IN just two weeks’ time a brand new villa will open its doors to a host of sexy singletons looking for love and fame.

Just yesterday head honcho Mike Spencer confirmed the class of 2022 has been finalised after a "very robust"; selection process – and they are “brilliant”.

The Sun has already revealed a number of names in the running and there have been plenty more rumoured to be jetting to Spain.

Here’s what we know so far…

Sophie Draper

The Sun revealed last month that stunning beautician Sophie, 22, has been in talks for the show.

She previously dated Aston Villa right-back Matty Cash for four years prior to their sudden split last year and is now looking for love.

A source said: “Love Island bosses think she could be a good fit for the show, it's early days still but she definitely has potential.

“Matty will be pretty shocked to see her looking for love on TV, but he publicly moved on pretty quickly.”

Gemma Owen

Michael is said to have given his blessing to Gemma to do the show

England football hero Michael Owen’s daughter Gemma is in talks to appear on Love Island.

The Sun revealed that the 19-year-old, who has her own swimwear range, is thought to have got her fiercely protective dad’s blessing to go on the dating show.

A source said: “Gemma isn’t just beautiful, smart and single, but she has one of the country’s best-loved sports stars as her dad.

“ITV bosses are scrambling to get her signed up for this year’s Love Island.”

Joshua Legrove

Joshua is fighting fit and ready to find love

Hunky Joshua Legrove looks set to head to the villa after catching the eye of producers with his jet set lifestyle and impressive boxing career.

A TV insider told The Sun: “Joshua is a perfect fit for the show. Bosses are hoping he’ll follow in the footsteps of boxer Tommy Fury, who was a huge hit.

“Joshua is really handsome but there is much more to him than that – the girls will go wild for him.”

Brad McDermott

Brad has taken a few tips from his sister Zara

Last month The Sun revealed that Zara McDermott’s brother Brad is in talks to appear on Love Island this year.

Former Islander Zara, who appeared on the ITV2 show in 2018, found love with Adam Collard in the villa and the pair later moved in together, before splitting.

One source said: “Brad is a young, good looking guy, and he has seen how appearing on Love Island has completely transformed Zara’s life.

“Though she didn’t find long-term love, it has served as a great platform for her.”

Missy Keating

Ronan Keating’s daughter Missy,21, has been tipped to enter the villa.

Her dad added fuel to the rumours saying: "Well, look she’s getting a lot of offers from different reality TV shows to do different things. She’s a very confident girl."

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu

The actress is already a huge hit in Turkey

The Sun revealed that producers made a beeline for Turkish beauty Ekin-Su, who it turns out already has her share of male celebrity admirers.

The beauty, who splits her time between London and Istanbul, has starred in a Turkish TV series, Kuzey Yildizi, and while she may not been known on these shores yet, that’s sure to change when she turns heads on the ITV2 hit.

A source close to the show said: “Ekin-Su is the perfect contestant to get viewers tuning in this summer.

"Not only is she beautiful, she’s also used to being on TV and moves in showbiz circles so she’s sure to bring fireworks.”
