Leading the pack is Patsy, 29, who is the latest contestant with a disability to join the lineup and is raring to meet the love of her life.

The influencer and office administrator has Erb's palsy after Lewisham hospital made a crucial error during her birth, leaving her with the disability.

Patsy has told how she should have been born via cesarean, but doctors made the decision for her to be delivered naturally, resulting in a defect, which she has had to overcome her entire life.

The condition means her right arm is shorter in length and unable to function as well as her left, with Patsy admitting she has felt 'self-conscious' but learned to embrace it throughout adulthood.

Speaking about the condition, she said: 'It doesn't define who I am, but it makes me a little different, although I’ve learnt to get on with it and it’s never held me back.'

Explaining why she had decided this was the year to sign up for Love Island, she said: 'I’m finally ready to find a sexy man and I think Love Island may just have some nice hunky guys for me. 

'I think now is the right time as I’ve got a few greys so I need to bag a man sooner rather than later.'

Patsy's loved ones are already predicting that she'll cause fireworks in the villa, as she admitted: 'My friends would say that I’m the loudest person in the group, I’m the one who’s always up for doing a dare, they’d say I was the life and soul of the party.

'My family would say that I’m bossy and that it’s always my way or the highway, they’d say I rule the roost.'

'I like dressing up so I’ll bring style, and I’d like to think I’m quite funny so I’ll make people laugh. 

'Bringing honesty as well - I’m good at picking up on people's personality traits and side-eyeing those who might be a liar.'

Jess, 25, comes from Stockport and describes herself as a travel junkie who is 'happiest in the sun'.

The soon-to-be reality star's Instagram is full of snaps from her recent holidays to exotic far-flung destinations, such as Bali, Vietnam and Thailand. 

She says she is ready for love because she wants to enjoy all of the couple activities her friendship group does.

Jess explained: 'All my friends are in relationships, settled down with babies and I’m going to end up that aunt that rocks up at family parties and they say "she's still not met someone, she’s still going to Ibiza having a midlife crisis." I just want to meet somebody and to be able to do all of that stuff too.'

But she admitted that she has high standards for herself and that her extrovert personality can intimidate some men.

She said: 'I think I’m single because I don’t underestimate the fact that I’m hard work. I know what I want and I'm not easily pleased. 

'When you’re a loud, outgoing woman, sometimes it can intimidate men - men don’t always want that. 

'I think that can sometimes put people off me because I am quite loud and you can hear me before you see me. Some men love that though.'

As for what she loves in a man, Jess has a strict type on paper, saying: 'I would say nice teeth, I love a set of white Turkey teeth but a good set of Turkey teeth. 

'I would say personality traits, you have to be family orientated. I’m so close to my mum and I’d like my future partner to be really close with their family too. 

'You have to be tall, you can’t be shorter than me, I can't be having to question whether I can wear heels around you and what height of heels I can wear. If you’re vertically challenged, it’s not for me.'

She also has a secret talent as a professional dancer, revealing: 'I became a world champion dancer in 2011, not many people know that. I was a professional street dancer.'

And despite going in to meet a host of potential suitors, Nicole admits that she has enjoyed playing the field as a singleton. 

She said: 'I’ve been enjoying single life and the attention of different boys, it’s fun. I’ve enjoyed being able to go on holiday with the girls and not having to worry about someone back home. 

'All the girls are there texting in their room and I’m out till 4 in the morning living my best life.'

And she may already have insight into villa life, as Nicole counts Love Island's Scott van-deer-Sluis as an Instagram follower and is reportedly pals with former Casa Amor star Bayley Mummery.

While any girls with a sweet tooth will no doubt be a fan of Sean, 24, who has his own online sweets business which he launched during lockdown.

Accounts for the company show he had £5,000 in the year, so a turn in the villa could see business boom. 

Hailing from Hertford, Sean listed the reasons why he's a catch as: '5’11, tall, dark and handsome. Not quite 6 foot. Great smile, great teeth, great arms and abs - the full package.'

While he said his friends and family would describe him as 'very loving, caring and thoughtful' adding: 'I’m the kind of guy that if you broke down on the motorway and needed your tyre changed, I’d be there at any time of night.'

Sean explained that he is joining Love Island in a bid to find 'The One', saying it's the right time for him to get serious.

He said: 'I’ve always been one for relationships and when you have found someone you want to be with it’s the best feeling. Now is the perfect time, the one thing that is missing is my soulmate.'

Ahead of his confirmation on the lineup, one of his pals told The Sun: 'He’s not had a lot of luck in love but wants to settle down. He knows going into the villa will help him meet someone.'

The summer series follows Love Island: All Stars, where Molly Smith and Tom Clare, whose relationship is still going strong, were crowned the winners.  

Since earning the title, Molly has secured lucrative deals with jewellery brand Abbott Lyon, fashion giant boohoo, and US fitness supplements Alani Nu.

The last summer series was won by Jess Harding and Sammy Root, but the couple split soon after scooping the £50,000 prize. 

Jess is in a new relationship with a man she has kept private while Sammy has started to film scenes with the cast of TOWIE

This year, Islanders starring on the show will continue to keep their Instagram pages 'dormant' to protect their mental health, as well as the well-being of their friends and family.

In previous years, contestants have suffered at the hands of trolling, with negativity consuming their profiles, to the detriment of their loved ones who the hate was directed to in their absence.

ITV will also launch the dating show simultaneously across ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX for the first time ever. It will continue on ITV2 and ITVX for the rest of the series. 

The channel used a similar launch strategy for Big Brother when it was rebooted last October which achieved an impressive 2.5million overnight viewers.

A source told The Sun of the change to launch night: 'ITV want to throw their weight behind Love Island and make sure it has a big, glitzy moment when the 11th series kicks off next month.

'Showing it across every channel means creating what they hope will be a big TV moment. It shows there is still a real commitment to the format even nine years on.

'Using the full might of ITV means reaching every demographic, including the crucial 16-34s.' 

Show bosses will no doubt be hoping the programme is a bigger hit with viewers than the Love Island: All Stars spin-off that aired earlier this year. 

While the series was the biggest digital programme of the year to date, it failed to pull in the viewing figures of its glory days. 

The reality show received the lowest ever ratings for a Love Island final, with only 1 million viewers tuning in live for the grand finale making it the least watched final since series one in 2015.

Back in 2018, 3.6 million tuned in as Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham bagged the £50,000 followed by Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea who secured the highest rating ever for a final with 3.7 million. 

Meanwhile, Love Island: Aftersun will also return to screens live from London every Sunday on ITV2 and ITVX hosted by Maya alongside an array of regular panellists.

Sam Thompson and Indiyah Polack will resume their roles joined by new panellists Amy Hart, Chris Taylor and Jordan Stephens as they join celebrity guests to discuss all the goings on from the Villa this summer.
