Love Island 2026 line-up REVEALED: First-class criminology graduate, suave business owner and DJ set to head into the Mallorcan villa looking for romance

ITV has confirmed the islanders will grace our screens for Love Island 2026.

The popular dating show returns on Monday, June 1, with a group of hopeful singles trying to find their kind on paper.

Maya Jama, who has just finished filming The Celebrity Traitors, will host the 13th series and has promised viewers there will be even more surprises this year.

Among the new crop of sexy singles is Lorenzo Alessi, a 28-year-old business owner from Hertfordshire.

The hunk lives a pretty lavish lifestyle with luxury getaways, sports cars, and Instagram-worthy parties.

He will be joining 21-year-old Liverpool native Robyn, who is a Quantity Surveyor and DJ.

Also coming is 21-year-old Mica, a Barbadian student currently living in London.

Entering is 21-year-old Mica, a student from Barbados who now lives in London.

When asked what type she is, Lorenzo said: ‘Traditionally blonde but not always. I quite like a flashy girl.

‘One of the features I look at is a girl’s arms, I don’t know why. It’s really weird! Think of a Jessica Alba or Angelina Jolie style sleeve and neck, I find it very elegant. Very niche, I know!’

Explaining her strategy for the show, Robyn said: ‘I like to observe first. I wouldn’t say I’m a slow-paced person, but I like to understand someone’s personality, how they carry themselves, and how they interact with other people.

‘I won’t rush into anything; I have to really like someone. And I’m an absolute star, they need to tick all the boxes before they even have a chance with me.’

Meanwhile, Mica clearly expressed what she doesn’t want in a man, saying: ‘I really don’t want a selfish, shy man. This is not my style at all. I can’t have someone who cares more about him than I do. They must be obsessed with me.’

Yesterday we revealed bosses had also signed stunning Criminology graduate Lola Deal, 28, from Kent.

Although it is certain that the brunette beauty will attract attention among this year’s contestants, it is not just her appearance that attracts the attention of the producers.

Lola has a first class honors degree in Criminology and Forensic Science from the University of Portsmouth and also has experience in business management.

His LinkedIn bio reads: ‘With a recent degree in Criminology and Forensic Science from the University of Portsmouth, I am currently looking for a role in the criminal justice sector.’

It looks like Lola also has a fun side, as a photo on Instagram shows her wearing a sexy devil costume. Elsewhere, she shared several stunning bikini photos.

Unlike many new contestants who enter the villa with hundreds of thousands of social media followers already behind them, Lola looks like a fresh face.

Many contestants who have signed up to the ITV show in recent years already have followers on social media. However, Lola only has 900 followers on Instagram.

Quantity Surveyor and DJ Robyn, 21, from Liverpool, is also looking for love in the villa

Yesterday we revealed bosses had also signed stunning Criminology graduate Lola Deal, 28, from Kent.

Lola has a first class honors degree in Criminology and Forensic Science from the University of Portsmouth.

The influencer, who hails from Dublin and has 360,000 followers on TikTok, already has a link to the ITV show as he is best friends with former islander Lucinda Strafford.

A source told me: ‘Love Island producers are really excited about Lola; She is not only beautiful, but also smart and funny.

‘She’s the total package and wants to find the man of her dreams.’

There are rumors that handsome electrician Sam Workman will also make an entrance.

Sam is said to hit the gym to make sure he’s in top shape for the ladies.

She appears to enjoy a relatively lavish lifestyle and has shared photos of herself posing in exotic beachside locations and on a jet ski on social media.

Primary School Teacher Sean, 25, from Galway, is hoping to turn heads.

The Irishman isn’t ready to ruffle any feathers by saying: ‘If I see someone I like, I go after them and nothing can stop me.’

Sean will be joined by Ellie, 24, a Property Videographer from West Lothian.

Describing the ideal man as ‘tall, dark and handsome’, Ellie explained: ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. It’s a classic for a reason. Beautiful teeth, beautiful tattoos, also fond of blondes. Beautiful face. You look like you’re going to break my heart, but please don’t.’

Samraj, a 25-year-old model from Birmingham, is also entering the villa.

The docile, hopeful says: ‘While I don’t seem arrogant, I don’t chase much in the outside world, I’m used to girls coming to me.

‘I know there is a different dynamic in the villa. I won’t push myself in the beginning, I’ll just watch and see who I like and then go from there.’

Charleen Murphy is also rumored to appear.

Charleen was previously in a four-year relationship with Irish professional footballer Dano Mandroiu, but the pair split in January.

The popular dating show, which has been a summer staple since its launch in 2015, will return on June 1 and will be hosted by host Maya Jama.

Announcing the show’s return date earlier this month, ITV said: ‘With unexpected arrivals, shifting loyalties and sparks flying, the new series promises even more unforgettable moments, unmissable messiness and plenty of romance.’

ITV2 recently released a fun-filled World Cup themed promotion as a brand new crop of Islanders head to Mallorca.

This year Love Island coincides with the World Cup, with the football competition taking place from 11 June to 19 July.

In the teaser trailer, Maya looked incredible as she kicked off her Love Island appearance in a pale pink dress.

Maya said: ‘We’ve got a team of worldly people and a bench full of bombs giving more fire pit drama… It all kicks off on Love Island.’

Love Island 2026 returns to our screens on June 1 on ITV2.
