Who Is Love Island's Latest Bombshell, Shea Mannings?
Love Island season 12 is well underway, which means the original islanders have been joined by a few bombshells. Just when the new couples start getting to know each other, someone new walks into the villa and everything stands to change.
One of the first bombshells of the series this year is Shea Mannings, who joined the show with Remell Mullins. If Shea's already caught your eye then you've come to the right place to find out more about him. Here's all you need to know...
Shea Mannings is Love Island's latest bombshell. As expected, he's a 6ft 4 gym lover looking to find love in the villa this summer. Shea is also a parent, sharing on Instagram that he has a young son at home.
Prior to entering the villa, he boasted about his womanising skills and even said he could win over host Maya Jama with his flirting. Given that she's loved up with her new boyfriend Manchester City player, Ruben Dias, we don't fancy Shea's chances.
Shea is from Bristol in the West of England.
Shea works as a scaffolder and a semi-professional footballer. His most recent team was Swindon Supermarine FC, who compete in the Southern League Premier Division South. However, he returned to Bristol last season for a stint with Bristol Manor Farm.
Shea claims he is ready to find a more meaningful connection and settle down. When asked about his ideal match, he said: 'She needs to be bubbly and we need to have that initial spark. She needs to have a nice personality - like I think I have - so that we match together. Also, I have a little boy, so I'll be taking him into consideration with who I couple up with, too.'
Does he have any deal breakers? Yes. 'Dirty trainers,' he revealed. 'I can't deal with that.'
Yes! You can keep up with Shea and his endless workout videos on Instagram at @
Love Island continues everyday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX, except Saturdays.
