Joining Scottish lass Mal Nicol is Montel McKenzie \u2013 a semi-professional footballer from East London. Sound familiar?<\/span><\/p>\n And self-confessed ladies man Montel already has his eye on a few of the stunning girls in the villa \u2013 which may annoy the boys, including Sammy Root<\/a> and Zachariah Noble<\/a>!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Here\u2019s everything we know about Montel so far\u2026\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n Age:\u00a0<\/strong>25 Move over, Tyrique Hyde<\/a> \u2013 East Londoner Montel McKenzie is the newest semi-professional footballer to be entering the villa!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n But quashing what could be a potential rivalry, Montel says that he thinks the pair will get on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cMe and Tyrique are from similar places, so I think we might behave similarly,\u201d he explains. \u201cI like his attitude and I would probably say the same things as him in certain situations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n As for the rest of the boys, Montel, who also works as an account manager, reveals: \u201cI will definitely get on with the guys in there, but, at the same time, I need to talk to everyone. I\u2019ll just be the guy that I am \u2013 cool and calm.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n And the 25-year-old reckons one person is going about his time in the villa the wrong way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cMitch [Taylor]<\/a> has got it completely wrong. It\u2019s his sneakiness for me \u2013 he makes little comments about people and that\u2019s not how I would go about things,\u201d admits Montel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Just like fellow bombshell Mal, Montel is 25-years-old.<\/p>\n Yes \u2013 you can find Montel\u2019s profile at the handle, <\/span>@montelmckenzie<\/a><\/p>\n Montel may have an eye for the ladies, but he says he\u2019s been too \u201cbusy with work and football\u201d to concentrate on finding The One \u2013 which is why Love Island is the perfect place for him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI just haven\u2019t found someone I want to date,\u201d he adds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n His technique to woo the girls may need some work though, as Montel admits: \u201cI am used to people coming up to me \u2013 I\u2019m lucky I guess! I don\u2019t usually approach girls and win them over.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n And as for the one warning he was given by his loved ones before coming on the show\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m definitely not going to have sex on TV,\u201d Montel laughs. \u201cWell\u2026 I said I would try my best!\u201d<\/span><\/p> Montel already has his eye on some of the girls in the villa \u2013 and despite potentially seeing a friendship with Tyrique, that won\u2019t stop him pursuing a romance with his current partner, Ella Thomas<\/a>!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cMy top three right now would be Catherine [Agbaje]<\/a>, Leah [Taylor]<\/a> and Ella,\u201d Montel reveals. \u201cElla for me is generally my type, Catherine carries herself well and seems like a classy girl. Leah seems very chilled, and that\u2019s the kind of person I am.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n He continues: \u201cI\u2019m not really worried about that if I really want the girl. I\u2019m not going to cause a problem over someone I am not interested in. I\u2019ll definitely speak to Ella despite her being coupled up with Tyrique.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWatch your girls, because the guy that gets all of the girls is coming into the Love Island Villa!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Love Island airs on ITV2 at 9pm.
