Love Island Signs Footballer Ronnie Vint, Friend of Olivia Attwood

Love Island bosses have signed footballer Ronnie Vint for the upcoming series. The 27-year-old, who plays for non-league team Lewes, is a close friend of show icon Olivia Attwood and was best man at her wedding to Bradley Dack last summer.

According to a TV insider, Ronnie has dated a string of reality stars and is now looking to settle down. He is reportedly excited to become a contestant after hearing about the show from Olivia, who will be supporting him throughout.

Ronnie's signing follows the confirmation of other contestants, including Patsy Field, who has Erb's palsy, and model Grace Jackson. The new series of Love Island, hosted by Maya Jama, returns to ITV2 on June 3.
