It’s that time of year again, folks.
We’re only a mere day away from Love Island kicking off and thrusting us head first into a whole two months of sauce, seduction, and serious grafting.
A great time for all involved sure, but until then we can only spend the next 36 or so hours sitting patiently, eagerly, thirstily, as we await the villa to reopen and introduce us to the singletons who are going to make our summer 2019 worth living.
… Or we could just follow them all on Instagram in the meantime and lurk them to bits.
Whichever you prefer.
This year, it appears that more contestants than ever have already amassed themselves a decent following on the Gram ahead of the show.
Among them are Curtis Pritchard, Tommy Fury, and Anna Vakili who all had a steady number of followers on their accounts before they were even confirmed for the show.
But hey, we can’t all be the sibling of a vaguely recognisably celebrity.
Here’s the rest of the contestant’s handles. Knock yourself out.
Yewanda Biala
Yewande is a 23-year-old scientist from Dublin.
She considers herself to be very loyal and says she would never steal a man who is coupled up with another girl. She hopes to find someone who is athletic and full of banter in the villa. Arrogance is her turn off.

Lucie Donlan
Lucie is a 21-year-old surfer from Newquay. Lucie finds that she gets on better with guys than girls because they’re allegedly “less drama.”
She also doesn’t really think that ‘girl code’ exists, which bodes well for the rest of the women in there. Her last flame was Love Island 2018’s Charlie Frederick.
Remember him? Us neither.

Curtis Pritchard
Curtis might be a familiar face to many as he has starred on Dancing With The Stars Ireland. He’s also the brother of Strictly‘s AJ Pritchard.
Curtis is 23-years-old and from Shropshire. He’s a professional dancer and believes his dating life so far has been quite sheltered compared to many. He has no real type when it comes to girls and believes that love is blind.
Bless.

Joe Garratt
Joe is 22-years-old and the owner of his own catering company in London.
Joe can’t stand “stuck up girls” and hopes to find someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously. The 22-year-old also admitted that he’d never cheat on a girl and only has eyes for one person at a time.

Amy isn’t looking for a time waster and hopes to find true romance and someone she can travel the world with. She was also previously mistaken to be dating One Direction’s Liam Payne when she posted a photo of them from a night out.
That’s her fun fact. It’s a good ‘un, right?

Anton Danyluk
From Airdrie, this 24-year-old Scottish gym owner will be one of the first six guys to enter the villa.
Anton is looking for a girl who’s into the gym because it is, of course, his passion. Anton has never been loyal in any of his relationships and says he has a severe wandering eye.
Great.
