Ethan Ellis 

Arrived Week 6
Age: 28
Job: Fitness Coach
From: Nottingham

Ethan is entering the villa with confidence, good vibes and absolutely zero fear of stepping into the drama. The Nottingham fitness coach says he's known for lighting up every room he walks into, and he's hoping that same energy will help him find a genuine connection. Unlike some bombshells who arrive with a game plan, Ehan insists he's keeping his options open and wants to get to know everyone before making any big moves. 

Who's still in the Love Island Villa 2026?

Lorenzo:

Love Island contestant Lorenzo

At 28 years old, business owner Lorenzo is swapping boardrooms for the beach as he heads into the Love Island villa this summer. Originally from Hertfordshire, Lorenzo says he knows exactly what he wants when it comes to dating... and honestly? Something tells us he won’t be short of attention once the girls step forward. Tall, confident and clearly not afraid to flirt, we already feel a love triangle brewing here.

Mica:

Love Island contestant Mica

Barbados-born student Mica is bringing glamour, confidence and main-character energy to the villa this summer. And judging by first impressions alone, we have a feeling she won’t struggle for attention once the coupling up begins.

Samraj:

Love Island contestant Samraj

Model Samraj is officially entering the chat, and let’s just say the villa boys may have some competition on their hands. The 25-year-old from Birmingham already looks ready for slow-motion villa entrances and dramatic fire pit moments, and fans are convinced he could become one of this season’s biggest bombshells.

Angelista:

Love Island contestant Angelista

Nurse Angelista is bringing beauty and brains to Love Island 2026. The 24-year-old from Staffordshire says she’s ready to put herself out there and find somebody who can match her energy – and we already know the villa boys are going to be fighting for her attention.

Jasmine:

Love Island Jasmine

Dubai business owner Jasmine is entering the villa with confidence, glam and boss energy. At 27 years old, the fashion entrepreneur already lives a seriously luxurious lifestyle – but could she finally find love in Mallorca too? One thing’s for sure: the outfits are all we will be talking about this season.

Aidan

Love Island contestant Aidan

23-year-old property broker Aidan is ready to swap house deals for heartbreak and hopefully find romance in the Love Island villa.
