Why Love Island and why now?

I’ve always thought about Love Island but now I’m 27 it feels like the right age for me to be serious about finding someone and settling down.

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

I’m a fun, bubbly person looking for a good time so I’m confident that I’ll get on really well with everyone and can hopefully find a nice girl whilst I’m at it.

What makes you a catch?

I always get told I’ve got a nice smile and I’m tall which goes down well with the girls.

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

I love Mayonnaise, I have it on everything I eat, even a roast dinner. The only thing I don’t have it on is cereal.

Why would you say you’re single?

I’ve had two serious relationships in the past but more recently have enjoyed being single and doing my own thing as I’ve been focussed on my football career. I’ve got to the age where I want to find the right person I can build a life with.

How would friends/family describe you?

Fun and bubbly but miserable if I’ve not got my mayo.

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

I want someone that’s family orientated, caring and career minded. Lookwise, I like blondes with nice boobs but am partial to a brunette too.

What’s your claim to fame?

Bradley Dack is my best friend and he and Olivia are a big part of my life. I call Olivia my big little sister, she always looks out for me.

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

Ricky Gervais would be a good laugh, he’s a funny guy. I’d also like Margot Robbie for the eye candy, I’d like to try my luck with her. I’d want Gordon Ramsay in there too to make me some nice food because all I can make is a toastie.
