With the newest series of Love Island hitting our screens in a matter of days (Monday, June 3rd), we are getting closer and closer to meeting the next batch of romantics hoping to nab the love of their lives as well as that £50k prize.
Luckily, we’ve got a sneak peak of the latest lot to walk through those villa doors, and we can almost guarantee that Love Island 2024 will have one of the best casts to date. We know, it's hard to top bromances like that of Chris Hughes and Ken Cetinay, or the queen that is Maura Higgins, but we may have a shot here.
One of the latest Love Island hopefuls is recruitment manager Munveer Jabbal, who hopes to meet the one in that famous Spanish villa.
"[Dating] has always been good but never gone to a point where ‘Yeah, do you know what, I want to take this to the next level, I want to be serious and settle down’… I've got to think about it seriously, because the next person I'm with I'd like to settle down with; kids, the big family, the nice car, the big house.
"Those things are really important to me, so I'm not just doing it for the shits and giggs, nor am I going to jump into something unless I feel 100%."
So Munveer is clearly after The One. You know, the one you can buy that nice car and big house with? With a taste for the finer things, he’ll likely feel right at home in the villa.
One of the highlights of the villa is the Hideaway, where couples can enjoy a night alone away from their fellow Islanders. Naturally, there have been some saucy Hideaway scenes in the past, but is Munveer as eager as the rest of the Islanders to head into the private room?
When we asked him if he was planning on making the most of his time in the Hideaway or keeping it PG, he had no hesitation.
“Keep it PG for sure. My mum and my nan are going to be watching so I'm going to be very respectful. Obviously representing South Asian community, you know, that'd go against everything we stand for. So, I'm going to be keeping it PG.”
Fair enough, and unlike the early days of Love Island the producers now tend to cut cutting away in the Hideaway, so we wouldn’t know what goes on in there anyway.
Anywya, here’s everything else you need to know about Munveer before he enters the villa in search of love.
