Faye Winter is the most sought-after girl in the ‘Love Island’ villa so far, with three of the five boys wanting to couple up with her.

The new season of the ITV2 dating show returned to screens on Monday (28.06.21) and the first episode saw the 10 singletons – five boys and five girls – couple up for the very first time.

And it was the 26-year-old lettings manager from Devon who caught the attention of the majority of this year’s hunks, as three of them made the move to grab her as their partner.

This year, the girls were asked to step forward for each boy they found attractive, with the boy in question then able to pick from any of the five girls, including anyone who was already coupled up.

PE teacher Hugo Hammond was the first hunk to pick Faye after none of the girls stepped forward to register their interest in him, but their time together was short-lived as the next contestant, semi-professional footballer Toby Aromolaran booted him out of the way to snatch Faye for himself.

However, it was the final boy, labourer Brad McClelland, who finally won the right to woo Faye first, after she stepped forward to let him know she was attracted to him even though she was already coupled up with Toby.

Hugo and Toby were then left without a partner, and had to choose between the two remaining single girls, with Hugo coupling up with Sharon Gaffka, and Toby getting to know fashion blogger Kaz Kamwi.

Model Shannon Singh is currently paired with fellow model and luxury events host Aaron Francis, while final beauty Liberty Poole has connected with water engineer Jake Cornish.

The pairings are already set for a shake-up though, as Tuesday’s (29.06.21) episode will see latecomer Chloe Burrows enter the villa and take one of the five guys for herself, leaving one girl single.
