Why did Reece decide to take part in Love Island?
Reece is ready to find love after years of being a bachelor. He'll be bringing his "good looks and good chat to match" to the villa, and can be quite competitive.
“I am naturally a competitive person, I used to be a professional footballer so I am used to having lots of competition," he revealed before entering the villa.
“I feel like I am quite confident so I wouldn’t care about stepping on anyone's toes that doesn’t really bother me. I am going in there to find love so that’s all a part of it really.”
He's never been in a relationship, but he thinks he'll make a great boyfriend, saying: "I’ve never had a girlfriend to be honest but I know how to make a girl feel special with little or big gestures.”
Asked why he's still single, he added: "I just haven’t found the right one. I’ve got very high standards. I am the fussiest person ever when it comes to girls."
