From mugging off to necking on - we are all ready to welcome Love Island back into our summer night routine.
This year’s contestants have been revealed and we can’t wait to see who couples up, hangs out in the hideout and - admittedly - who’s causing the drama.
Previous contestants have failed to return to normality, instead being paid to take hundreds of selfies to advertise everything from tan to soap powder, as the show is synonymous with the influencer lifestyle.
So, how are the singletons of 2021 ranking on Insta - and what do they post about? This is what we know.
Brummie blonde Liberty currently works at Nando’s while studying business at university. The 21-year-old shares snaps of her girls’ nights out on her Instagram, as well as comparing herself to Barbie - referring to herself as a ‘life sized doll’ and warning followers ‘no you can’t play with me.’

6. Toby Aromolaran
Toby is a semi-professional football player who plays for ‘hashtag’ united, which he claims is a very social media inclusive team. It may be why he has a respectable 17.6k following on Insta, but he has only 17 snaps and the vast majority are action shots from playing football. In one snap, he commented that football is his valentine - looks like the girls have a lot to compete with. Photo: ITV
7. Hugo Hammond
Hugo has 17,600 followers, though when he was first announced as a contestant he had just a few thousand. It’s likely he hasn’t been so social media savvy because of his day job as a secondary school PE teacher. He is also a professional cricket player who plays for the national disabled athletes’ team. By the looks of his Insta, he loves a good cocktail and a fresh white shirt. Photo: ITV
8. Jake Cornish
Self-professed alpha male Jake has only 14.5k followers on his Instagram, where his friends have described him as a “loyal, trustworthy, cheeky chappy” since it was announced he is going into the villa.
