And he spoke about the possibility of reaching the Casa Amor stage of the show, and how he'd act if he did.
Ben told The Sun and other press: 'If I've got loyalty to a girl, I would do my absolute best to go and sleep outside on my own.
'But if we're kind of 50/50, and there's five new girls coming in, it's going to be hard not to just, you know.
'Basically, I've got to go and say hello, we've got to get to know each other, so at least we'll see when we're there I guess.'
Ben also discussed his villa 'game plan,' adding: 'I'm not going to be afraid to step on anyone's toes.
'I think when you're in there you've got to look out for yourself, and you've got to get what you want in there at the end of the day.
'Everyone's in the same boat, so if it's early days in there and there's a girl I like and I have no loyalties to anyone, it's fair game.'
And he's open to getting down and dirty in the villa - and has even worked out a way to hide his bedroom antics.
About having sex in the villa, Ben said: "I can never say never, you know, you gotta take every day as it comes.
"Who knows if there's a girl and I sharing a bed with and she's sexy, who knows what it's gonna cuddling every night, it could get carried away."
Love rats & machete arrests: Love Island's most DRAMATIC launch ever?!
The 6ft 2ins model from Gloucester teased: "The hideaway is there for the taking as well, so we'll wait and see.
"I've already told my family that I will try and keep it as PG as possible, because I have my niece watching so I do need to make an effort to keep it PG.
"But then again, there's nothing wrong with just putting a quick cover over, so I could just do that and people will think we're just having a quick cuddle, and that that is all it was."
Ben, who is a private hire taxi driver, is a big fan of showing off his six pack in mirror selfies on social media.
In a video on his Star Now modelling page, he said: "My main line of work is modelling, which I've been doing for about five or six years now.
"But when I'm not doing that, my hobbies are either going to the gym or playing football."
Ben already has a connection to the reality TV world, as he is followed on Instagram by Married At First Sight star Lacey Martin.Love Island host Maya Jama will kick off the brand new series on Monday, June 9.

Justin Bieber sparks concern as he steps out with mystery injury
Justin Bieber was spotted with what appeared to by a mystery injury as he took a stroll in Hollywood on Friday, days after his social media actions concerned his fans Justin Bieber sparked concern after being spotted with a potential injury while walking in Hollywood on Friday. The singer, 31, walked the streets wearing an oversized red hoodie and chequered green shorts. The Never Say Never singer completed his mix-and-match outfit choice with a blue snap back cap and light blue sliders. However, it was the appearance of a knee brace that would have concerned his loyal followers. The large black covering was seen protecting his left knee as he took a jaunt without his wife. He appeared to cut a sombre figure in the sunshine as he clung to his mobile phone. Following the images obtained by the Mail, Justin appeared to have removed the knee support for his next social media update. He was seen smiling while wearing a pair of blue leggings. Fans joked he should: "Stop playing and give hailey her leggings back." Another joked: "This is what i wear to Pilates Justin." His latest outing and uploads come as fans begged him to take a break from his social media following his outburst earlier in the week. The dad-of-one, who is married to Hailey Bieber, took to Instagram to voice his thoughts. In the post, which he wrote over a pink background, he shared with his followers: "Telling other humans they deserve something is like raising someone else's kids. Who are you to tell someone what someone should or shouldn't have. The audacity. That's not your place. God decides what we deserve." Fans work quick to share their worries for the star in the comments section of the post. One user penned: "God told me you need a social media break," as over 21,000 fans liked the comment. "Brother didn't you tell your wife she could never be on the cover of vogue??" one person referenced his recent admission about a fight he had with his wife. However, following Justin's comments about his wife's cover story, he backtracked his views. He deleted his scathing caption he wrote under a picture of Hailey's cover of Vogue magazine. He was slammed by fans after he said he told his wife and mum of his son, Jack Blues, that she would never grace the cover of Vogue during a heated argument. He was responding to her cover shot for the US edition of the magazine. And on Instagram, he mused: "Yo, this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight, I told Hails that she would never be on the cover of Vogue. "Yikes, I know, so mean. For some reason because I felt so disrespected, I thought I gotta get even." He continued: "Think as we mature we realise that we're not helping anything by getting even, we're honestly just prolonging what we really want which is intimacy and connection." He concluded by sharing a message directly to Hailey. It read: "So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn't get a Vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken."

Alison wore a huge fake belly under a figure hugging dress as she showcased her moves to Starrkeisha's viral song Baby Mama. The broadcaster, who is already mum to son Aidan, 20, whom she shares with ex-husband, captioned the post: "Lots of AI stories online about me being pregnant. "I can confirm I am not having a baby as I'm not sure my 50 year old womb could take it . "However I do think we should all dance like Meghan!!" Of course, it wasn't long before Alison's followers rushed to post in the comments. One said: "Just another reason to love Alison." Another added: "I love this so much! And double yes to Meghan!." "Such a Queen," said another. While one fan gushed: "YOU ARE AMAZING ALISON X." Alison Hammond shows off 11 stone weight loss in leggings as she hits the gym for gruelling workout Meghan, 43, released the 89-second clip of her and Prince Harry to her three million followers on Instagram after earlier posting unseen photos of her daughter. It showed the heavily pregnant Meghan making rowing movements and shimmying her shoulders beside the hospital bed. Prince Harry also shuffles into view in a hoodie to the strains of then-viral pregnancy hit The Baby Momma Dance. But the clip sparked bizarre claims from conspiracy theorists, who questioned whether the baby bump was real. The wild online speculation cruelly suggested that Meghan wasn't pregnant at all and was in fact wearing a prosthetic pregnant belly or "moonbump".

BREAKING NEWS Love Island USA cast member breaks silence after being kicked off show due to past racist slurs
Axed Love Island USA contestant Yulissa Escobar has broken her silence after being removed from the show over her past use of racist slurs. Escobar, 27, was released from the reality TV show off camera during only the second episode, before the rest of the contestants woke up for the day. Clips of Escobar using the N-word while discussing ex-boyfriends surfaced on Reddit and fans were irate, commenting on her Instagram that they would vote her off at the first opportunity. Now Escobar has taken to Instagram to apologize for using the slurs in a post captioned: 'Owning my mistakes, speaking my truth.' She wrote: 'First, I want to apologize for using a word I had no right in using. 'Podcast clips from years ago have recently resurfaced, and I want to address it directly. 'In those clips, I used a word I never should've used, a racial slur. I used it ignorantly, not fully understanding the weight, history, or pain behind it. I wasn't trying to be offensive or harmful, but I recognize now that intention doesn't excuse impact. And the impact of that word is real. It's tied to generations of trauma, and it is not mine to use. 'At the time, I was speaking casually in conversation, not thinking deeply or critically about what I was saying. But that doesn't take away from how wrong it was. The truth is, I didn't know better then, but I do now. I've taken the time to reflect, to learn, and to grow from that moment. 'I've changed a lot since then, not just in how I speak, but in how I show up, how I carry myself, and how I honor the experiences of others. Growth means recognizing when you were wrong, even if it's uncomfortable, and choosing to move forward with humility and accountability. 'There have also been fake statements circulating, things written or said by others that don't reflect me or my heart. I want to clarify that this is my voice and my words. I don't need anyone to speak for me. I'm choosing to speak for myself because I take full ownership of my actions. Do not listen to the fake statements. This is my official statement. This is me, speaking directly to you. 'To those who are disappointed or offended, I understand and I apologize. 'I am sorry. As the islanders were waking up, the narrator of the show Iain Stirling announced: 'Yulissa has left the villa.' Yulissa was paired up with Ace Greene who is now single following her exit. One comment on the Reddit thread pointed out: 'How [the f***] did producers let this slide? They for SURE saw this.' Another user replied: 'Yeah, if people on this sub can find this in a few days, casting should have DEFINITELY found this. So either they're not looking into people enough or they're choosing to let this stuff slide. Not sure which is worse.' The remaining season seven Islanders include: Chelley Bissainthe, Huda Mustafa, Belle-A Walker, Olandria Carthen, Greene, and Taylor Williams. The comments on Yulissa's Instagram will be a surprise to her when she gets back from Fiji. ''yulissa has left the villa' LMFAOOOO,' one fan wrote, while another expressed,' WE WON SHES GONE!' The strong reaction continued in that theme, with someone else saying: 'Love Island stood on business and I love that.' Just a day before her exit, the budding reality star had been happily promoting the show on her Instagram. In one post, she wrote, 'It's my unapologetic year! And I'm choosing me, every time. Loud, soft, sweet, savage—whatever I feel like being.' In other Love Island-related posts, Yulissa shilled for votes to stay in the Villa. 'Say hello to your newest official islander on Love Island USA Season 7. Straight from Miami and headed to the villa! She's all about kindness, connection, and staying true to who she is,' one post was captioned 'We can't wait for you to get to know her heart, her humor, and everything in between. Make sure you download love island app to vote for Yulissa!' 'Can she see these comments?? Or not yet cause she in the island? Honestly IDC but how hilarious when she comes out thinking she got all these fans but she's getting cancelled,' one person commented on that post. Yulissa isn't the only Love Island USA contestant to face controversy. Season 7 contestant Austin Shepard has faced controversy for liking TikTok content supporting Donald Trump. Unlike Yulissa, Austin has remained in the villa. The remaining female contestants in the villa include Chelley Bissainthe, Huda Mustafa, Belle-A Walker, and Olandria Carthen. The guys vying for love are Ace Greene, Taylor Williams, Nicolas Vansteenberghe and Jeremiah Brown. The show also introduced two early bombshells: Cierra Ortega and Charlie Georgiou. Bombshells are a new Islander who enters the villa with the intention of potentially disrupting existing relationships and forming new ones. "Islanders will couple up to face brand new heart-racing challenges and bigger twists and turns than ever before,' the show's logline reads. The contestants are also vying for a $100,000 prized. On Love Island USA, a spinoff of Love Island UK, singles live together in a villa for about two months and couple up with the islander they are most attracted to.
