Soap star’s daughter leads cast of latest ‘Love Island’

OHMYGOSSIP — The daughter of a soap actress, a beautician, footballer and French model are among the first new ‘Love Island’ cast.
Their names were released on Monday (29.05.23) by ITV2 ahead of the contestants entering the villa next month for the summer run of the dating show, which starts 5 June.
The entrance of Molly Marsh – whose mum Janet has had roles in a string of British soaps – was first reported earlier this month, and confirming she had signed up, she said: “With my job being in social media, I’ve had some amazing opportunities to go on press trips and I’ve actually been out to the Love Island Villas in Mallorca and South Africa.
“Having the experience to walk around both was amazing but to now actually live in the Villa is going to be incredible.”
Doncaster-born Molly, 21, boasts 26,000 followers on her Instagram and she is thought to have caught show bosses’ eyes after taking a tour of the winter villa in January.
She added when asked why she wants to go on ‘Love Island’: “I think it’s ideal timing and the perfect way to find someone.
“I don’t go out and party and I don’t use dating apps, I’m actually quite old-fashioned, so there’s no better way to meet someone than by going into a Villa in the sun with the potential ‘one’ in there.
“I live on a farm with my mum, dad, sister, grandma, grandad, aunty, uncle, cousin, cousin’s husband, their baby and chicken.”
Beautician Ruchee Gurung, 24, from Sutton, semi-pro footballer Tyrique Hyde, 24, from Essex, and Bedford-born business development executive George Fensom, 24, as well as Catherine Agbaje, 22, a commercial real estate agent from Dublin, are also part of the line-up.
Like former contestant Tasha Amber Ghouri, Tyrique is deaf, with the sportsman lacking hearing in one ear.
He has marked his disability with a tattoo, saying: “I’m deaf in my right ear. I’ve got a tattoo next to my left one that symbolises strength and power in my good one.”
French model Mehdi Edno, 26, is being tipped to the be this season’s Davide Sanclimenti, and Glaswegian model Ella Thomas, 23, has also signed up.
Their names were released after show host Maya Jama, 28, revealed on ‘Good Morning Britain on Monday viewers will choose who couples with who for the first time in the history of ‘Love Island’.
‘Love Island’ will air from 9pm on 5 June on ITV2 and ITVX.
