Not even our own summer holiday could stop us watching Love Island this year. Now that we know which 12 islanders will be grafting in the Love Island villa and completely reinventing the English dictionary, we're very ready for the series to begin on Monday 3rd June.

Anyway, now we've followed this year's cast on social media and swooned over their oh-so-perfect pics, we thought we'd get to know them all a little better.

You ready to meet aircraft engineer-type Callum Macleod? Let's do this!

How long did Callum Macleod last in Love Island 2019?

Poor Callum only lasted FIVE days in the 2019 villa, becoming the first boy to be dumped on Friday 7th June. After initially coupling up with Amber in the launch show, the pair just didn't get on, with Amber deciding couple up with Anton in the recoupling, meaning Callim was sent packing.

Who is Love Island's Callum Macleod?

He's not to be confused with the British race car driver or cricketer of the same name.

How old is Callum Macleod?

He's 28-years-old.

Where is Callum Macleod from?

Callum's from South Wales, he is.

What's Callum Macleod's type on paper?

He says, "Looks-wise, I like blonde and petite girls. Personality, I just like girls that let me be myself and as long as they like me for me and of course I’ve got to enjoy their personality. As long as they let me be me and don’t try and change me."

Who is Callum Macleod's celebrity crush?

Callum's got a thing for Michelle Keegan, apparently.

He reckons, "I was seventeen, eighteen when she joined Corrie. It was like my older sister bringing home a fit bird every night for tea! I stopped watching it when they killed off Tina."

Has Callum Macleod ever cheated?

Nope. HALLELUJAH.

He says, "I hate cheating, I can’t stand it. I don’t understand why people want to do it. I’m all for being single, having a laugh and doing what you’ve got to do but I don’t understand why you would want to hurt someone at the same time. I’d rather just say ‘I don’t want to be with you’ and then go off. No, I wouldn’t cheat."

What will Callum Macleod be like in the Love Island villa?

He's gonna tell it like it is. "I’ll just be honest," he explains. "At the end of the day we are all there to meet people but I wouldn’t want to nick another lad’s girl."

What is Callum Macleod's biggest turn-off?

"I like morals and loyalty. If I was in the villa and a girl was with a lad and was trying to crack on with someone else, I’d rather the girl be honest and went to the boy straight away. I don’t like it when people are slimy."
