With the new series of Love Island underway, fans are quickly getting to know the new contestants looking for romance in the famous villa.

Rumoured hopefuls Tommy Fury and Amber Gill made the confirmed cast-list - along with other sexy singletons including the brother of a Strictly Come Dancing star.

From a hunky firefighter to a sexy surfer chic and a very glamorous scientist, ITV bosses have pulled out all the stops to bring a varied line-up to the villa in 2019... and the new bunch are rather easy on the eye too.

Here is everything you need to know about the new islanders.

The Boys

Age : 20

From : Manchester

Job : Boxer

Tommy is the younger brother of boxer Tyson Fury, but he's keen to make a name for himself in his own right.

He describes his ideal woman as, "blonde hair, blue eyes, good tan, gym girl...", and said he'd go "to the moon and back" to get the girl.

Tommy Fury gives himself "a solid eight [out of 10]", and said, "I feel like I’ve got a unique personality and Love Island is a good place to showcase it. I’m fun, bubbly, good to get along with and just really easy-going."

Age : 24

From : Airdrie, Scotland

Job : Gym owner

Scottish Anton describes himself as "funny, very hard-working and really motivated", and he's looking for a "hard working and good looking" woman in the villa.

He might not be the most loyal Love Island contestant, as he confesses to having a "wandering eye".

Anton admitted, "I’ve never really been loyal in any of my relationships. My last relationship, I actually got caught cheating for the first time in my life and it changed everything for me. I saw how much it hurt her and what it did to her.

So, for me going to into Love Island, it’s going to be the biggest test of my life. I know that if I am loyal to someone in that space of time when hot girls are being thrown in all the time then I know I can be loyal to them."

Job: Aircraft engineer

28-year-old Callum is worried about being "left on the shelf", and is looking for a "blonde and petite" girl with a great personality.

He describes himself as "fun, loyal and quite spontaneous as well". He said, "I love to be clean, I clean my house all the time! I can be a bit edgy sometimes, I like to get things done. I think that’s my engineering side."

Age: 23

From: Shropshire

Job: Ballroom and Latin dancer

Curtis is the brother of Strictly Come Dancing's AJ Pritchard, and he's on Dancing with the Stars Ireland himself.

He rates his looks "quite high up the scale", and says that his best feature is his smile.

Curtis says his career means that he's led quite a sheltered life: "Being truthful, I’ve probably been on less than ten dates, maybe five dates. I have never met anyone online, I’ve never used a dating app.

My ex-girlfriend was my dance partner. We danced with each other from when we were twelve until we were fourteen, we were the champions. When we got older, we both ended up doing Dancing with the Stars in Ireland and got into a relationship."

He rates his looks a seven and a half (or an eight on a good day), and has been told off for hitting on girls while he's at work.

Michael rates his looks ten out of ten, and says "I’m a hero! I’m a firefighter, who doesn’t want their own firefighter? Their own local hero."

On his best qualities, he credits himself as "a good friend" and "someone people can trust".

He said: "I’ve always got peoples’ back and that’s what I pride myself on. In terms of being a Love Islander and trying to find love, I’ll be funny, probably a bit cheeky but I do like to have a laugh."

From : Worthing Sussex

Job : Air hostess/ cabin crew manager

26-year-old Amy describes herself as the "Bridget Jones of my friendship group" and says that she's a "good mix of someone who can be fun and serious, I’ll be able to look after people and I’ll be able to get really stuck in with all the fun things too."

She rates her looks a six and a half (but says that her personality is an eight) and claims that the song 'Tragedy' by Steps best sums up her love life!

Age : 21

From : Newquay

Job : Surfer

Surfer Lucie describes herself as "more of a guy’s girl than a girl’s girl" and says "I stand out and I’m different to the usual girls that might go on the show. I’m more into sports as well as being glam. I can do both, which makes me stand out compared to other girls."

She briefly dated Charlie Frederick from Love Island 2018, and says that in general she likes "the typical surfer look - blonde, long hair.... I find sporty guys so much more attractive compared to your average guy that just chills and goes on nights out."

Age: 28

From: London

Job: Pharmacist

Pharmacist Anna Vakilli thinks that she's "different to anyone who has been on the show before." She said, "I have the whole glam look, I’m fun but at the same time I feel like I have more to me than that. I studied hard and I’ve got my masters."

Anna has been in "serious relationship after serious relationship", and says that nine months is the longest she's been single since she was 17.

Her perfect guy "would be tall, good-looking, dark hair and dark eyes. He would be fit. Personality wise, he would be loyal, kind and emotional. I like the soppy guys. I’m not into cocky boys at all, I like smart and funny."

Yewande Biala - DUMPED

Age : 23

From : Dublin

Job : Scientist

Yewande Biala is a scientist, which she says usually shocks people when she tells them.

Her ideal man is "someone that I can hold a normal conversation with. Someone that has good banter and someone that is easy to get along with and honest. Lookswise, I like them to be tall and athletic."

Yewande says that she's a "terrible flirt", but that she's also a "girly girl" and doesn't think she would ever steal somebody else's man.

Amber Gill

Age : 21

From : Newcastle

Job : Beauty therapist

21-year-old Amber says she has a "big personality" and gets on with others really well. She said, "People think I’m funny. I don’t take myself too seriously and I’m always up for a laugh. I’ll be good on challenges and dates."

"My three best personality traits would be that I’m funny, that I am sassy and I’m kind and like to include everyone. I like to make friends with everybody. My three worst are that I can be hot-headed, I’m loud and some people don’t appreciate that. I’m quite opinionated."

Amber's ideal guy is muscly and athletic, but she wants someone who is funny and who doesn't take themselves too seriously.

Elma Pazar - DUMPED

Age : 26

From : Essex

Job : Eyelash technician

Elma says she's an "all rounder", tipping the islanders to get on with her just fine.

She describes herself as "really caring" and "a big ball of energy".

Elma says: "I don’t take anything too seriously. I’m really loud, which people might see as irritating or annoying, and I have quite a distinctive voice. I can’t listen to myself back on a video."

Age : 28

From : County Longford, Ireland

Job : Model and grid girl

She describes herself as "outgoing" and revealed she was "looking for love".

Maura said: "I’m a relationship type of girl. I hate being single. I was in a nine-year relationship that finished a few years ago.

"Then I was with another guy, we broke up last year sometime, then we got back together but the trust was gone and it’s not going to come back. It ended quite recently. As the trust is just gone, for me, there is no going back."
