While episodes started on Monday, 5th June on ITV2, there’s no need to panic if you’re already behind - as each show is put onto the ITVX platform after it has aired.
After being initially coupled-up thanks to a public vote, there has already been hints at a love-triangle between Molly, Mitchel and Jess, as well as the entrance of the first bombshell - South London PT, Zachariah Noble.
And entering the villa on Wednesday’s show was the arrival of new bombshell Whitney Adebayo, an entrepreneur from Camden who chose to go on a romantic date at the beach with André.
But what is Whitney looking for in a man, and why does she think the Love Island villa is the perfect place to find one? Read on to find out…

Who is Whitney Adebayo?
Hailing from Camden Town in North London, Whitney claims she will have “good vibes” in the villa.
“I can be really silly and funny but I can also get deep,” explains the 25-year-old. “It depends on the person and the situation but I am a very adaptable person, I know how to read the room.”
While her mum says she is stubborn, entrepreneur Whitney continues that her friends think she is the life of the party - something which we’ll no doubt see more of on the show as the weeks go on.
“In series 8, Danica gave her fellow islanders twerking lessons around the pool - that’s the sort of thing I will be doing in the Villa,” she laughs.
How old is Whitney Adebayo?
Whitney Adebayo is 25 years old - she will turn 26 in November and is a Scorpio.
Is Whitney on Instagram?
Yes - you can find Whitney at @whitbrownsx on Instagram.
The Love Island hopeful has already racked up nearly 5000 followers, and excitedly changed her bio to: 'I’m off to find love in the @loveisland villa!'
Why did Whitney sign up for Love Island summer 2023?
With her “triple B’s - bum, boobs and brains,” Whitney is in the villa to enjoy herself.
“Why not? I want to have fun and have a lit summer,” she says. “Why would you not want to date me? I don’t lack in any aspect - I’m that girl.”
But underneath that happy-go-lucky exterior, Whitney adds that she is quite a sensitive soul.
“I can fall in lust but I don’t fall in love quickly,” she explains. “My big thing is trust - I’ve got to trust you fully before I can give you my heart. I won’t give you my heart for free, you've got to earn it.”
What is Whitney looking for in a partner?
Of the qualities she’s looking for in a potential new beau, Whitney says “a good sense of humour, emotional depth and [someone who] makes time for me” are at the top of her list - while nail-biters and guys in skinny jeans are a big no-no!
“I have a thing about nice hands,” she laughs.
Whitney adds: “I’m too much to handle sometimes, maybe people are intimidated by me. I know what I want and I’m very picky.”
Love Island airs on ITV2 at 9pm. You can watch all previous seasons of Love Island on BritBox – you can sign up for a 7-day free trial.
