Casa Amor<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 which will see the Love Island 2021 contestants<\/a> split for a few days as the girls and boys are introduced to a new set of islanders \u2013 was confirmed on Friday, and now the newbies have been revealed.<\/p>\n From a 6ft 6in athlete (sorry Tyler and Liam!) to a couple of models, influencers and an accountant, meet all the bombshells, who could well be turning heads when Casa Amor kicks off tonight.<\/p>\n And it sounds like a lot of them aren\u2019t worried about stepping on any toes!<\/p>\n This could get messy\u2026<\/p>\n Age: <\/strong>25<\/p>\n Job: <\/strong>Performer<\/p>\n From:\u00a0<\/strong>Surrey<\/p>\n Instagram: <\/strong>@___amyday___<\/a><\/p>\n Asked why she decided to sign up for the ITV2 dating show, Amy said: \u201cI\u2019m clearly not very good at dating myself. I\u2019m looking forward to the experience and the potential of finding someone I might not have met.\u201d We wonder whose head she\u2019ll turn in the villa\u2026<\/p>\n Age:\u00a0<\/strong>23<\/p>\n Job: <\/strong>Brand owner\/ influencer<\/p>\n From:\u00a0<\/strong>London<\/p>\n Instagram: <\/strong>@clarissejuliette<\/a><\/p>\n Influencer Clarisse is \u201cbored\u201d of hugging her pillow at night, and wants to hug a Teddy instead.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m bored of hugging my pillow\u2026 it\u2019s time to find a boyfriend. I feel like guys are coming in here to actually find a girlfriend as well.\u201d<\/p>\n Asked who she has her eye on in the villa, she added: \u201cTeddy \u2013 he\u2019s tall, confident and smooth. I don\u2019t like horrible, cocky guys. If they are honest, that\u2019s what I\u2019d prefer.\u201d<\/p>\n Age:\u00a0<\/strong>22<\/p>\n Job: <\/strong>Trainee accountant<\/p>\n From:\u00a0<\/strong>South Shields<\/p>\n Instagram:<\/strong> @<\/a>lillie.haynes<\/a><\/p>\n Trainee accountant Lillie Haynes likes the look of two guys in the villa \u2013 Jake and Liam.<\/p>\n Ahead of her Casa Amor debut, she said: \u201cI\u2019ve definitely got my eye on Jake. He\u2019s 100% the type of boy I would go for at home. It\u2019s too good of a match not to just go for. Liam is definitely a dark horse for me, he\u2019s like James Bond when you look at him, absolutely gorgeous. So he could be a very close second.\u201d<\/p>\n Jake is now in a relationship with Liberty and Liam is coupled up with his \u201cMillie Moo,\u201d so how does she feel about stepping on the girls\u2019 toes?<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t mind stepping on toes. I\u2019m there for the same reason they are,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Fair play.<\/p>\n Age: <\/strong>24<\/p>\n Job:\u00a0<\/strong>Barber<\/p>\n From: <\/strong>Glasgow<\/p>\n Instagram: <\/strong>@dalehuncho<\/a><\/p>\n Self-taught barber Dale Mehmet isn\u2019t putting too much pressure on his Love Island experience, saying: \u201cI\u2019m the kind of person who is super chilled. If I meet someone then that would be amazing. But I take everything as it comes. I\u2019d like to meet someone I like and can move forward with, but I\u2019ll just take it as it comes.\u201d<\/p>\n He is looking forward to getting to know one girl in particular though \u2013 Faye Winter<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI like Faye\u2019s attitude and personality. I feel like we would get on,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Age: <\/strong>26<\/p>\n Job:\u00a0<\/strong>Racing driver and coach<\/p>\n From: <\/strong>East Sussex<\/p>\n Instagram: <\/strong>@<\/a>jackcbarlow<\/a><\/p>\n Having been single for two years, Jack is looking for \u201cthe one\u201d and he thinks Chloe Burrows<\/a> could be that special girl.<\/p>\n Speaking ahead of his villa debut, he said: \u201cI\u2019ve been single for about two years now. To be honest, I\u2019m ready to meet the one. Not necessarily get married at this age but just experience life with somebody and start a new adventure. We\u2019ve all been deprived of a bit of adventure over the last year.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cI\u2019m very much a connection type of person so I\u2019ll be able to tell more in person. From what I\u2019ve seen and going off their energy, Chloe has been top of my list. It\u2019s been nice to see her be herself and not care what anyone thinks. I think she\u2019ll be a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p> Age:\u00a0<\/strong>23<\/p>\n Job: <\/strong>Maintenance manager<\/p>\n From:\u00a0<\/strong>Clitheroe<\/p>\n Instagram: <\/strong>@samjacksonn98<\/a><\/p>\n Sam Jackson is ready to bring his \u201cchat\u201d to the villa and he\u2019s not afraid of ruffling feathers.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m happy to step on someone\u2019s toes to get what I want,\u201d he admitted.\u00a0 \u201cIf that\u2019s what I\u2019ve got to do, I\u2019ve got to do it. I am looking forward to meeting the boys as well, I\u2019m a proper lads\u2019 lad. I see myself getting on with the boys as well \u2013 it\u2019ll be good to meet some new people and get a few bromances going!\u201d<\/p>\n Age:<\/strong> 20<\/p>\n Job:<\/strong> Model\/influencer<\/p>\n From:<\/strong> Dublin<\/p>\n Instagram: <\/strong>@salma.naranx<\/a><\/p>\n Salma Naran says she\u2019s never been in love, so this could be the perfect opportunity to meet someone, without the distractions of social media.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat better place to have tunnel vision and really find your one? It\u2019s the perfect atmosphere, you don\u2019t have the outside world distractions. It looks like time moves fast in there in a good way \u2013 it\u2019s like, do you actually like me or not? In the real world it\u2019s so wishy-washy. With this, it\u2019s just, you need to know.\u201d<\/p>\n Age: <\/strong>22<\/p>\n Job:\u00a0<\/strong>Model<\/p>\n From:\u00a0<\/strong>Wakefield<\/p>\n Instagram: <\/strong>@mary_bedford<\/a><\/p>\n Mary Bedford says her type on paper is Liam Reardon<\/a> \u2013 who seems blissfully coupled up with Millie Court<\/a>. Fans aren\u2019t going to be happy if something comes between these two, but for sure they\u2019ll love the drama.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m just going to get in there, see how Liam actually is feeling about Millie really and then reassess. I\u2019m definitely not one to lay it on thick. I\u2019ll just do a bit of flirting and see how it goes. That\u2019s the whole aim isn\u2019t it? If I go in there and I really like Liam I\u2019ll have to step on Millie\u2019s toes.\u201d<\/p>\n Age:\u00a0<\/strong>28<\/p>\n Job:\u00a0<\/strong>International DJ<\/p>\n From:\u00a0<\/strong>Dublin<\/p>\n Instagram:\u00a0<\/strong>@djkailatroy<\/a><\/p>\n Kaila Troy is definitely looking for love in the villa as she\u2019s given up on dating in the real world.<\/p>\n \u201cReal life dating has not been doing me any favours at all. I\u2019ve had it. I\u2019m really looking forward to meeting everybody and finding somebody. I\u2019m really intrigued and excited about who I\u2019ll meet in there.\u201d<\/p>\n Age:<\/strong> 24<\/p>\n Job:<\/strong> Car salesman<\/p>\n From:<\/strong> Glasgow<\/p>\n Instagram:\u00a0<\/strong>@harryyoung__<\/a><\/p>\n Harry Young signed up to the show through dating app Tinder.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been single for a year and a half and previously went through heartbreak. I\u2019ve had a bit of fun as well. Obviously, COVID then hit so I haven\u2019t had the chance to date. It was through Tinder that I signed up. Over the past year it was easier to start off an initial conversation online because pubs and clubs were closed.\u201d<\/p>\n Age:<\/strong> 24<\/p>\n Job:<\/strong> American football player<\/p>\n From:<\/strong> Luton (originally from Belgium)<\/p>\n Instagram:<\/strong> @medhymalanda<\/a><\/p>\n Medhy Malanda \u2013 who can speak four languages (French, Dutch, English and Lingala) \u2013 has his eyes on Kaz Kamwi<\/a>, who seems to have found her match with Tyler Cruickshank<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cKaz\u2019s personality is fiery, she\u2019s got energy, she\u2019s funny and she\u2019s got a beautiful smile and she\u2019s a nice girl in general. And Millie seems like a nice girl and she\u2019s obviously good looking as well. I am a happy person, I\u2019m a lot like Kaz.\u201d<\/p>\n Age:<\/strong> 26<\/p>\n Job:<\/strong> Strategic marketing consultant<\/p>\n From<\/strong>: Belfast<\/p>\n Instagram:<\/strong> @mmacnabb<\/a><\/p>\n Matthew MacNabb is 6ft 6 \u2013 which is roughly around the same height as Liam and Tyler. Surely that gifts this series of Love Island the unusual accolade of \u201ctallest ever contestants\u201d? He also knows what he wants and is ready to mingle.<\/p>\n \u201cI won\u2019t have much of a problem with stepping on toes. The guys haven\u2019t known the girls that long so it\u2019s not really a huge issue. I\u2019m sure if they have a problem they\u2019ll approach me.\u201d<\/p>\n New episodes of Love Island are on ITV2 every night at 9pm, except Saturdays which is a catch-up.<\/strong>\u00a0Episodes are available to stream on the ITV Hub.
