Love Island ‘signs up’ gorgeous model with surprising link to former contestant

Love Island has signed a beautiful model linked to a former Islander, reports claim.

The 11th series of Love Island is kicking off on Monday 3 June with a brand new batch of bombshells in sunny Majorca. There they’ll crack on and try to find love, and also hope to scoop up the £50,000 cash prize.

The full lineup is set to be unveiled on Monday 27 May, but one rumoured contestant is stunning Welsh model Nicole Samuel. At age 23, Nicole is not just a model but also holds a job as an account manager in Aberdare, Wales.

Former Love Island star Scott Van Der Sluis seems to already be a fan of Nicole. The footballer who appeared on last year’s series follows her on social media, suggesting he knows her.

Scott, who traded his football boots for the glitz of reality TV shared during last year’s show, said: “Football is all I’ve ever done, all I’ve ever known. So this is a new and exciting opportunity for a change up in life.”

Scott’s entry to the villa was as a thrilling “bombshell” on day 11, and his journey ended on day 52. He later appeared on Love Island USA and the spin-off Love Island Games.

The new series is set to sizzle onto screens on 3 June at 9pm, available across the ITV network including ITV1, ITV2, ITVX, STV, and STV Player, before settling into its regular spot on ITV2.

The much-loved companion series Aftersun returns too, with the fabulous Maya Jama hosting a weekly panel to dissect the latest Love Island gossip.
