After the success of last year's Love Island, it seems like absolutely everybody is applying for the 2018 series, and this includes former Celebrity Big Brother star Heavy D.
Heavy D, real name Colin Newell, has confessed to applying for this year's series of the popular ITV2 dating show, telling producers they 'need somebody like him' on the show.
Revealing the news to his Twitter page, Heavy D uploaded a lengthy video where he can be seen listing all of the reasons why he thinks he should be accepted onto the show.
Alongside the video he wrote, 'Just submitted my application for @LoveIsland you need me on your show! Over to you @ITV...' [sic]
In the video he can be heard saying, "Hey, it’s Heavy D. I think you need me on **Love Island **because basically, let’s face it. You need a bit of character, a bit of personality and someone who’s gonna come in there and stir things up.
"Also I’m a ladies man, I love the ladies, love chatting up the ladies, love getting involved and love getting stuck in. And also I would break the myth of all these eye candy and stuff like that, have you got a bit of that and I think it’ll send a message to young people out there and everyone that watches it, you don’t have to be perfect."
He then added, "Your personality is enough. I think I’m the best person to come in because I’ll break the myth. You need someone like me. Personality, body, I got both – get me in, you know what to do."
Although it's not yet known whether Love Island bosses will listen to Heavy D's request, it seems fans of the 44-year-old would like to see him on the show.
