Why did Josh sign up for Love Island summer 2023?
Although the other Islanders have been experiencing the show for nearly six weeks already, Josh’s reason for signing up is no different.
“It’s such an amazing opportunity, and not many people are fortunate enough to experience it, so I feel really excited and lucky to be heading into the villa,” he admits. “I can’t wait to get grafting the girls!”
What is Josh looking for in a partner?
As for what he wants in his other half, Josh has three major things on his checklist: “Confidence, ambition and someone who knows what they want.”
And he has his eye on one of the girls already – although her partner may not be best pleased!
“I’m going to go in there and be myself,” says Josh. “I don’t think Sammy Root and Jess Harding are that strong, so I hope to make a big impression on Jess when I arrive as she’s someone I’d definitely like to explore a connection with.”
Continuing that he will avoid pursuing things with Ella Thomas because of her relationship with Tyrique Hyde – “You can clearly see Tyrique has had his fun but he seems to know what he wants now,” – Josh adds: “I’m most attracted to Jess and Kady McDermott. Personality wise, I think I’d be a great match for Jess. She’s so bubbly and has similar energy to me.
“Kady is also beautiful, she’s a similar age to me and seems to know what she wants which I think is really attractive.”
