Medhy, 24, is an American Football player and model from Belgium, but he now lives in Luton.

Speaking about his job, Medhy said: "I’ve always been an athlete and been into sports. My whole family is into sports. Modelling just came about, I never wanted to model but people said I should try it and that it could go hand-in-hand with sports. I thought ‘Why not? Give it a try.’"

And opening up on his decision to sign up for Love Island, Medhy added: "I’ve been single for 4 years and I love a good challenge. I love temptation so I thought why not?"

Who has Medhy got his eye on in the villa?

Medhy has revealed that he has his eye Kaz and Millie, saying: "Definitely Kaz. Kaz’s personality is fiery, she’s got energy, she’s funny and she’s got a beautiful smile and she’s a nice girl in general. And Millie seems like a nice girl and she’s obviously good looking as well."
