This year's plucky Love Island contestants have been posing up a storm ahead of their summer of romance in the ITV2 villa.
Looking primped and preened in the swimwear, the 11 islanders have been unleashed to the public for the first time in their glossy publicity shots.
While we are still just days from the very first coupling up of 2021, body language expert Judi James has cast an expert eye on this year's line-up and revealed just who we should be watching out for.
Judi predicts that Only Fans star Shannon Singh is exuding all the confidence needed to make her one of the biggest heartbreakers in the villa.
While water engineer Jake Cornish looks like he could spell trouble as the group's alpha male, predicts Judi.
Ahead of the show launch on Monday 28th June, here's Judi's run down on what the contestants are revealing about themselves before they've even graced our screens...
Shannon Singh
She could be a real favourite with the guys on the Island as she has the most engaging eye contact and the most flirty smile, with the dipped chin and rounded cheeks creating the kind of sexy tie-signs that could have her picking the guys off one at a time.
Her torso pose here looks slightly awkward here and the way she’s crossed one leg in front of her body in a barrier gesture suggests she might also have a rather private or self-protective side when it comes to genuine emotions. So although she might play with the guys she might be very careful about picking and trusting ‘the one’.
Liberty Poole
Liberty’s pose suggests a strong mix of sexy and innocent or cute, which is normally a great combo to adopt on the Island as it makes the guys think they’ve found the sweetest girl of their dreams. Her chin is dipped, her back is arched and her legs are crossed at the ankle in a rather child-like, submissive pose.
The way she’s placed her hands on her hips and splayed her elbows suggests she might have a more shrewd and assertive side, though. As a waitress she should be good at sizing guys up and dealing with the trouble-makers!
Sharon Gaffka
Sharon looks like the ‘individual’ one in the group, which has been a vote-winner in previous years. She’s got the least glamour-model-looking pose and the one raised brow and slightly clenched-teeth smile could make her the one the viewers identify with. Her job suggests she should be smart and she might bring a different take on Island life.
Kaz Kamwi
There’s some intriguing mixed messages coming from Kaz. Her wide mouth-smile suggest she’ll be popular with the girl group as someone who might speak their mind and project a sense of loyalty. Her body-confidence looks high too as she’s adopted the most relaxed pose and doesn’t seem to be trying too hard.
But there’s also something sweet about her eye expression, suggesting she could be a mix of feisty party girl and warm/thoughtful.
Chloe Burrows
Chloe looks like one of the two most ‘grown-up’ islanders and her trait of stretching one leg out and angling her hip suggests she’s going to be angling for maximum screen time. Her smile is wide but there is something incongruent about her eye expression. She seems to be oozing body confidence and keen to make her mark but there’s a suggestion she might previously have had a few heartbreaks in her romantic life, suggesting she might be a mix of cynical and vulnerable when it comes to finding a partner in there.
Faye Winter
Her thigh-holding pose and her more measured, open-mouthed smile suggests Faye might be pitching herself as the queen bee of the island. Her pose looks the most self-aware and it might take her the longest to drop the ‘Selling Sunset’ vibe and get stuck into the fun and the action. Her guard might take the longest to be lowered but she’s been very emphatically posed to look like the star of this group photo so she could be the one we will all be talking about in a couple of week’s time.
Brad McClelland
Definitely the one to watch as he has that blend of fit body and sweet, boyish, innocent-looking facial expression that has tended to get even the most cynical girls to drop their guard in previous series with disastrous consequences. His lounge/lean pose looks relaxed and he should be a popular member of the man club. But will he be causing long-term upset amongst the women?
Aaron Francis
Another guy wearing a sweet, open ‘don’t break my heart please’ facial expression that should help him get under the radar with the girls in terms of trust. That lounging body pose and leg splay suggests he’s got loads of sexual confidence though and his career in events planning means he should be loaded with charm and the gift of the gab.
Jake Cornish
Jake’s pose here suggests he’s leaping off the page in a bid to get our attention and charm his way into the viewers’ hearts and a position in the final. He’s the only guy here who is leaning forward, with that very direct stare at the camera suggesting he can’t wait to get into the villa and start showing off those biceps and all the tattoos. He’s looking like the strongest male character in this group pose and the one who is most raring to go.
Toby Aromolaran
His relaxed shoulders, torso and leg positioning reflects his sporting day job that has given his body language ideal levels of relaxed confidence but without any show of vanity or arrogance. His air of positivity should make him popular with the girls and the guy on the island and his symmetric smile should lead the girls to trust him as a partner. He looks as though he might be rather quiet though, which could make him a slow-burner in terms of grabbing the plotlines and drama unless he speedily pairs off with one of the more extrovert girls.
Hugo Hammond
He might be a teacher but his upright stretched neck, wide-eyed smile and rather stylish hand positioning make him look more like an actor, which should be a useful talent in the villa. His eye expression suggests he’s sharing a joke with the viewers, meaning he might be the guy in there with the kind of sense of humour that will be keeping us entertained once the tans and the perfect bods have started to get a bit boring. Hopefully he will be the one who won’t be taking himself too seriously, which should make him popular with the viewers.
