Konnor Ewudzi Interview
Age: 30
Series 11 Islander
Why do you want to come back to Love Island?
It’s another opportunity to find somebody; I didn’t find a girl the first time round so it’s a great chance to try again.
How will you approach it differently?
My approach will be the same, I just home I can find a girl that can match my energy.
What personal growth are you hoping the audience sees this time?
Because I didn’t really have a serious connection with anyone before, hopefully this time I’ll be able to find a connection and people can see my personality more.
What’s been going on in your dating life/life in general since we last saw you?
I turned 30 in November so my friends around me are getting engaged, having kids and I’m wondering, ‘When is it my turn?’
What do you think works about Love Island to meet someone?
It can work because couples are still together from previous series. Everything is heightened in there; a week is like a month, you spend that much time together so it really enhances things.
Are you looking forward to being in South Africa?
I’ve never been but I have family there so it will be really exciting, though they won’t be able to see me, I’m sure they’ll be surprised when they find out!

AJ Bunker Interview
Age: 33
Series 7 Islander
Why do you want to come back to Love Island?
I’ve been single a while so I’m really excited to go in and hopefully find a romantic connection with someone.
How will you approach it differently/ what will you still do the same?
I just want to not be so in my shell. My friends and family watching knew it wasn’t me and I was being reserved. There were times during my previous series where I should have spoken up and said ‘That’s not ok’ – I was putting my own feelings aside.
Are you hoping to prove anyone wrong about something?
I’d like to show people that I’m not a doormat, I’m a girls’ girl but maybe I need to put myself first more. Since I started boxing I’ve become more resilient, too.
What can viewers expect from you this time?
I’m going to be unapologetically me and if they don’t like it, they can deal with it. I think people will be shocked because I’m quite chatty and fun!

Samie Elishi Interview
Age: 25
Series 9 & All Stars Series 2 Islander
Why do you want to come back to Love Island?
I feel like my last time in the All Stars Villa, I didn’t get a fair shot and it’s such an amazing experience so if I can do it one more time, why not?
What personal growth are you hoping the audience see this time?
I’ve grown up so much since Series 9 and my last time on All Stars you didn’t get to really see that. I want the audience to see how much I’ve grown and hopefully actually see me in a nice situation, coupled up with someone.
What can viewers expect from you this time?
A lot of honesty, laughing a lot and having fun.
