A quantity surveyor and DJ, a student from Barbados, and a business owner are the first three contestants unveiled for the new series of Love Island.

The ITV2 dating show returns to screens on June 1st, with Maya Jama back as host.

Among those looking for love will be Robyn, 21, from Liverpool, who says her type is “tall, fair, muscles, nice teeth, pretty boy”.

She added: “I’m more into personality though. They’ve got to make me laugh, be charming and have good manners.”

The surveyor says finding love on the show is her “only goal”, continuing: “There may be a little bit of drama but I’m going in there for myself, so I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do.

“But I would like to think I’m a girl’s girl and that I handle situations quite well. I’ve got a mature brain.”

Business owner Lorenzo, 28, from Hertfordshire, said his type is “traditionally blonde,” adding: “I quite like a posh girl. One feature I look at is a girl’s arms, I don’t know why.

“It’s really strange! Imagine like a Jessica Alba or an Angelina Jolie kind of arm and neck, I find that very elegant. Very niche, I know!”

Meanwhile, student Mica, 21, who is originally from Barbados but lives in London, said she would be turned off by a “really egotistical, cringey man”.

She added: “That’s not my vibe at all. I can’t have someone who’s more into themselves then they are me. They need to be obsessed with me.”

Love Island returns on Monday, June 1st, at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
