Island of LOVE is back – and it’s the Villain thrillers we’re all about to end the series with.
ITV has revealed the ten stars who will be originals this year for only the second ever winter edition of the show.
From an island resident who was almost blinded after a terrible accident, to a former actress James Bond – this year the stories in the villa will not end.
There’s also a mix of social media influencers and celebrities, including Will Young (no, not that one) to people who’ve just stepped into the spotlight.
Here we reveal the girls and boys who will be the cause of all the drama on Island of love in this series.
We don’t have long to wait to see them either, as the stars in the making fly to of South Africa before the presentation on Monday.

Stunning Lana thinks we could be in for one of the fastest ‘I love you’s’ in Love Island history.

Student of biomedical sciences Tanya is an influential person, but insists that she is not seeking exposure – she is looking for love.
She said: “I’m looking for a boyfriend and I think being in the villa with a lot of different people will help me figure out who I might want.”
She added that there’s one way guys can give her an instant bang, saying, “Guys who don’t wear socks at home.
“Also, guys in the bath without bubbles, such a dick – no.” No socks in the bath is probably disaster territory.

Welsh brunette beauty Anna-May on the island of love – at the behest of his mother!
She said: “I want a boyfriend, I want to find someone who can make me laugh. I have been single for a long time, my mother annoys me, she says: “You need to find a boyfriend.”
“I’m just happy to try something new and I think going to Love Island is a good way to meet someone.”
However, she hopes her dates will go better than the ones she had, explaining: “While I was talking to him, he fell asleep! I had to knock on his glass to wake him up.’
Taniel Revan 26 years old

She doesn’t like handsome guys and calls herself “hard to find”, ie Taniel most likely, will become the golden island of love.
She said: “I’m hard to find, I’m confident, fun, charismatic, beautiful and happy. I’m also a very loyal person, what’s not to love about that?”
When asked about her ideal man, she replied: “ Channing Tatum – I don’t like pretty boys, they give me a bad name because they are always bad.
“Channing is good, but not too good. He is brave and knows how to dance. If a man knows how to dance, I immediately fall in love with him.”
Kai Fagan, 24 years old
A science and physical education teacher from Manchester

Kai insists he refrained from a relationship with Villa, saying: “I am single by choice. I’m looking for the right girl.

“Technically I got three different degrees and went to three different universities.” Okay, smart trunks.
Ron Hall, 25
Financial adviser from Essex
![Speaking about his vision, Ron said: "This is a good conversation starter"](https://i0.wp.com/www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/4fbd8805-a119-4dee-bb59-ad8b6404fd47.jpg?w=696&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1)
As The Sun learned at the weekend on Love Island there is the first visually impaired star in history.
Ron explained: “You would never know that I am blind in one eye when you meet me. It was the result of a football injury when I was eight.
“I scored with a header and got kicked in the face. I have two different colored eyes, one is blue and the other is green.
“It complements my character, there are so many people who live worse than me. And generally, losing something like that makes you realize that.”
He added: “It didn’t bother me in any way shape or form. I have to admit, it’s a good conversation starter.”
Will Young, 23
A farmer from Buckinghamshire
![Farmer Will Young is a social media star with an army of TikTok fans](https://i0.wp.com/www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/2115d8cd-b316-4ecc-b011-2177ef278249.jpg?w=696&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1)
No, it’s not that Will Young – a pop idol – but this resident of Love Island is a star in his own right TikTok .
He has more than a million followers for his farm antics, where he’s been seen as a miscreant — often shirtless.
He said: “Growing up on a farm, it was quite difficult to juggle relationships and work.
“Love Island will give me time away from the farm to just go out and find love. I think I’m at a point in my life where I’m mature enough to go and find a wife.”
Shak Muhammad, 24 years old
Airport security officer from London
![Shaq said,](https://i0.wp.com/www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/d0a5867c-d160-4f5f-a9d6-9dd4d02fe9e2.jpg?w=696&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1)
We’ll have to wait and see if he pats anyone but an airport security guard Shaka called “terminal conversations”.
And he’s not just looking for a summer romance – he’s looking for love.
He said: “I was unlucky in previous relationships. So I thought, why not be out in the sun and potentially meet the love of my life?’
“Hopefully, I’m dating my future wife. The person I hope to marry one day. I hope she’s in the villa.”
Haris Namani 21 years old

Harris — the last name, which today is revealed as the original of the villa.
He said: “I’m different, I’m a unique guy, I’m confident, not stiff, especially with girls.
