When asked what his claim to fame was, he replied: “My dad being an ex-professional footballer. I’ve met all kinds of famous people through him. When I was younger it was weird because he was just my dad, but we’d go to a game and fans were asking for photos. I’ve met David Beckham, he was really nice.”

The 3rd islander is Sophie Lee.
The 25-year-old hails from South Hampton and is a payroll specialist.
Sophie said the type of islander she’d like to couple up with is: “I’d like to meet someone who is tall, with a nice tan, nice eyes and a nice smile. He needs to have a good fashion sense and a really good, funny personality that I can get on with.”
When asked if her love life was a business would it be booming or would you be bankrupt, she replied: “Bankrupt, right now. But we’re going to make sales and get on that corporate ladder and be booming. Profits, profits, profits!”

When asked what the type of Islander he’d like to couple up with, Tommy replied: “A girl who is very ambitious, with a big personality, caring, but also someone that doesn’t take themselves too seriously.

Asked if he were the CEO of anything, the 22-year-old: “Taking hours to do my hair.”
Almia Gagio
The 5th islander is Almia Gagio.
The 23-year-old hails from Glasgow, and is a wealth management client services executive.
Speaking about what she looks for in a potential partner, she stated: “A tall man with a handsome face. You know when you just look at a guy and they have that Disney prince look to them? That’s it.”
When asked would Maya hire or fire her based on her flirting skills alone, she confessed: “I think she’d hire me because I’m a good flirt. I always ask guys on a night out to guess which country I’m originally from. If they get it right, they can get my number. But they never guess correctly so it works really well if you don’t want to give a guy your number. I’m originally from Guinea Bissau. If they’re close and I really fancy them, I’ll give them my number anyway.”
Ben Holbrough
The 6th islander is Ben Holbrough.
The 23-year-old hails from Gloucester, and works as a private hire taxi driver.
Speaking about his type on paper, Ben confessed he was looking for someone: “sexy, good looking, good chat, good vibes, nice teeth and good eye contact – they’re all the traits I look for. Oh, and also a cute smile, I just look at you and know I can be around you all day, every day. “
When asked if his love life was a business would it be booming or would he be bankrupt, he replied: “Bankrupt. I’d have been out of business a long time ago. That’s exactly why I’m here.”
Helena Ford
The 7th islander is Helena Ford.
The 29-year-old hails from London and works as a member of cabin crew.
Speaking about the type of islander she would like to couple up with, she said: “Somebody funny or Northern. I feel like Northern people have much more banter than Southerners. If you look through my previous dating history, you’ll see I clearly go for personality. You can pretty much laugh me into bed.”
When asked if Maya Jama would hire or fire her based on her flirting skills, she confessed: “I would say hire but then quickly fire soon after. It would only be a temporary contract.”
Kyle Ashman
The 8th islander is Kyle Ashman.

The 24-year-old, who lives in Brighton, but is originally from Dublin, is a musical theatre performer and energy broker.

I love a boy that’s a bit pasty, like Timothée Chalamet. I don’t mind scrawny, or a bit of a ‘dad bod’. I’m 5ft1 so any height really.”
When asked what her claim to fame is, the 24-year-old confessed: “Me and my friends made a Derry Girls TikTok for Halloween and it went a bit viral around Brighton. Sometimes I get stopped in the street about it. I’ve also done Panto.”
