Charleen
Age: 27
Job: Content creator
From: Dublin
Who do you have your eye on? There’s four - I’m being greedy! Kavan, Aidan, Lorenzo and Sean I’d say. They have bits of my type in each of them but I think I’d need to see that and to actually chat to them properly. Kavan I would say out of all of them is my actual type on paper. I’m excited to get to know all of them.
Describe your bombshell strategy in a few words: Be myself. I’m naturally a flirty person, I’ve got a good heart and good energy. I think if you go in with too much of a strategy, it’s like you’re forcing it and not being yourself. I’m going to be myself and go with what my heart says and follow my gut
Mara
Age: 25
Job: Nursery Manager
From: Luton
Who do you have your eye on? Kavan, Simba and Samraj
Describe your bombshell strategy in a few words: I’m just going to be flirty and confident, and I am going to pull every single person for a chat. Even the ones that are locked off and saying “I love you”. Even Sean, I will be pulling him for a chat and just going to see how it goes. I love flirting, so it’s really easy for me to do it!
Martha
Age: 25
Job: Personal shopper
From: London
Who do you have your eye on? I need to meet someone in real life first to see what the vibes are. I kind of fancy them all! I think Lorenzo’s so handsome, and he’s tall. Fitzy’s handsome too, and it’s nice that he’s a primary school teacher. I quite like the brothers, but I can’t decide between Kavan and Aidan. I like Aidan’s tattoos, but Kavan seems more mature.
Describe your bombshell strategy in a few words: I never have a strategy. I always go straight for the goal but sometimes don’t get it. I think you do need to be a bit strategic, that’s my downfall. I’m not. I need to play the game better.
Olivia
Age: 23
Job: Marketing Coordinator
From: Doncaster
Who do you have your eye on? Kavan and Lorenzo are the lads I want to get to know most. I think they are both handsome and driven men. Just what I’m looking for!
How do you plan to handle the competition? I don’t like the word competition, I feel like if the boy doesn’t only want me then I’m taking myself out of the running and will find someone who is only for me
Nevaeh
Age: 22
Job: Student Nurse
From: Gloucester
Who do you have your eye on? Quite a few. Simba, he’s stunning, cheeky, naughty, like me so we would get on well. I also like Lorenzo - he's gorgeous, handsome and stunning too but he’s a bit nonchalant. I quite like a bit of a challenge. And then Samraj. He’s also quite cheeky at the moment, and he’s also beautiful. They’re my top three at the moment.
How do you feel about going into Casa Amor? I’m actually really excited because I think all the boys are going to be away from their original partners, which gives me a good sense that they’re not going to be thinking about them. They’re going to be thinking about me because I’m literally right there! So I’m actually buzzing. I like a little bit of a challenge.
Julia
Age: 26
Job: Insurance Broker
From: London
Who do you have your eye on? I like to keep my cards close to my chest. There’s three boys in particular plus one more that I’d like to chat to but I think that would be a lost cause.
How do you plan to handle the competition? I don't compete. If others want to compete with me, then good luck, bye.
Tommy
Age: 23
Job: Event Owner & Semi Professional Footballer
From: Essex
Who do you have your eye on? I’ve got my eye on Yasmin and Jasmine. They’re both very attractive women, but I feel like Yasmin and I will vibe very well and bounce off each other. Whereas Jasmine will put me in my place a little bit, but I think I like that.
How do you plan to handle the competition? It's straightforward for me. I’m paying no attention to competition, why would I? There's a lot of nice guys in there, and they seem lovely, but I back myself.
Gabriel
24-year-old model from London Gabriel appears in the first Casa Amor episode of Love Island, but has since been removed from the villa for undisclosed reasons.
Jordan
Age: 28
Job: Video Editor
From: Surrey
Can you describe your type on paper? My type on paper would be, well it changes a lot! I’d say right now, brunette, tanned, and personality-wise, someone that’s respectful and has a vibe about them. You know when someone just draws you in? That sort of thing.
Describe your bombshell strategy in a few words: Honestly, I don’t have a strategy. All I can do is be myself and put the work in, and that should do the trick. On the outside world, stepping on toes isn’t something that I would really be on board with. But when you’re put in this situation, you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do to get what you want.
Will
Age: 23
Job: Model
From: Barnsley
Who do you have your eye on? It’s been changing. Looks are one thing but how we get on and the vibes and chemistry, it can always change.
Describe your bombshell strategy in a few words: I think I’m just going to go in there and try and get into the groove straight away and be unapologetically me. At the same time, I’m aware that I’m coming in for Casa so I quite enjoy the thought of causing some chaos.
Carlos
Age: 22
Job: Tarmac Reinstatement
From: New Forest
Who do you have your eye on? I’ve got my eye on Priya, Ellie and Yasmin. I just feel like those girls haven’t been treated properly in the Villa. I love all three of their personalities and I think any of them could be the one.
How do you plan to handle the competition? I don’t really see it as competition. I’m confident in myself. If another guy is going for the same girl, I’ll just back myself. I believe that after one conversation, she’ll know where she stands and who she wants.
Aaron
Age: 26
Job: Basketball Player
From: East London
Who do you have your eye on? Right now, my eye is on Angelista but maybe she's into Simba. Mica for sure. And maybe Jasmine.
Describe your bombshell strategy in a few words: I’m going to go in there and chat to everyone but keep it to three girls, it’s going to be hard to keep it down to three!
