one of last year’s Islanders, Noah Hura, who is also from Perth and recommended Andre be part of the show.

Callum Hole

Age: 24
PT / Pool Boy
Brisbane, QLD

Huge personality – mixed with naughtiness – is a way to describe Callum. The girls will drool over his thick Welsh accent, and he admits he will use this to snare a ‘bird’ as he likes to say.

Working as a pool boy at a top Brisbane hotel, Callum is used to entertaining VIP’s and working his charm.

He also works as a personal trainer during the week and has some regular clients. He admits he has ultimate playboy energy as he heads into the villa. He is bound to make a memorable entrance.

Will he be able to contain that and actually meet someone special and who can embrace his outgoing, strong personality? The girls, the boys and the Australian public are going to fall in love with the hilarious Welshman.

Tak Chipangura

Age: 22
Security Guard / Tik Tok Rapper
Brisbane, QLD

At 22 Tak has already achieved and done so much with his life. Born in Zimbabwe, he came to Australia when he was a boy after his parents emigrated to Australia to become nurses, working their way up in the hospital system.

Tak grew up in Wagga Wagga where he became a champion footballer. He has been selected for youth AFL games for both the Brisbane Lions and Greater Western Sydney but gave up the game after falling out of love with it.

He spent time studying to be a helicopter pilot for the Australian Army before realising it was not for him. Instead he has drifted to music, performing under the name ‘Bravo 2 Real’.

Not afraid to speak his mind, Tak is a great talker and potentially could ruffle some feathers in the villa. He has strong morals and will stick to them in the villa. This means at times he won’t be afraid to call the boys out, to their face or to the girls behind their back.

Medical secretary
Adelaide, SA

She is no nonsense and takes no rubbish and will quite happily cut someone off – including girlfriends – if they treat her badly.

Drama, she says, follows her everywhere. While she is over the men in Adelaide, she still has plenty of male friends.

She works as a medical secretary but on the side also acts. She would love to do more acting and with her strong, bubbly personality she has serious star quality. The boys are going to go wild for Claudia the moment she walks into the villa.

Holly Oakes-Ferguson

Her mother picked a place on the map of Australia and they packed up everything on a whim. For her day job, Holly works as a customer service officer in the lottery industry, she loves a chat and has zero filter.

Layla John

The youngest Islander in the villa, but she definitely won’t be the quietest. Layla already has a start in show business, having attended high school at the Patrick School of Arts in Melbourne majoring in dance.

She hopes to make a career out of dancing. Layla knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to express her opinions, and she will bring this to the villa.

Some of the girls will love her, some may not. At 20 she hasn’t really had a relationship, but she once fell for her best friend’s boyfriend and secretly dated him for a month.

With a dry sense of humour and straightforwardness, she could be the centre of the drama with both girls and the guys, which she wouldn’t mind.

Layla lives in the Melbourne suburb of Essendon with her parents. She had a part-time job the past year at one of Melbourne’s hottest bars.

Phoebe also likes fit men with blonde hair, if she had to pick a physical attribute. She is however ready to change her dating habits in the villa and go for someone who is not a footballer.
