Why did Liam Llewellyn want to take part in Love Island?<\/h2>\n

Talking about his decision to enter the villa, he said: \u201cI think 22 is a really nice age to meet someone, you\u2019ve got your years ahead of you so you have time to experience stuff and grow together.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cI think Love Island is a great opportunity to meet someone, you\u2019re in with a load of different types, so you can get to grips with what you really like about people.\u201d<\/p>\n

What is Liam Llewellyn looking for in a partner?<\/h2>\n

Talking about his ideal type, he revealed: \u201cThey\u2019d probably say quite generous, quite caring, happy, chatty, chirpy, bubbly.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI wear my heart on my sleeve, I can\u2019t hide how I feel about anyone. I\u2019m probably quite emotional as well come to think about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talking about his flirting tactics, he said he\u2019d probably \u201cpay them a compliment!\u201d<\/p>\n

He explained: \u201cThe thing that girls quite like is that I\u2019m not just like, \u2018You\u2019re mint.\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018Your eyes are piercing, I\u2019m lost in your eyes.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cOr I\u2019ll say something like, \u2018You\u2019ve got nice feet\u2019 or something.\u201d<\/p>\n

Erm, well, good luck Liam \u2013 sounds like you\u2019ll need it\u2026<\/p>\n
