Ahead of her arrival on the show, she admitted she is looking for some fun in Casa Amor, revealing she's a "very flirtatious, bantery person".
"I've been told I'm a bit of a tease," she said. "If there's a guy I really have my heart set on, I'm very competitive."
Samie Elishi
Age: 22
Job: Senior estate agent coordinator
From: London
Instagram: @samieelishi
Samie entered the villa as one of the later bombshells and revealed ahead of time that she wanted to take part in the series because "all my single friends are starting to settle down".
She added: "Whenever I suggest a girls’ trip, everyone’s staying in with their boyfriends. I want someone to do that with, too!"
Meanwhile, speaking about what she'll bring to the villa, she singled out honesty as her best quality.
"I’m a really honest person and I have no filter," she explained. "I won’t take rubbish from anyone, especially when it comes to guys!"
Tom Clare
Age: 23
From: Barnsley
Job: Semi-professional footballer
Instagram: @tomclare__
Football player Tom Clare will be one of the first potential bombshells to enter the Love Island villa.
Tom revealed the reason for his Love Island entrance: "I want to meet someone. It’s good going out and having a laugh but I miss sharing stuff. Life’s too short. These opportunities don’t come around often."
He added: "I’m a good laugh, a good vibe. I’m not snakey, I don’t like that kind of stuff. If I’ve got an issue with someone I’ll speak to them."
When explaining why he is single, Tom commented: "Since my ex-girlfriend, no-one’s really come to me and I’ve thought, ‘Wow’. Until I have that, I’m not really going to settle for less. Not in a bad way, but the next person I get with, I want to marry."
Will viewers pick Tom to be the first bombshell to enter the villa?
Tanya Manhenga
Age: 22
From: Liverpool
Job: Biomedical science student and influencer
Instagram: @talkswithtt_
Biomedical student Tanya Manhenga was rumoured to be joining Winter Love Island 2023 prior to when her casting was confirmed.
Speaking about why she is joining Love Island, Tanya revealed: "I’m looking for a boyfriend and I think being in a villa with lots of different people will help me work out who it is I may want."
However, one thing to give her the ick is feet, with "guys that don’t wear socks in the house" proving problematic.
Tanya also has vitiligo "which is a skin pigmentation – you may not even notice it. It's on my lip and I have a stripe on my hair."
When asked why she is single, Tanya explained: "It might be trust issues. I don’t trust guys. Some want to get serious really quickly, but I don't trust them enough, it’s all about trust."
Kai Fagan
Age: 24
From: Manchester
Job: Science and PE teacher
Instagram: @kaifagan_
Science and PE teacher Kai Fagan has described himself as "chilled, caring, very impulsive and a good guy".
On why he is single, Kai said: "I’m single by choice. I’m looking for the right girl. I feel like I have quite high expectations. I don’t feel I should commit to someone unless I’m absolutely buzzing over them, because it’s not fair on them."
Kai also revealed: "I’m a Jamaican citizen. Because of that I played rugby 7s for Jamaica. I play semi-professional rugby now for Burnage RFC. I’ve technically got three different degrees and went to three different unis. "
When asked why he's single, Kai said: "I’m single by choice. I’m looking for the right girl. I feel like I have quite high expectations. I don’t feel I should commit to someone unless I’m absolutely buzzing over them, because it’s not fair on them."
Lana Jenkins
Age: 25
From: Luton
Job: Makeup artist
Instagram: @lanajenkinss
Make-up guru Lana Jenkins is ready to add some glamour to the villa and has worked in TV before.
"In my work as a make-up artist I’ve worked with lots of celebrities," revealed Lana. "Also, when I was 6 years old, I used to live in Spain and I was in an episode of Benidorm as an extra."
On her relationship with romance, Lana said: "I fall in love quickly. I tend to know quite soon if I could fall in love with that person and then, as long as everything is going well, I’ll probably tell them I love them in about a week."
Explaining why she is single, Lana said: "Because I’ve been through relationships that have made me want to find someone perfect, I’ve been with people that haven’t been meant for me. Since then I’ve been really picky about who I go for and who I let into my life."
Ron Hall
Age: 25
From: Essex
Job: Financial advisor
Instagram: @ronhall__
Essex boy Ron Hall makes history as the first partially-sighted contestant in Love Island history.
"On meeting me, you’d never know I am blind in one eye," said Ron. "It was the result of a football injury when I was 8; I went in for a header and got kicked in the face. I’ve got two different coloured eyes, one blue and one green.
"It’s added to my character, there are so many people that are worse off than me. And if anything, losing something like that makes you realise that. It’s not hindered me in any shape or form. It’s a good conversation starter, I must admit."
He described himself as "the most genuine person you’ll meet" and said: "I’m genuine, caring and I’m a nice person - which you don’t find these days."
Ron hopes to bring "fun and charisma" to the villa, but says he is single because he is "career focussed" and "wanted to enjoy myself and do all the things I wanted to do."
He added: "I now feel that I’m emotionally ready to say, ‘I’m now ready to find someone.’"
Shaq Muhammad
Age: 24
From: London
Job: Airport security officer
Instagram: n/a
Dear John movie fan Shaq Muhammad is ready for love after not having much luck in the past.
"I haven’t had the best luck with previous relationships," revealed Shaq. "So I thought, why not be in the sun and potentially meet the love of my life? Hopefully, I do come out with my future wife. The person I hope to marry one day. Hopefully, she’s in the villa."
However, Shaq is quick to fall in love, noting: "I’m the type of person that wears my heart on my sleeve. If I find someone I click with, I fall very hard, very fast. Sometimes that can be a bad thing. I’m a very emotional person. It can be a blessing and a curse."
Reflecting on his relationship history, Shaq noted: "I have dated, but no-one’s just clicked fully on all levels with me. I’m not one to rush into a relationship if I don’t feel like it’s right for me. I’m not saying you have to tick every single box, we just have to vibe and be on the same level.
"So, until I meet someone like that, I’m going to stay single."

From: Buckinghamshire
Job: Farmer
Instagram: @farmer_will_
From the farm to the villa, Will Young is hoping to make love evergreen with this season of Love Island.
Speaking on why he is going on Love Island, farmer Will said: "Having grown up on a farm, it’s been quite difficult juggling relationships and work. Love Island will give me time away from the farm to solely go out and find love. I think I’m at the time of my life where I’m mature enough to go and find a wife."
Describing a detail about himself, noting: "Every night I light a candle and meditate for 20-25 minutes. A girl I was seeing told me to meditate, I tried it and loved it. I stopped seeing her and carried on meditating!
"It’s a nice way to self-reflect, taking a minute on my day/week. It’s really nice and sets me up for a nice sleep."
Expect one chill guy!
However, he thinks he is responsible for his continued single-status, noting: "Honestly? Probably commitment issues. I self-sabotage myself sometimes when I’ve got a good thing going. I do like my own space and my own time; I haven’t got to stress about anything and just worry about myself."

The 26-year-old admitted she hasn't had any relationship since leaving the Aus villa, and is keen to start settling down.
Talking about why she's single, Jessie said: "I probably do need to take a little responsibility - I do travel and move around a lot. When it comes to a relationship, I think I get scared. If there’s someone I genuinely like, for some reason I back away or I start telling myself they’re too good for me. I always end up doing the opposite of what I should be doing, so in the Villa I’ll have to face those emotions."

In terms of how his family and friends would describe him, he added: "Very cheeky, naughty, outgoing, ambitious. They’d say I’m very driven at everything I do, I always aim to be the best and come first at pretty much everything. They’d also say I’ve got a big heart, I’m very lovable."

Ellie claims that she would bring "drama, fun and a bit of unpredictability" to the series.

I’m excited all the time really. I do say the wrong things as I have no filter. If I think it, I’ll say it straight away. Sometimes it’s great, sometimes it’s not. Sometimes it stirs things up a bit which I find funny."

Speaking about his past mistakes, Aaron said: "When I was in the Love Island Australia Villa, I didn’t open myself up to other opportunities that I could’ve possibly had. This time round I want to be testing the waters by being open-minded and giving everyone a chance. In terms of my experience in the previous Villa, I went in there wanting to be myself and I can truly say I felt comfortable in myself in every way so I’d never change it."

Age: 20
From: Swansea
Job: Payroll administrator
Instagram: @annamayrobey

"I want a boyfriend, I want to find someone who makes me laugh," she revealed ahead of her villa debut. "I’ve been single for quite a while. My mother is bugging me, she's like, ‘You need to find a boyfriend.’ I’m just excited to try something new and I think going on Love Island is a good way to meet someone."
Anna-May describes herself as "energetic", adding: "I’m always running around singing and screaming. My parents are always like, ‘Shut up!’
"I work from home all day so I don’t really speak to people in person for two or three days a week, so when my father comes home, he’ll want to sit down and chill out, and I’m there chewing his ear off! I would definitely say I am a chatterbox."
On her single status, Anna-May noted: "I’m single because I’m fussy and I get the ick easily. I also go for the same type of guy so I need to broaden my horizons, so I hope to do that in the Villa."

Speaking about his worst date, David said: "I met someone through an app, she was messaging me all the time. When I met her, she said, ‘I’ve been down your social media followers, you follow a lot of girls. Do you know all of these girls? If I was in a relationship with someone, I wouldn’t want them following that many girls.’ I said to her, ‘This is a bit too much for me.’”
