Love Island's Dejon: Everything to know about the new Islander from famous dad to football career
It's time! Our favourite season is about to kick off, get ready for a summer of cracking on, eggs in multiple baskets and rapping to lift the mood - Love Island is here! Earlier today ahead of the series launch next week, ITV revealed the full list of the first 12 Islanders who will be making their way into the Spanish villa, looking for a summer of love. And amongst the 12 Islanders, one of the first to be introduced is Dejon. So what is there to know about Dejon? Consider this your essential fact file on the nepo baby Islander. Dejon is 26 years old. Dejon is from London. Dejon is a personal trainer and already has one very famous former Love Island client, as he's recently been training Tyrique Hyde from season 10. And not one to just sit and watch his clients train, Dejon recently completed his first Hyrox competition, taking part in the recent Barcelona race in a mixed doubles. Ahead of going into the villa Dejon told ITV he was looking to couple up with someone who is "beautiful on the inside and out, looks after themselves and is healthy." Nepo baby alert! Dejon is the son of famous footballer Gifton Noel-Williams. Gifton has played for teams such as Watford and Real Murcia, before moving into coaching. Through his dad Dejon is already accustomed to the life of fame Love Island can bring, telling ITV he's already met David Beckham. "My dad being an ex-professional footballer, I've met all kinds of famous people through him," he explained. "When I was younger it was weird because he was just my dad, but we'd go to a game and fans were asking for photos. I've met David Beckham, he was really nice. And following in his dad's footsteps Dejon has also played football in a number of teams including Oxford United and Slough Town. He's also played for the national team of Grenada.
