Who is Love Island's new boy Brett Staniland

Love Island shocked the islanders by introducing a new boy at the end of Tuesday's show.

Chloe Burrows and Priya Gopaldas were up on the balcony when they heard new boy Brett Staniland cough from one of the sunbeds below.

They quickly ran down to meet him once he told them they should come and say hello.

Newbie Brett is 27 and a PHD student and model from Derbyshire.

He has signed up to Love Island because he hasn't even had a serious relationship and hasn't met many new people in the last 18 months.

Brett thinks it is the right time for him to settle down as most of his friends have now got children of their own.

PHD student Brett also has an identical twin which he says is a 'mirror twin' where they write with the opposite hands and their hair partings are on the opposite side.

When asked how his friends would describe him he said: "Sarcastic. I’d like to think they’d say nice things like I’m generous and caring. But they know I can be quite stubborn."

He also said that he has his eye on Millie Court, Kaz Kamwi and Mary Bedford and is going to ask them all where their heads are at with their current relationships.
