Although it seems like we’ve been waiting FOREVER, this year’s Love Island is finally within touching distance with just a week to go until the next bunch of sassy singletons hit our screens.
There’s been lots of rumours flying around about who could be heading to the villa and now it looks like this year’s first male contestant has been revealed.
According to The Sun, 22-year-old Eyal Booker is one of the hopefuls that will be looking for love in the Palma paradise.
The model and actor is originally from London but is currently based in Cape Town, South Africa. He already has over 44,000 Instagram followers and is rather partial to sharing a shirtless selfie.
The self-described ‘nature boy’ enjoys hiking, longboarding, swimming and paddleboarding and already has a famous admirer, Corrie star Georgia May Foote who has liked several of his Insta pics.
Maybe Eyal will couple up with Dani Dyer who was this year’s first ‘confirmed’ contestant. After her brief stint on Survival of the Fittest earlier this year, she’s thought to have signed up for the show despite being warned off by her ex-boyfriend Sam.

Dani Dyer
Dani Dyer was forced to leave Survival Of The Fittest earlier this year after injuring her elbow in the first task. It was then reported that Love Island producers were keen to book her for the upcoming series. It has now seemingly been confirmed that she's going on the show, but has been banned from having sex on TV by her father Danny Dyer. A source told The Sun: "Danny wasn't happy about her signing up to do Love Island because he doesn't want her have sex on-screen."He thinks it could damage her reputation in years to come. No father wants to see their daughter romping on national TV."He's imposed a strict no-bonking ban as he doesn't want her to do anything she regrets. He doesn't even want her to snog anyone."
Taylor Ward
Taylor is the daughter of RHOC star Dawn Ward, and producers are reportedly very keen to get her on board.
Ethan Allen
You may remember Ethan from his cameo on last year's Love Island - when he visited his sister Gabby Allen on the show. He's now rumoured to be following in his sister's footsteps.
Katie Snooks
Katie is a YouTuber, who ignited rumours she's going on the show last year after screenshotting an email with the subject 'Love Island 2018' and posting it online alongside the caption 'So tempted'
Carla Howe
Love Island producers are reportedly keen to get Tyga's ex Carla on the show (presumably in the hope she'll spill some goss)
Dima Ziadie
Dima is the adopted son of Lady Colin Campbell, and is reportedly heading into the villa.
Elizabeth-Jane Tierney
Jamie O'Hara's ex Elizabeth-Jane Tierney is the latest housemate rumoured for the show. Jamie himself told The Mirror that she'll 'probably' end up heading to the villa. He added: "I think they've been asking her to do it so I think she'll end up going on."
Kem Cetinay
Don't fret, you haven't been transported back to 2017. Kem Cetinay apparently might be heading to the villa for a second time. After winning the show with Amber Davies last year, the couple sadly split. And Kem might just be in with another chance at finding lurve. He posted a photo captioned: "Missing the hot weather,,, wouldn't mind another summer in the villa. Second time luckyud83dude02ud83dude48ud83eudd37ud83cudffd♂".
Theo Campbell
And joining Kem might be his Love Island series three co-star Theo Campbell, who tweeted the following very telling message: "When I go on this time im actually going try and find love".Very suspicious.
Amelia Goodman
Amelia is a chemistry student in London and the sister of EOTB and CBB star Chloe Goodman. She's reportedly heading into the villa after meeting with producers.
"Sam and Dani are really good friends and she runs everything past him. His advice was to not do the show – he feels it’s the wrong move for her," a source told The Sun.
“Dani and Sam have a special bond and even after things didn’t work out when they were dating, they speak weekly. When Dani was asked to do Love Island last year he advised her against."
But Dani is reportedly determined to make it to the villa, despite Sam's concerns.
“She did have a wobble but is going to do the show," the source added.
