The Love Island villa doors are officially open, and Aidan Murphy is one of the twelve OG Islanders ready to make his mark from day one.

I hope the Islanders are ready, because it seems we have a troublemaker on our hands. Before Aidan even set foot in the villa, he admitted might be "stirring the pot a little bit" when he spots drama in the villa.

When it comes to handling the competition, Aidan doesn't see it as a problem. He said: "I think everything happens for a reason, so I just stay in my own lane and let things play out."

What is Love Island's Aidan looking for on Love Island?

The OG Islander says he's ready for his love life to take off in the villa, having not dated around very much.

But forget the traditional 'type on paper', Aidan says he's focusing on someone's personality instead, as it's the "most important" thing for him.

He revealed: "I like someone who’s fun, can take a joke and doesn’t take themselves too seriously. If we’re constantly laughing and getting on, that’s what matters most."
