Who is Shaq Muhammad?

Shaq is a 24-year-old from London.

He is hoping he'll be a hit with the ladies after past romantic failures.

He says: "I haven’t had the best luck with previous relationships. So I thought, why not be in the sun and potentially meet the love of my life? Hopefully I do come out with my future wife. The person I hope to marry one day. Hopefully she’s in the villa."

It could well be love at first sight when he does get introduced to the girls as he admits to falling fast.

He continues: "My family and friends would say I do. I’m the type of person that wears my heart on my sleeve. If I find someone I click with, I fall very hard, very fast. Sometimes that can be a bad thing. I’m a very emotional person. It can be a blessing and a curse."
