Love Island is back, but this time it isn’t celebrities hoping to meet Mr Right – a handful of non-famous women will be thrown together with a group of completely un-starry men to see if they can find a match made in Mallorca.

The group of contestants contestants will move into a villa together for the summer and sent packing until just two remain by the end of the series, a pair who will hopefully be a happy couple by then.

Let’s see who is following in the footsteps of past celebrity winners Jayne Middlemiss and Biance Gascoigne by joining Love Island.

Okay, not everyone involved has led a life away from the cameras – Rachel is Linford Christie’s niece and the first black woman to be crowned Miss England.

She said: “I’m a single mum and I never get out and meet anyone these days! I have a gorgeous four-year-old boy but I knew when I was five months pregnant that I was going to have to do it on my own. Dating is really tricky when you’ve got a kid! I don’t meet anyone.”

Umm… This one might have a little experience in the fame department, too. She was the blonde who engaged Zayn Malik was pictured with in Thailand shortly before quitting One Direction.

High fashion model Zosia has recently become a born again Christian and reckons she’s keen not to embarrass her priest or her mum on the island.

She said: “I’m a Christian and that is the number one thing in my life, so I can turn the other cheek. I started going to church two years ago. It’s the opposite to fashion and I love it because everyone is so nice. I’m not going to start giving sermons on the island, but it’s a big part of me.”

Hannah is a Playboy Bunny, so she’s spent time hanging out with Hugh Hefner at the Playboy Mansion which means she’s used to sunshine, luxury and lounging around.

She said: “People think the mansion is a sexy place, but it’s nothing like that now. It’s like a little family and Heff is the sweetest man. He’s like your lovely little granddad. I’m a (boxing) ring girl on Sky Sports as well.”

Posh girl Danielle works in a private members club and likes to party with the Chelsea set, but says she struggles to meet potential dates.

She said: “I don’t really like dating. I’m a bit sick of the same old questions ‐ when someone asks where I’m from, I never know whether that means where I grew up or where I live.”

The Gloucestershire model has been single for two years and describes Pamela Anderson and Megan Fox as her idols.

She said: “I’m very real and straight to the point. I think I’ve got good banter and I can be a bit mad at times, which I suppose makes me entertaining.

“Obviously I want to meet a man and hopefully a relationship will come from it, but if not it will be great to meet new people and just have a really great time.”
