He said: "Yeah, I worked at Eugenie and Beatrice’s over the summer. I hosted and chatted. It was nice and intimate.

"Everyone’s chill. In my job you meet a lot of famous people… unless you’re Beyonce, I’m not really interested."

He decided to apply for Love Island 2021 after getting frustrated with dating during the coronavirus pandemic.

Aaron said: "I’ve been single for about six or seven months and the dating world at the moment is a little bit off.

"Everyone’s wearing masks. You can’t really see anyone which makes dating a lot harder. I do prefer relationships than dating."

Speaking about what he's looking for in his next partner in the villa Aaron said he needed someone "passionate".

He said: "I need someone that is passionate about what they are doing - from scientist to anything - you can tell when someone is speaking about something and they are actually smiling while they are talking. I love that.

"I don’t like when people are doing a job just to make money and then they kind of just live for the weekend. Especially because I work on the weekends."

*Love Island starts at 9pm Monday 28th June on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox
