Ready for a summer of love? Love Island 2024 is here with its dazzling cast - here are all the singletons on the line-up including all the new bombshells.

Love Island All Stars warmed you up for a summer of love and season 11 is in full swing, with contestants like Grace Jackson, Uma Jammeh, Matilda Draper and Jessy Potts, who we're all getting to know.

It's being streamed on ITV for the ninth summer series and 11th season in total, and rumour has it they have big plans for the 10th anniversary show next year.

Unlike All Stars, which had previous islanders return to the sunny search for love, Love Island's regular series throws gals and guys from all across the UK into a villa in the hopes they walk away with the love of their life.

Jess White

Age: 25

From: Stockport

Occupation: Shop Manager

Jess admits she's single because she's "hard work" so she won't be giving the lads an easy time in the villa. Better get grafting boys!

Sam Taylor

Age: 23

From: Chesterfield

Occupation: Hair Stylist

Sam doesn't want his fellow Islanders to 'judge a book by its cover'. He said: "How I look compared to what I do for work might not necessarily add up. You wouldn’t look at me as a tall guy covered in tattoos and think that I make girls' hair look pretty for a living."

We bet the girls in the villa will love Sam!

On why he's heading into Love Island, the 23-year-old said: "At this point in my life I just want the opportunity to find a real connection with someone. I’ve been looking for that connection for quite some time but I’ve never really found it, I’m hoping I find that spark in the Villa."

Age: 24 

From: Portsmouth

Occupation: Mental Health Nurse

Mimii's heading into Love Island because 'the pool in Portsmouth is not giving.' She said: "I’ve tried dating, speaking to people on social media and it just hasn’t been successful. Applying was a spontaneous thing, I didn’t expect to get here!"

The 24-year-old describes herself as a true 'girls' girl': "My girls are my rocks and I’m theirs so I’ll be a good friend as well as going in there to find a man. I like dressing up so I’ll bring style, and I’d like to think I’m quite funny so I’ll make people."

On why she's joining Love Island, Patsy said: "I’m finally ready to find a sexy man and I think Love Island may just have some nice hunky guys for me. I think now is the right time as I’ve got a few greys so I need to bag a man sooner rather than later."

Age: 30 

From: Surbiton, Surrey 

Occupation: Recruitment Manager

Munveer, who's friends with Piers Morgan's son Spencer, is looking for love this summer!

Here's why he's headed into the villa: "London dating hasn’t worked out for me. The opportunity to be surrounded by good looking people in a villa under the sun is an absolute no brainer! I’m 30 years old and I need to start thinking seriously about the next step, and what better place."

Nicole Samuel

Age: 24

From: Aberdare

Occupation: Accounts Manager

Nicole is finally ready to put the fun of her single life behind her and look for a serious match.

Ronnie Vint

Age: 27

From: South East London

Occupation: Semi Professional Footballer

Ronnie is best friends with ex Islander Olivia Attwood and her husband Bradley Dack, so she's no doubt given Ronnie all the tips for the villa.

Asked what he's looking for in a woman before he headed into Love Island, Ronnie said: "I want someone that's family orientated, caring and career minded. Lookwise, I like blondes with nice boobs but am partial to a brunette too."

Samantha Kenny

Age: 26

From: Liverpool

Occupation: Makeup Artist

Samantha, 26, is on her way to the Love Island summer 2024 villa. Samantha is a makeup artist from Liverpool who already has a strong following of 5k on Instagram.

She plans on bringing some fire to the villa: "I think I will definitely bring some fire, I’m very opinionated and wear my heart on my sleeve. I’m really bubbly too so I’ll definitely have a laugh as well as bringing some scouse glamour."

Ciaran Davies

Name: Ciaran Davies

Age: 21

From: Pencoed, South Wales

Occupation: Surveyor

Welsh rugby player Ciaran Davies is heading into the Love Island summer 2024 villa.

Here's what he's looking for in a potential girlfriend: "Obviously looks but humour is a big thing for me, I’m a bit of a wind up so I want a girl who can give it back. Loyalty is another one for me, I think that’s the most important thing to look for in a relationship."

Ciaran also confessed he pretended to be Liam Reardon from series seven to get into a club once 'because they wouldn’t let us in.' He said they ended up getting a private booth and free drinks all night.
