Love Island Summer 2023’s first potential contestant revealed

Love Island bosses announced last year that 2023 will have two editions of the hit ITV’s dating reality show. The Winter series - that saw Sanam Harrinanan win the show - ended in March and ever since then show bosses are busy bringing the classic summer version back.

The summer series is expected to start on June 5 and the villa is already under construction with new features and improvements.

Love Island Summer series' first potential contestant

According to The Mirror, the first contestant is understood to be economics graduate Andre Furtado. The 21-year-old hails from Dudley and is a clothing brand entrepreneur. The potential Love Island contestant has over 17,000 followers on Instagram and co-founded a fashion line called Social Kids.

A source claimed:

Andre is the perfect Love Island signing… he's cool, calm, collected, and ready to mingle.

He knows himself but without being arrogant and producers are hoping his intellect, as well as his creativity and handsome looks, will make him a favourite among the females.

Love Island Summer 2023 villa

This comes after a first look at the new summer villa was revealed by The Mirror. The new villa will have a new fire pit and swimming pool as builders were recently seen working on the Spanish property.

A new deck is also being laid around the swimming pool as a brand new firepit aka the dumping and recoupling base is underway. The outside kitchen to make breakfast is also undergoing construction.

Executive Producer Mike Spencer revealed:

They looked at quite a few villas and this was by far the best.

The view is beautiful, we want people to tune in and say this is Love Island but it’s had a glow-up.

It’s slightly bigger, it’s a similar pool size, but the space around it is bigger.
