GET READY TO MEET YOUR 2023 ISLANDERS..
With just 6 days (!!) to go until we're all glued to our TV screens awaiting that iconic opening soundtrack, the first 2023 Love Island contestants have FINALLY been revealed and we couldn't be more excited.
Hosted by mega babe and queen of stylish 'fits herself - Maya Jama - our daily dose of drama, love triangles, beach hut gossip and those challenges are back with a bang, and have us eager with curiosity before Season 10 even hits our screens.
How will the new Islanders settle in? When will the bombshells arrive? Who will be the first couple to hit the hideaway?
Now, before we depart to the Mallorcan Villa for 8 weeks of sun-soaked Islander loving, we've got the 411 and ultimate LullaBellz Lowdown on each of the girls touching down in Spain with only one thing on their minds: the quest for cupid..
Molly Marsh
Age: 21
Location: Doncaster
Occupation: Theatre Performer & Content Creator
Why Love Island? 'I don't go out and party and I don't use dating apps, I'm actually quite old-fashioned, so there's no better way to meet someone than by going into a Villa in the sun with the potential 'one' in there.'
What gives her the ick? 'Guys shouting at the television when they’re watching sports or the news. You’re not going to get anywhere with me if you’re shouting at the television.'
Catherine Agbaje
Age: 22
Location: Dublin
Occupation: Commercial Real Estate Agent
How would her friends describe her? 'Someone who is fun and a loving character. They know I have so much love to give. I’m always smiling, I’m always happy, I’m always laughing. You’ll always see me with a smile on my face.'
Something people might not know about her? 'My teeth are real, people always think they are veneers! I had braces when I was younger...'
Ella Thomas
Age: 23
Location: Glasgow
Occupation: Model
Her biggest claim to fame? 'I’ve been in a Headie One and Burna Burna Boy music video and I was once an extra in World War Z. I was 12 years old when I filmed it and got to meet Brad Pitt which was cool.'
How would she describe herself? 'I'm the whole package, I know what I want in life and I’ve got a big heart. I’d let the boys know that I’m wifey material so don’t play with me!'
Ruchee Gurung
Age: 24
Location: Sutton
Occupation: Beautician
Why Love Island? 'I’m single and looking for love, and it’s the perfect opportunity for me to find someone... I’m a relationship kind of girl, but so far it’s not worked out. So I’m looking forward to finding the right person in the Villa.'
Ruchee's top icks: 'I get the ick if I see a guy wearing white jeans and red trainers. Another one is super skinny jeans when they look like leggings. Fashion is such an important thing for me. If I go on a date and the guy isn’t wearing something I like, I’m going home.'
Jess Harding
Age: 22
Location: London
Occupation: Aesthetics Practitioner
What should we know about Jess? 'Firstly I think I’ve got quite a big personality and I’ve got a heart of gold. I can stand up for myself if I need to. I’m honest, and I love, love. I’m also a really good girlfriend.'
Why is she single? 'Because every boy is giving me the ick at the moment. I feel like it’s fate because I’m saving myself for Mr Right in the Villa!'
Jess' top icks: 'When a guy stunts for money, that’s an ick. Showing off all their designer clothes because most of the time they’re probably fake anyway! Another one is when a boy runs for the train and the train goes without him. Lunch Boxes also - just go to Tesco and get a meal deal!
