Love Island star Liam Llewellyn underwent an impressive body transformation prior to entering the villa.
The 22-year-old is amongst those confirmed for this year’s highly anticipated eighth season and will be heading into the villa when the new series kicks off on Monday, June 6.
Liam, from Newport, Wales, gave fans a glimpse into how he prepared for a summer on the hit ITV2 dating show by sharing a year-long transformation snap – with incredible results.
After spending a summer in America, the masters student revealed his training and nutrition went “completely out the window” and decided to hit the gym hard to achieve the results he wanted.
He also confessed he made specific changes which allowed him to succeed in his goals, despite the challenges of finishing University and living through Covid-19 at the time.

“A year ago I returned from a summer in America (hence the long hair & wicked tan). 3 months on the move meant my training and nutrition went completely out the window. This resulted in major weight and muscle loss.”
The Welsh hunk added: “Once returning, my main goal was to gain strength and muscle mass. With a switch in training & nutrition I’m happy with where I’m at, despite COVID-19 & finishing uni.”
“This year my aim is to build on my knowledge in training & nutrition through a masters in Strength & Conditioning to enable me to turn my passion into a career. Looking forward to what’s to come,” he concluded.

Liam is no stranger to showing off his enviable physique to his followers as his Instagram page is littered with shirtless snaps.
During his trip to America, the Welsh lad stopped by some tourist hot spots and shared a shot of himself stood in front of the infamous Hollywood sign.
The upcoming reality star donned a pair of black shorts, a black cap, and teamed the casual look with a pair of nike trainers.
Liam decided to go shirtless for the sizzling snap, flashing his rippling arms and muscular back in the frame.

Glistening underneath the Spanish sun, Liam drew attention to his tanned torso and highlighted his enviably muscular chest.

Liam will be spending plenty of time with his gym-honed physique on display as he prepares to enter the Love Island villa in a few days time.

“I think 22 is a really nice age to meet someone, you’ve got your years ahead of you so you have time to experience stuff and grow together,” he said.
The student went on to say he finds it difficult to hide how he feels about someone because he is “quite emotional” as a person.
He quipped: “I wear my heart on my sleeve, I can’t hide how I feel about anyone. I’m probably quite emotional as well come to think about it.”
