What made you want to take part in the new series of Love Island?

I want to date face-to-face, I like meeting people. I’m easy going, laid back. Who wouldn’t want to be in a nice villa in a hot country for a while?

What would your colleagues say about you?

I try and make as much money as I can by doing as little as possible. They’d probably say – not lazy, as I’m energetic – I just try to get away with doing literally nothing.

How would your friends and family describe you?

I’m the person that’ll take the p*** out of them but I’m the first one that they’ll go to if they’ve got any problems. I try to have a laugh and try not to take anything too seriously. They’d probably say I’m too honest.

What do you look for in a romantic partner?

Someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously. I could not be with someone that’s constantly on your case. I’d say I like dark hair, dark skin, dark eyes. But then my ex-girlfriend who I was with for over 8 years was fair skinned, blue eyes, blonde hair.

What’s been your best or worst date?

I’ve never been on a blind date. I’ll just be myself and go with it. When I was in a relationship we only went for about 3 or 4 meals out as I cooked myself. I’ve been told I’m quite a good cook.

What are you most excited about?

The socialising side of it – meeting new people. And that’s not just meeting the lasses, meeting everyone.

Who is your celebrity crush?

Sommer Ray from Instagram. Zara McDermott, she’s a good-looking lass. Or Megan Fox.

What would be your ideal date?

A boat springs to mind – the Love Island dates on a boat always look the best. In the middle of nowhere just chilling.

Do you have a party trick?

I don’t have a party trick – I’m absolutely useless. I bought a guitar in lockdown. Bought it, looked at it, learnt like a chord…
