Who is Catherine Agbaje? Meet Love Island 2023 contestant and real estate agent
Irish estate agent Catherine is looking for love.
Season 10 of Love Island is in full swing, with the contestants already having gone through the first recoupling of the series.
While she was initially paired with Midlands-based business owner André Furtado, contestant Catherine Agbaje felt she had more of a spark with bombshell Zachariah Noble - and chose the South London personal trainer to be in a pairing with on last Friday’s show.
But there has already been trouble at mill for the couple, after Zach kissed fellow singleton Molly Marsh during a challenge on Sunday 11th June - leading Catherine to tell her partner that she felt “disrespected” by him.
So while we wait to see if the pair can resolve their differences, here’s everything you need to know about real estate agent Catherine Agbaje.

Who is Catherine Agbaje?
Hailing from Dublin, Ireland, Catherine is a commercial real estate agent who describes herself as "fun", "flirty" and "never boring", promising: "I can chat your ears off!" She reckons that those closest to her would describe her as "a loving character".
"I’m always smiling, I’m always happy, I’m always laughing," she adds. "You’ll always see me with a smile on my face." Sounds like she will be able to lift the mood if things get a bit argumentative in the villa.
Anything else we should know about her? "My teeth are real, people always think they are veneers!" she says. She also has two degrees, with an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Sociology and a master's in Real Estate.
Why did Catherine Agbaje want to take part in Love Island?
Like her fellow contestants, Catherine is looking for her perfect match, and while she's yet to reveal what her usual type on paper is, she has promised that she has "so much love to give". Here's hoping that she finds the right person.
How old is Catherine Agbaje?
Catherine is 22 years old, so it wasn't long ago that she was studying for the aforementioned degrees.
Is Catherine Agbaje on Instagram?
Yes, you can follow Catherine over on Instagram at @catherine_agbaje, where she has previously shared plenty of envy-inducing holiday photos from trips to destinations like Miami, Dubai and Mykonos.
She'll take a pause on posting while in the Love Island villa, though, as the show's current duty of care protocols stipulate that contestants put their accounts on hold during their time on the dating show (rather than handing over control of their social media profiles to friends or family, as was commonplace before this rule was introduced at the start of 2023).
Love Island airs on ITV2 at 9pm. You can watch all previous seasons of Love Island on BritBox – you can sign up for a 7-day free trial.
