Meet the new Love Islanders 2018

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

An A&E worker, multiple models and Danny Dyer’s daughter are all currently sitting happily in one of Majorca’s finest luxury, participating in this year’s addictive series of Love Island.

The contestants – chosen from over 150,000 applicants – for the 2018 series look as tanned, toned, and tattooed as you would expect. All aged in their twenties, their jobs range from personal trainer to nuclear systems design engineer.

Already, Kendall, from Blackpool, and Niall have left the series, with five newcomers having joined the remaining nine.

Below you can click through a gallery of the contestants and find out a little about each person.

The new series of Love Island began on the 4 June and continues daily (apart from Saturdays) 9pm on ITV 2. Caroline Flack returns as host, with Ian Sterling once again acting as the inimitable voice of the show.

While last year’s series, one that proved incredibly popular, continued for eight weeks, this year’s contestants were told they would need to be available for a minimum of ten weeks.

Flack has also spoken about this series being the “longest yet”, so expect even more drama than usual.
