Love Island bosses have reportedly signed up stunning makeup artist Samantha Kenny from Liverpool for the 2024 dating series.
According to The Sun, Samantha, 27, will be heading to the Majorca villa in the coming days.
The beauty salon worker frequently updates her 4,000 Instagram followers with bikini-clad pictures, showcasing her glamorous lifestyle.
The popular ITV2 reality show is set to return on June 3, with Maya Jama introducing the new singletons.
Additionally, MailOnline revealed that Love Island bosses have also signed up a stunning model already followed by notable figures like Molly-Mae Hague and Conor McGregor.
Influencer Grace Jackson, 25, from Manchester, will be entering the Mallorca villa when the show launches next month, and producers are “excited” for her to join the lineup.
Grace, who has nearly 80,000 Instagram followers, is familiar with the camera due to her work with Fashion Nova and Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty lingerie brand. She is signed with Manchester-based agency MM Models and regularly posts glamorous bikini photos on her Instagram.
A source shared, “Love Island producers are really excited about Grace, not only is she beautiful but she’s fun and looking to find her dream man, so will hopefully make the perfect contestant.”
Welsh rugby player Ciaran Davies will also star in the upcoming summer season, with an insider telling Sun Online his “fit athletic body” is sure to entice the female Islanders.
The new cast of dating hopefuls will be jetting out to Mallorca this week ahead of the show’s launch on Monday, June 3, hosted by Maya Jama.
On Wednesday, Maya, 29, was filmed discussing her role on the ITV2 series with King Charles at the Creative Industries Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. After introducing herself, Maya explained she is the host of a “reality dating show,” adding, “I don’t know if you watch that though…” King Charles responded, “There’s one born every minute,” as Maya mentioned she is about to fly to Spain to “film some new young people snog somewhere,” prompting the royal to laugh at her remark.
The summer series follows Love Island: All Stars, where Molly Smith and Tom Clare, whose relationship is still going strong, were crowned winners.
Since winning the title, Molly has secured lucrative deals with jewelry brand Abbott Lyon, fashion giant boohoo, and US fitness supplements Alani Nu.
The last summer series was won by Jess Harding and Sammy Root, but the couple split soon after claiming the £50,000 prize.
Jess is currently in a private relationship, while Sammy has begun filming scenes with the cast of TOWIE.
This year, Islanders starring on the show will continue to keep their Instagram pages “dormant” to protect their mental health and the well-being of their friends and family. In previous years, contestants have faced trolling, with negativity affecting their profiles and causing distress to their loved ones in their absence.
