Toby’s reason for going on the hit dating show is that he’s never been in a relationship. He said: “If Love Island can’t find me a relationship then no one can.”

Love Island posted a photo of Toby on their Instagram with the caption: "Footballer Toby has been single his whole life, but will he find a keeper this summer?"
