An Irish man will be entering the Love Island Australia villa when the show kicks off on Monday evening.
Laois-born Eoghan Murphy moved to Australia in 2006, and is currently working in real estate on the Gold Coast.
In a trailer for the show, the 23-year-old said:
“My values are a lot more old school than what are floating around today. I was raised by a single mum. I was in a relationship from when I was 14 up until last year.
“I treat women the right way.”

He told Australia’s WHO magazine that he wants “someone I can spend the rest of my life with,” and that he thinks he is a “respectful man with a huge heart.”
He said:
“I was in a relationship pretty much my entire life. When it happens you always think the grass is greener.
“I enjoy being in a relationship. I want a companion. All my mates have girlfriends and I’m the one on my own. I want a girl, I want someone I can spend the rest of my life with.”
And the 23-year-old admitted it may take him a while to get to know the other Islanders in the villa.
He continued:
“For a lot of people, it does take me a long time to get to know them. I need to go in there with my barriers down and be prepared to meet new people.”
It hasn’t been officially confirmed yet whether Love Island Australia will be airing in Ireland. But after Virgin Media Television aired both the UK and US versions this year, we’d imagine it is a definite possibility….
