LOVE Island 2024 is set to take over our summer, with more drama and romance in store for the Islanders.
As the launch night approaches, The Sun exclusively revealed how footy ace Ronnie Vint will be going into the famous villa.
Who is Ronnie Vint?
Born on July 17, 1996, Ronnie Vint is a 27-year-old footballer.
The defender plays for Lewes FC in East Sussex.
Away from the pitch, he has an army of followers on Instagram.
Ronnie shares professional snaps of his action on the pitch online, as well as holiday photos.
When asked about why he’s single and what he’s looking for in a partner, Ronnie said: “I’ve had two serious relationships in the past, but more recently have enjoyed being single and doing my own thing as I’ve been focussed on my football career.
“I’ve got to the age where I want to find the right person I can build a life with.
“I want someone that’s family orientated, caring and career minded.
“Lookwise, I like blondes with nice boobs but am partial to a brunette too.”
How does Ronnie Vint know Olivia Attwood?
Ronnie is very good friends with one of Love Island‘s most iconic Islanders, Olivia Attwood.
This is because he has been pals with her husband Bradley Dack for years.
A source told The Sun: “Ronnie is the total package and ticks every single box for Love Island bosses.
“He’s good-looking with a great body, has top chat and even has links to former show legends.
“Fans are still obsessed with Olivia and now Bradley too thanks to their ITV reality spin-off Olivia Meets Her Match.
“This is an amazing way to keep those OG fans in the loop while introducing them to hot new singles.”
The trio are so close that Ronnie was at Olivia and Brad’s showbiz wedding.
How to watch Love Island
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.”
