Why Love Island and why now?

London dating hasn’t worked out for me. The opportunity to be surrounded by good-looking people in a villa under the sun is an absolute no brainer! I’m 30 years old and I need to start thinking seriously about the next step, and what better place?!

What do you think you’ll bring to the Villa?

Good energy always. I’m a lot of fun and I’ll be very cheeky. And cheesy chat up lines!

What makes you a catch?

Nice hair, good teeth and good chat. I like the nicer things in life. I’m a family person, I love dogs and I’m a good lover.

If there was one thing you’d want your new fellow Islanders to know about you, what would it be?

Just that I’m a great guy.

Why would you say you’re single?

I haven’t found the right girl, I’m quite picky and have high standards. Dating in London is horrible. You don’t know who’s single… but now you’re putting me in a place where everyone’s single so there’s no issues around that.

How would friends/family describe you?

Confident, funny and charismatic.

If you had to pick three of the most important things you look for in a partner what would they be?

Good values, good banter and a pretty face.

What’s your claim to fame?

I’m mates with Spencer Morgan (Piers Morgan’s son). We met when I moved to Fulham in 2018.

Tell us something not many people know about you? (Do you have any hidden talents or a party trick?)

I was born on Valentine’s Day. The girls never know that I’ll be cupid for them if they’re lucky.

If you had to pick any celebrities to be in the Villa with you, who would they be and why?

Margot Robbie – blonde, blue eyes and seems like a great person. I’d have Micky Flannagan just for the banter.
