    The time has finally come: Love Island is back next week!

    ITV

    If you're wondering who will be competing this year, look no further! Here are the super-hot singletons who'll be getting it on in the villa this year:

    1. Paige Thorne

    ITV / Via Instagram: @paigethornex

    Age: 24

    From: Swansea

    Paige is a paramedic and has decided to broaden her potential dating pool after finding little luck in her hometown. According to Paige, she's such a good cook that she reckons Gordon Ramsay would rate her roast potatoes a 10/10 — let's hope she can serve up some romance in the villa!

    Follow her on Instagram.

    2. Dami Hope

    ITV / Via Instagram: @damihope

    Age: 26

    From: Dublin

    Senior microbiologist Dami is swapping the lab for the villa, and he's open to whatever the experience will bring. Dami's an Aries, which says it all, really. When it comes to romance, we can expect lots of passion, but we'll have to wait and see if he has that signature Aries loyalty.

    3. Indiyah Polack

    ITV / Via Instagram: @1ndiyah

    Age: 23

    From: London

    Hotel waiter and model Indiyah has opted for Love Island because she's ready to build a real connection without the influence of social media. She sums up her dating history as "random" — all of the guys she's dated have been quite different, so we'll have to see if her head will be turned as things heat up.

    Follow her on Instagram.

    4. Liam Llewellyn

    ITV / Via Instagram: @liamllew_

    Age: 22

    From: Newport

    Liam's studying for a master's in strength and conditioning and wears his heart on his sleeve, so hopefully he can make some strong bonds in the villa. When it comes to the ladies, he doesn't just go for plain old compliments. According to Liam, "You’ve got nice feet” is something he might whip out to impress that special someone.

    5. Tasha Ghouri

    ITV / Via Instagram: @tashaghouri

    Age: 23

    From: Thirsk

    Tasha's very ready to find "the one". According to the model and dancer, her dating life has been a shambles, so it's not a surprise that she's confessed she's prepared to step on toes (in the nicest way possible!) to find her man. Tasha's made Love Island history as the show's first deaf contestant, and we love to see the representation.

    6. Davide Sanclimenti

    ITV / Via Instagram: @davidesancli

    Age: 27

    From: Rome (but lives in Manchester)

    Business owner Davide has decided to take on the villa after moving to the UK and realising that the ladies love him. He's a romantic guy who says he's looking for someone to spend the rest of his life with, so let's hope his soulmate is somewhere here in the lineup.

    7. Gemma Owen

    ITV / Via Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/gemowendressage_/?hl=en

    Age: 19

    From: Chester

    Young Gemma lives life to the fullest and wants to have a really fun summer, so she's headed to the right place. Gemma's big on sport — she's travelled the world competing in dressage for GB, and she's the daughter of THE Michael Owen, so we can expect to see a competitive streak when it comes to love.

    Follow her on Instagram.

    8. Ikenna Ekwonna

    ITV / Via Instagram: @ikenna._

    Age: 23

    From: Nottingham

    Ikenna's only been in one relationship, and he's decided to turn to Love Island to find that special someone. He may not have the most dating experience, but he's a serious romantic: He treated his ex to a surprise birthday trip to Barcelona, so I bet we'll see some grand gestures in the villa!

    Follow him on Instagram.

    9. Andrew Le Page

    ITV / Via Instagram: @andrewlepage

    Age: 27

    From: Guernsey/Dubai

    Andrew's all about catching flights, not feelings — his most recent relationship ended because he moved to Dubai, where he works as a real estate agent. He's not keen on doing long-distance, so we'll have to see if he'll build the foundations of something serious in the villa.

    Follow him on Instagram.

    10. Amber Beckford

    ITV / Via Instagram: @amberbeckford

    Age: 24

    From: London

    When Love Island has an Amber in the lineup, you know it's gonna be a good year. Amber's a nanny, but she's already said that she has no patience when it comes to adults. Opinionated Amber can't stand guys who are flashy show-offs and is all about the personality, and something tells us she's gonna keep the lads on their toes.

    11. Luca Bish

    ITV / Via Instagram: @lucabish

    Age: 23

    From: Brighton

    Luca's looking for a special someone who likes a laugh, and judging from his go-to pickup line — “Do you like raisins? How do you feel about a date, though?” — our money's on him being the villa's joker this year. Luca's a fishmonger, so let's see if the ladies think he's the perfect catch!

    Follow him on Instagram.

    And we couldn't talk about the lineup without mentioning the brand-new villa — look at all this bedroom space!

    And this year, the lucky islanders have an infinity pool!

    I wonder if they're still taking applicants for last-minute additions...
