Love Island Casa Amor cast 2022: Meet the new contestants set to cause a stir for season 8

Of course, waiting for them there will be six brand new boys, and ITV has now revealed the identity of those arrivals – including the son of former BoyZone member Ronan Keating.

And as usual, it's not just those heading to Casa Amor who risk having their heads turned, with six new bombshells set to arrive in the main villa as well, teased towards the end of Friday (1st July) night's episode.

Here's everything you need to know about the Casa Amor contestants...

Job: Accounts Manager

From: Bedford

Asked why he decided to sign up for the ITV2 dating show, Deji said: "The reason why is that my sex life is amazing but my love life is awful. I am the master of failed talking stages. My love life isn't going the right way, so one night I decided to apply for Love Island and now I'm here!"

Summer Botwe

Age: 22

Job: Events Decor Business Co-owner

Summer describes herself as "just genuinely good vibes" and reckons that she'll "definitely uplift everyone’s spirits."

Asked if she had her eye on any of the boys in particular, she responded: "Dami is someone that I definitely feel like I have my eye on and definitely want to pursue the most out of all the boys. His dress sense is really good, he’s funny, he’s just like an all-rounder completely."

Josh Samuel Le Grove

Age: 22

Job: Model

From: Essex

Josh said he decided to join the series because he's "always been single" and is looking for "someone who can stick up for themselves and hold their own".

As for who she's got her eye on, there's one man in particular she'd like to get to know. "Jacques for personality," she said. "Humour's the biggest thing for me in a partner. I never go for looks and I don't have a type at all. It's definitely who makes me laugh."

Job: Social Media Marketing

From: Dublin

Instagram: @jackkeating11

On joining the series, Jack said: "I've been single for a long time, probably 4 or 5 years now, and I've really been missing that spark that I haven't been getting on the dating scene. I've been dating for a long time and I just thought why not? Hopefully I'll get a connection with somebody and see what happens."

Jack is the son of singer Ronan Keating – and he says his Dad is "buzzing" for him. "Me and my dad are very close, we’re best mates," he said.

Before heading into the villa, she picked out Davide as someone she'd like to get to know. "I’m actually Italian, too," she said. "So I really like Davide, he reminds me of a lot of my family and he's gorgeous. I've never actually seen someone so good-looking in my whole life!"

George Tasker

Job: Labourer

From: Cotswolds

Speaking ahead of joining the show, George said: "I definitely fall in love quickly". He also revealed that he'd learned a lot from his last relationship.

"I've been single now for three years," he said. "I had a relationship with a girl from Australia - my only girlfriend. It was a long distance relationship, so 10,000 miles apart for almost three years. I'm a lot more mature now and I know what I want in a relationship."

Samuel has said that he's been in love before – but although he took a long time to heal from that, he's ready to consider another serious relationship.

He says the he most romantic thing he's ever done is asking a girl out with candles. "I laid out across the garden ‘Will you be my girlfriend?' in candles," he said. "I got her to look out the window and see it on the grass. It took an hour to set up! She said yes - of course!"
