Love Island line-up
According to a recent source, Welsh rugby hunk Ciaran will head into the Majorcan villa.
The insider told The Sun: “Ciaran caught the eye of Love Island bosses immediately. He’s gorgeous with a fit athletic build that will send the girls in the villa wild, but he’s also a sweet boy next door from Wales to boot.
“He’s the kind of lad you could happily take home to your mum.”
The source added: “He’s been in talks with bosses for weeks and is set to jet out to the villa in Majorca in the coming week or so. Right now, it’s unclear whether he is one of the OG line-up or a bombshell but he is a favourite with the casting team and is sure to make a big impression with viewers.”
ED! has contacted reps for ITV for comment.
Love Island trailer
At the end of April, the Love Island social media pages released a trailer teasing the new series.
It showed host Maya shooting a fire gun. The words “this summer’s going to be [fire]” then flashed up.
Fans appear besides themselves awaiting a summer of love. One person said: “So excited literally cannot wait.”
Another commented: “YESSSSS. Can’t wait.”
