He sounds like a right trouble maker.

Chloe Burrows

Chloe may have caught all the boys' attentions as evidenced in a recent explosive episode, but you can see she's always been a stunner from this uni halls pic taken way back in 2015.

Faye Winter

Faye has certainly nailed this classic Instapose in this snap from 2019 - the hair, tan and Adidas bodysuit are all on point and a sign of things to come.

Brad McClellan

A quick glance over Brad's insta and it's clear he uses it primarily to document his fitness journey. This snap from 2017 is from before it all began.

Kaz Kamwi

Kaz was already a fashion blogger before she entered the Love Island villa, and so her first photo is appropriately professional looking (boo).

Finally, a properly old photo! You can tell that Jake was already going to the gym when this photo was taken with a mate back in 2013.

Aaron Francis

Like Kaz, Aaron was already trying his hand as an influencer before he signed up to Love Island and so most of his photos are pretty glossy, but scroll down far enough and we found this photo of him seemingly winning an arm wrestle against Somoan Rugby Union player Many Tuilangi.

Toby Aromolaran

Toby's not giving anything away with this sultry selfie from 2018, other than perhaps that he's heading off on his holidays, judging by his passport and boarding pass. He doesn't look that excited about it though, does he?

Sharon Gaffka

In case you missed it, Sharon used to compete in beauty pageants and was Miss UK 2018. Here she is from the Galaxy pageant that same year.

Liberty Poole

It looks like Liberty has always been a big fan of the finer things in life - as well as a blonde hair extension or two - judging from this snap with a pal from 2019.

Liam Reardon

Viewers couldn't believe that Liam was only 21 when he entered the villa, but here's proof that Liam looked 30 way back in 2018 (regular teenaged boy for reference).

Rachel Finni

This photo of Rach taken on a night out was posted in 2017 but captioned, "2 Years Ago ud83dude2b#CanILookLikeThisAgainPlease", so we can assume it's from way back in 2015.

Millie Court

Proving she's always been a fan of posing up a storm in a bikini, we're majorly jeal of Millie's 2018 holiday to Cannes. Ahh, holidays - remember those?

Lucinda Strafford

Right, we can't actually believe this 2018 photo of bombshell Lucinda - have Love Island checked her I.D.? Is she old enough to be on the show?

What does Danny Bibby do for a living?

Minutes before heading out for her date with Danny, Kaz was seen getting very excited over the fact he’s a tradesman. Yep, Danny is a plumber but used his spare time in lockdown to set up his own clothing brand Kramco.

“I’m a very motivated and ambitious guy,” he revealed.

“So I had a lot of time off and set up the clothing brand with a friend. We’re in the process of launching it now.”

He’s also not a fan of the classic Love Island tight white jeans, hilariously admitting that the look is “a no from me”. LOL

Why has Danny Bibby decided to do Love Island?

The past year has made Danny do a lot of thinking and he’s now in the right mindset for love.

“My mindset has changed in the last year. Lockdown has really made me reevaluate my life and it’s done me good.”

He also revealed that he’s up for a bit of fun too, saying, “You never know what’s around the corner. Hopefully someone can sweep me off my feet.”

Who is Danny Bibby’s type on paper?

His perfect lady in Megan Fox. However, out of the girls in the villa, Kaz and Lucinda are the ones that are ticking all his boxes.

“Lucinda is my type - nice eyes and tanned. Sharon is nice,” he confessed.

“I like Kaz’s vibe. Kaz is bubbly like me so I think we’d get on like a house on fire. I think me and Kaz will vibe.”

How many tattoos has Danny Bibby got?

He’s lost count!

When asked what his many tatts mean, he said, “Some are quotes which inspire me every day. I’ve got my clothing brand logo so I can see it every day. That motivates me to keep doing it. I’ve got 13 which is my lucky number.”

Has Danny Bibby got Instagram?

He sure has, you can follow him over on @dannybibby_

Danny comes across as a very deep and meaningful guy as his bio reads, “lost time is never found.”

He's also got quite the following, racking up over 18k followers before he entered the villa.

Did Danny Bibby use the N-word?

Just a day after he entered the villa, it came to light that Danny has used the N-word on Instagram.

In a now deleted comment after one of his friends commented "Champ 👊" underneath his photo, he responded, "My n----".

His comment was written in November 2019, when he was 23 years old, but that didn't stop eagle-eyed fans from noticing his comment.

Fans took to Twitter to insist that Danny should be axed from the show, with one writing, "Get this man out of the villa‼️‼️‼️"

A statement from Danny, issued via ITV late on Friday, said: “I’d like to take the time to apologise to anyone that may have taken offence to my inappropriate remark.

“I never meant anything malicious by this comment at all. I am not a racist person and it’s unacceptable language and ignorant.

“I meant no offence and feel like I have really learnt from my mistakes and will never use that word again.

“I am a kind loving person and hopefully you get to see that in the show.”
