Love Island new boy Chuggs joined show after pandemic ‘stole a year of his life’ and wants a girlfriend who plays GOLF
LOVE Island new boy Chuggs Wallis is set to enter the Majorcan villa - and he already has a very specific idea of who he's looking for.
The business owner from Surrey has revealed he's keen to find a girlfriend to play GOLF with after the pandemic "stole a year of his life" from him.
Bombshell Chuggs, 23, will join fellow "hot new boy" Liam Reardon in entering the villa on Thursday night's dramatic episode of Love Island.
The soon-to-be reality star said he felt it was "now or never" when signing up after the coronavirus pandemic saw his life turned upside down.
"Half of my last year of uni was taken away and we had so many fun plans," he said of his decision to enter the iconic ITV dating show.
"With Covid and the pandemic, I feel like I've missed a year of my youth, so I'm really gagging to get it all back - make the most of it."
Chuggs already has a specific idea of what he's looking for in a potential partner, having his eyes on Liberty, Chloe and Faye.
"I need someone to be my best mate," he explained. "I need someone who is going to muck in with my brothers, my family."
Chuggs added that he's keen for someone similar to his "mate's girlfriend" who joins in with "rugby and golf" with the boys and is one of the lads.
"She's great, she gets involved - I want something like that," he concluded.
Last night, fans were left in shock as Love Island 2021 delivered the shocking twist that two bombshells would soon be arriving.
After dumping Shannon Singh in the first few minutes of the show, it teased it will shake things up again by introducing two new men.
Chuggs has already caught the attention of viewers at home for his unusual moniker, which fans are desperate to work out "what it's short for".
One fan kicked off the debate: "I'm sorry but how do you expect anyone to take you seriously in there when your name is Chuggs?"
A second suggested of the name: "Chuggs is defo short for something like Archibald Chugginton."
"Wait, Chuggs is a name of an actual person?" a third questioned, while a fourth said: "Did his mama really name him Chuggs or is that a nickname?"
Chuggs, whose real name is Oliver George Lee Wallis, owns a successful bucket hat business called Booby Buckets.
He will enter the villa alongside 21-year-old Liam from Wales, who admitted he had "struggled to find a girlfriend" through the pandemic.
