These are the first 12 islanders confirmed for Winter Love Island.
ITV has revealed the cast for the upcoming series of Love Island, unveiling the five men and seven women who will begin the winter edition of the reality dating show.
There are no Irish islanders in the cast but that could well change as the series progresses. While Yewande Biala was an original cast member in the most recent series, Maura Higgins and Greg O’Shea went on to be two of the most popular islanders of the season and both joined later on.
Confirmed for Winter Love Island, which will take place in Cape Town, is the woman who is rumoured to have inspired Lewis Capaldi’s smash hit, Someone You Loved.
Paige Turley, a singer from Scotland, is understood to have dated Capaldi while the pair attended college together.
Also confirmed for the upcoming series is Sophie Piper, the lookalike sister of singer and television presenter Rochelle Humes.
