Love Island: Absolutely Everything We Know About Boris Vidovic

Casa Amor is upon us, the annual time when the established Love Island couples get tested with the arrival of a whole new batch of singletons. It's a time they probably all dread, but we can't deny it makes for great TV for all of us watching at home. And with this season 12 of Love Island already being one of the most explosive series yet, we can't wait to see what's in store.
The new arrival of boys and girls landed on our screens in last night's episode, and have already got the internet talking. One of the new singletons who isn't afraid to turn things on their head is Boris Vidovic - particularly given what he's said about finding love on TV before.
Boris Vidovic is one of the six new boys entering the villa. The boys will head to the main villa, while the new batch of girls will shake things up in Casa Amor. Boris is a model, who lives between Ljubljana and Dubai - and he can speak five languages. Speaking to ITV ahead of the show, Boris says he knows 'Slovenian, Croatian, English, Spanish and a bit of German. Actually maybe six, the language of love!'
When asked what he was looking for in a partner on Love Island, Boris kept his answer pretty open ended. 'I don't have an exact type, if her energy matches my energy, that's what I like. Besides that; a beautiful smile, a nice figure, and a great personality. I want someone around me that I can laugh with 24/7. If she can roast me, I love her already!' he said.
Boris is 28 years old. This means he is one of the older guys in the villa, and he's the same age as Billykiss.
Like fellow Love Island newbie Cash, this isn't Boris' first stint at reality TV. Last year, he took part in a Slovenian reality series Kmetija, translated as The Farm. The show follows contestants while they live on a farm without modern amenities like running water, bathrooms, or internet.
Oddly on that show, he admitted to 24UR that he 'doesn't believe in finding love on TV' - but it seems he thinks differently this time around.
During his appearance on the show, he also described himself as 'communicative' and someone who 'swears by positive energy and laughter.'
In an interview with ITV before he went on Love Island, Boris said he was going to 'have to be the bad guy' as that's 'the game.' He continued: 'If I'm going in and there's someone beautiful waiting for me inside, I'm going to approach them for sure.'
As for who he's got his eye on? 'I'm super attracted to Shakira, I think she's got a great personality and seems like a good girl,' he said. 'I'm sure we'd get along well and have a good time together, but I need to see in person, it's all about energy.'
Yes, like many of the islanders Boris is on Instagram! You can keep up to date with his life at the handle @sportyris.
