RON Hall is swapping cold Britain for warm South Africa, to take part in Love Island 2023.
The hunk in trunks is first partially-sighted contestant to appear on the ITV2 show.
Who is Ron Hall?
Born in 1996, Ron Hall is a finance worker who hails from Essex.
He has switched the world of business to become a reality star on Love Island 2023.
Speaking about being selected for the show, he told ITV: "I think it’s the best show to find love on.
"I’m now 25 and I had in my head that I’d be with someone, settled and married by say 27… it’s now coming awfully close to that.
READ MORE ON Ron Hall
Ron lost the sight in his right eye in a footballing accident as a youngster, and as a result, he is blind in one eye.
Talking about the day it happened, he said: "On meeting me, you’d never know I am blind in one eye. It was the result of a football injury when I was 8; I went in for a header and got kicked in the face.
"I’ve got two different coloured eyes, one blue and one green. It’s added to my character, there are so many people that are worse off than me. And if anything, losing something like that makes you realise that. It’s not hindered me in any shape or form. It’s a good conversation starter I must admit."
He follows model Tasha Ghouri who appeared as the first deaf contestant in the 2022 summer series.
