Joining the Love Island villa with three other bombshells is fitness fanatic Will Means. He enters the villa during a particularly tense period when Megan is turning her head, Shakira and Toni have fallen out with Emily and Harry changes his mind every five minutes.
With this season promised as the 'most explosive' in years, and plenty of rule changes already in action, the bombshells have a lot of work to do to make an impact. Here's everything you need to know about new boy, Will.
Will is a personal trainer from Norfolk hoping to find love on the ITV dating show this summer.
Prior to entering the Love Island villa Will said, 'I'm excited and looking forward to getting in there and speaking to the girls. It's the chance to meet a soulmate, which would be great.'
Will's usual type is 'sporty' and 'up for a laugh'. He likes someone who doesn't take life too seriously, but is still driven and wants to do things.
Will's biggest red flag is arrogance. 'I like to share the conversation across the room,' he explained. 'If it's all about them, they're probably not for me.'
As for his green flags, Will is looking for someone 'nice' and 'polite', which doesn't sound like too tall an order. 'I'm quite family-oriented,' he continued, 'so if they are as well that would be great. Nice to look at helps and someone who is up for a laugh.'
Will knows 'you have to stir the pot a bit' and he isn't going on the show to make friends. He's admitted he's not afraid of breaking up other couples.
Aside from the girls, he's got his eye on Conor and Tommy as potential friends, noting that they both seem chilled and that Conor shares his love of sports.
A cursory glance at Will's social media and you will see he takes fitness very seriously. In fact, he was voted the 4th fittest farmer by Farmers' Weekly in 2023, having grown up on a farm, which will no doubt earn him comparisons with the last farmer called Will to go on Love Island , Will Young, who was on season nine.
'4th in the UK is quite cool,' he noted. 'I think about 5,000 entered. It raises awareness for mental health as well and helps build a community among young farmers who spend a lot of time in tractors on their own.'
He is also very into Hyrox and came 35th in the recent World Championships. As well as meeting the love of his life, Will hopes to complete an Iron Man this year too.
Yes, Will can be found on Instagram at @willmeanss. As this article might have given away already, lots of his posts are about health and fitness.
