Robyn says: “Finding love is my only goal. There may be a little bit of drama but I’m going in there for myself so I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do.

“But I would like to think I’m a girl’s girl and that I handle situations quite well. I’ve got a mature brain.”

Mica, 21, Student, Barbados (Lives in London)

Mica says her type is: “Definitely someone that’s tall, I’m tall myself so I like to feel small.

“I like a little bit of a buffer, a bigger guy. The most important thing for me is personality. I just want someone that will make me laugh. I want to get along with someone.

Lorenzo, 28, Business Owner, Hertfordshire

Asked to describe what turns him off, Lorenzo says: “It’s a major turn off when someone doesn’t have manners.

“I like a little bit of high maintenance when it’s done in the right way but if someone is rude with it and not good fun or good vibes, I’d find that quite irritating.”

Sean, 25, Galway, Primary School Teacher

Sean is a simple man, describing his type on paper as “female” and, when asked about drama in the villa, he said: “I’m here for love but also here for drama. I won’t be getting involved in it, I might be mixing it!”

Ellie, 24, Real Estate Videographer, West Lothian

When asked about her strategy on dating, Ellie said: “Just how I always do, with ease…with confidence.

“There’s nothing else I can do than be me. People love me and if they don’t then they’re clearly not okay. Listen, we’re all there for one reason, but I’m going to get my win.”

Samraj, 25, Model, Birmingham

“Without sounding arrogant, in the outside world I don’t really chase that much, I’m used to girls coming to me,” confident Samraj said. “I know in the Villa it’s a different dynamic.

“In the beginning I’m not going to be pushing myself out there, I’m just gonna watch and see who I like and then go from there.”

Lola, 28, Detective, Kent

Angelista, 24, Nurse, Staffordshire

Samuel, 25, Electrician, Dudley
