LOVE Island 2024 is just around the corner, with a new batch of contestants hoping to find love and take home the £50K prize.
Here we get to know Munveer Jabbal, who has been confirmed as one of the Islanders.
Who is Love Island 2024 contestant Munveer Jabbal?
Every year Love Island welcomes a fresh batch of sexy singletons who are all hoping to find fame, fortune and romance in the Love Island villa.
Thousands upon thousands of hopefuls apply, but only a select handful make it to Majorca— and Munveer is one of the lucky few.
When asked why he chose to apply for Love Island now, Munveer said: “London dating hasn’t worked out for me.
“The opportunity to be surrounded by good looking people in a villa under the sun is an absolute no brainer!
“I’m 30 years old and I need to start thinking seriously about the next step, and what better place.”
And on why he thinks he’s single, Munveer explained: “I haven’t found the right girl, I’m quite picky and have high standards.
“Dating in London is horrible. You don’t know who’s single… but now you’re putting me in a place where everyone’s single, so there’s no issues around that.”
What does Munveer Jabbal do for a living?
Munveer is a talent recruitment manager at Bain & Company, according to his LinkedIn profile.
He has worked in this role since November 2021.
Munveer describes himself as a “niche recruitment specialist” focusing on data analytics and information/cyber security.
He writes: “I pride myself on a first rate service to my clients & candidates which comes from a genuine passion and complete immersion within these fields.”
When is Munveer Jabbal appearing on Love Island?
Munveer is heading into the Love Island villa for season 11, which kicks off on June 3, 2024.
He will be joined by nine other singletons all looking for a steamy summer of love.
As the weeks go on, the original cast will be joined by more bombshells.
The Sun revealed how the famous villa has gone through a glam makeover in time for the new series.
How to watch Love Island 2024?
The launch show will start at 9pm on ITV2 on June 3, 2024.
Episodes will then continue at the same time from Sunday to Friday.
On Saturdays a highlights show is aired instead of the main programme.
The Sun previously revealed how Love Island bosses are planning a huge shake-up for the launch night.
ITV is going to air the dating show simultaneously across ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX for the first time.
A source said: “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.”
