The infamous twist \u2013 which sees the main contestants split for a few days as they\u2019re introduced to six new girls and boys \u2013 kicked off on Monday, 26th July, and it\u2019s already causing a lot of drama among the original cast.<\/p>\n
In a Love Island first one of the Casa Amor contestants was recruited from Tinder<\/a>.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s contestants were picked after over 1,000 applicants entered for Love Island<\/a> and for the next few weeks they\u2019ll be making themselves at home in the Love Island villa<\/a> before one of the Love Island couples<\/a> is crowned this year\u2019s winners.<\/p>\n But who will it be?<\/p>\n As the series continues, read on for all you need to know about the Love Island cast, including what they do for a living, what their Instagram pages are and who left Love Island last night<\/a>.<\/p>\n Age<\/strong>: 26<\/p>\n Job<\/strong>: Estate agent<\/p>\n From<\/strong>: Croydon<\/p>\n Instagram<\/strong>: @tylercruickshank_<\/a><\/p>\n Coupled up with:<\/strong> Kaz Kamwi<\/p>\n Tyler Cruickshank<\/a> is looking for that special someone, as he\u2019s been single three years now.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m single and still looking for someone. I\u2019ve been single for about three years. I kind of miss having someone there,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a good opportunity to find someone.\u201d<\/p>\n Age<\/strong>: 27<\/p>\n Job<\/strong>: Tattoo artist<\/p>\n From<\/strong>: Beaconsfield (but now lives in Bournemouth)<\/p>\n Instagram<\/strong>: @abigaillouiserawlings<\/a> and @abigaillouisetattoo<\/a><\/p>\n Coupled up with: <\/strong>Toby Aromolaran<\/p>\n Asked why she wants to join the ITV2 dating show, Abigail Rawlings<\/a> said: \u201cI\u2019m here for a relationship. I\u2019m not scared of commitment at all. I seem to enjoy life more when I\u2019m with someone, someone to do stuff with. I\u2019m quite an active person and I like going away. When you have someone, it\u2019s an excuse to go away!\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Age:<\/strong> 26<\/p>\n Job:<\/strong> Senior Financial Consultant<\/p>\n From:<\/strong> Manchester<\/p>\n Instagram:<\/strong> @teddy_soares<\/a><\/p>\n Coupled up with:\u00a0<\/strong>Faye Winter<\/p>\n Teddy Soares<\/a> believes in the law of attraction, so he\u2019s stepping into the villa to manifest some love \u2013 good luck!<\/p>\n Speaking in an interview ahead of his debut, he said: \u201cI think I\u2019m ready for love now. Law of attraction is probably what I believe in, so being in the villa is part of that thought process. I\u2019m not getting any younger. I\u2019ve always been the type of guy to be in long relationships. Never broken three years though. If I do find someone in the villa, I\u2019m going to take it seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n Age:\u00a0<\/strong>24<\/p>\n Job: <\/strong>Fashion buyer\u2019s administrator<\/p>\n From: <\/strong>Essex<\/p>\n Instagram: <\/strong>@milliegracecourt<\/a><\/p>\n Coupled up with:<\/strong> Liam Reardon<\/p>\n After being single for a year now, Millie Court<\/a> is looking for \u201cThe One\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been single for over a year now. I\u2019m ready to find \u2018The One\u2019. I\u2019m a very spontaneous and adventurous person. I\u2019m always up for doing something new and challenging myself. I\u2019ve never done anything like this before. I just want to throw myself into it and have fun with it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Looks wise, Millie likes \u201ctall, dark, and handsome\u201d and there\u2019s two tall, dark and handsome guys in the villa who she likes the look of in the villa \u2013 Toby and Liam.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Read more:<\/strong> who left Love Island last night<\/a>?<\/p>\n Age:<\/strong> 21<\/p>\n Job:<\/strong> Bricklayer<\/p>\n From:<\/strong> Wales<\/p>\n Instagram: <\/strong>@liamreardon1<\/a><\/p>\n Coupled up with:\u00a0<\/strong>Millie Court<\/p>\n New boy Liam Reardon<\/a> joined the show for Episode Four, as it\u2019s been a while since he last had a girlfriend and he\u2019s struggling to find the one. In terms of who he has his eye on, Reardon said in his interview ahead of the show: \u201cI think Kaz is really good looking and has a great personality. I\u2019m looking forward to getting to know her. And Chloe \u2013 I like her confidence and I\u2019m intrigued to see what she\u2019s about.\u201d<\/p>\n And it sounds like he\u2019s not afraid to step on any toes.<\/p>\n \u201cI am competitive to a certain extent. I\u2019m not over the top. It\u2019s always nice being a winner. If I\u2019m in competition for a female, I want to try my best, but I won\u2019t go too far out of my way. If she liked you that much she wouldn\u2019t have to make a choice,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Read more: <\/strong>Casa Amor confirmed: Everything you need to know about the twist<\/a><\/p>\n Age:<\/strong> 21<\/p>\n Job:<\/strong> Waitress and Marketing Student<\/p>\n From<\/strong>: Birmingham<\/p>\n Instagram:<\/strong> @libertypoolex<\/a><\/p>\n Coupled up with:\u00a0<\/strong>Jake Cornish<\/p>\n Like everyone else entering the villa, Liberty Poole<\/a> will be on the lookout for love as she says she has never had a \u201cnice and happy\u201d relationship and the struggles of lockdown haven\u2019t helped her find one. But she\u2019s also looking for some sisterly friendship and is a self-proclaimed \u201csocial butterfly\u201d.<\/p>\n Liberty has worked for Nando\u2019s and apparently that has seen her garner the attention of many a patron, with one even going as far as to propose to her \u2013 and to think, we just go there for their spicy chicken!<\/p>\n As for the sort of partner she\u2019s looking for, Liberty said: \u201cI like a tall, alpha male, confident, a cheeky chappy sort of guy. But obviously, that\u2019s always usually combined with player types, which is where I go wrong. So I am trying to change my ways and go for more of a nicer guy that is going to treat me right.\u201d<\/p>\n Age:<\/strong> 24<\/p>\n Job:<\/strong> PE Teacher<\/p>\n From<\/strong>: Hampshire<\/p>\n Instagram:<\/strong> @hugo_hammond<\/a><\/p>\n Coupled up with:<\/strong> Chloe Burrows<\/p>\n While romance will likely be on the cards, it seems that, after a bleak 2020, Hugo Hammond<\/a> is entering the villa to try to have some fun and get back into the dating scene after a spell of not being able to go on any dates at all.<\/p>\n And as far as his job goes, it doesn\u2019t sound like he wants to give that up any time soon. \u201cI love all my sports. It\u2019s great to be able to pass on that enthusiasm to be physically active to the younger generation and hopefully, they feel the same about me teaching them.\u201d His students are sure to have something to say about him joining Love Island.<\/p>\n Hugo, who is Love Island\u2019s first ever disabled contestant<\/a>, was born with Congenital Talipes Equino-Varus, which is where a baby has their feet pointed down and inwards at birth.<\/p>\n But that didn\u2019t stop him from following his cricket dream. He played for England PD (Physical Disability) and has travelled the world while doing it \u2013 even playing in Dubai!<\/p>\n Age:<\/strong> 24<\/p>\n Job:<\/strong> Water Engineer<\/p>\n From<\/strong>: Weston-super-Mare<\/p>\n Instagram:<\/strong> @jakecornish7<\/a><\/p>\n Coupled up with:<\/strong> Liberty Poole<\/p>\n Jake came out of a seven-year relationship just before lockdown \u2013 hardly the best situation to be in when you are looking to get back on the dating horse \u2013 and it is little wonder he found the prospect of Love Island to be an enticing one.<\/p>\n Blondes are normally Jake Cornish<\/a>\u2018s type but he also has some trust issues, saying: \u201cThe main thing is having respect and having good fun, and someone who will be loyal to you. I\u2019ve had messages from girls that have got boyfriends and husbands. This is why I don\u2019t trust anyone\u201d.<\/p>\n As for his ideal partner? That would be TOWIE\u2019s Billie Faiers, who he says is his \u201cdream woman\u201d. We\u2019re sure Billie\u2019s husband, Greg Shepherd, would have something to say about that!<\/p>\n Age:<\/strong> 26<\/p>\n Job: <\/strong>Fashion Blogger<\/p>\n From<\/strong>: Essex<\/p>\n Instagram:<\/strong> @kazkamwi<\/a><\/p>\n Coupled up with:<\/strong> Tyler Cruickshank<\/p>\n \u201cI like meeting new people, I\u2019m ready to be in a relationship. Why not be in a place where people are looking for the same things as me?\u201d That\u2019s Kaz Kamwi<\/a>\u2018s reasoning for signing up to Love Island 2021 and is as good a one as any \u2013 all the contestants are in the same boat!<\/p>\n Kaz describes herself as fun, dramatic, spontaneous and friendly \u2013 which is quite the mix \u2013 and her worst date ever was when a guy asked her out and was \u201cmystery dining\u201d at the restaurant. \u201cI will never get over the fact that he made me pay, while he got to eat for free and he made me sit there while he did his review.\u201d<\/p> Age:<\/strong> 25<\/p>\n Job: <\/strong>Financial Services Marketing Executive<\/p>\n From<\/strong>: Bicester<\/p>\n Instagram:<\/strong> @chloe__burrows<\/a><\/p>\n Coupled up with:\u00a0<\/strong>Hugo Hammond<\/p>\n Chloe is looking for love in the villa and has only ever been in situationship\u2019s up to now \u2013 a romantic relationship that\u2019s undefined or uncommitted if you were wondering!<\/p>\n She describes herself as outgoing and bubbly and always the funny one in the room \u2013 we do love a bit of comedy in the Love Island villa, so here is hoping she delivers on that front.<\/p>\n As for the type of man she is looking to meet, Chloe Burrows<\/a> says: \u201cI like a good build. I go to the gym. I want someone who is funny \u2013 really funny and caring and will do nice little things for you. And then obviously someone who you can depend on to not ditch you. Because I am quite a big character and quite loud, they would have to be as loud, if not more. I could never be with someone who is quiet.\u201d<\/p>\n Age:<\/strong> 22<\/p>\n Job: <\/strong>Semi-pro footballer<\/p>\n From<\/strong>: Essex<\/p>\n Instagram:<\/strong> @tobyaromolaran<\/a><\/p>\n Coupled up with:\u00a0<\/strong>Abigail Rawlings<\/p>\n If Toby Aromolaran<\/a> finds love in the villa then it will be a first for him as he has never been in a relationship \u2013 what a way to get into your first one, Toby! \u201c\u2018If Love Island can\u2019t find me a relationship then no one can,\u201d he says of his chances.<\/p>\n He\u2019s always been a football fan and has been combining his love for the beautiful game with social media by playing for Hashtag United. \u201cThey\u2019re very social media focused. Everything is on YouTube, Instagram and Twitter. Playing with them has really made me fall in love with the game again.\u201d<\/p>\n As for his qualities, Tony thinks he is responsible, fun, and says he always tries to find the bright spots in any situation. Let\u2019s see how well those traits will serve him on the show!<\/p>\n Age:<\/strong> 26<\/p>\n Job: <\/strong>Lettings manager<\/p>\n From<\/strong>: Devon<\/p>\n Instagram:<\/strong> @faye__winter<\/a><\/p>\n Coupled up with:<\/strong> Teddy Soares<\/p>\n If you are wondering why Faye Winter<\/a> has signed up to be part of Love Island this year, well, we have the boredom that many of us felt in 2020 to thank, with the lettings manager explaining: \u201cIn the last year we haven\u2019t been able to experience anything. I\u2019m open to anything. The opportunity came up so why wouldn\u2019t I? I\u2019d love to meet somebody, what better way to meet somebody than in the sun? Amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n Being a reality star is a world away from her job as a lettings manager, although don\u2019t think that she doesn\u2019t bring the glamour to her role .\u201dI\u2019m definitely there in the mini dresses, boobs out, bum out, turning up and you can see the wives say to their husband, \u2018You\u2019re staying outside.\u2019 It\u2019s so fun.\u201d<\/p>\n And if she does find love in the villa, she could be part of one of the few Love Island couples who have stayed together<\/a> as she is looking to start a family in the next few years and settle down. But will she find someone on the show to fill that role?<\/p>\n Age:<\/strong> 24<\/p>\n Job:<\/strong> Luxury events host<\/p>\n From<\/strong>: London<\/p>\n Instagram:<\/strong> @aaronfranciis<\/a><\/p>\nTyler Cruickshank<\/h2>\n
