IOur diaries have been cleared for the best part of two months, we've followed all 12 2019 Islanders on social media and Love Island fever is sweeping the nation all over again.

Now, since we think our ourselves as the know-it-all Caroline Flack of our friendship group (without the perfectly-tousled hair, we're still working on that) we thought we'd better get to know this year's contestants a little better.

Anton Danyluk's body transformation

Anton revealed his body transformation over the last few months.

Taking to his Instagram page back in November, the gym owner showed off the results, posting three photos, one from Week One, another from Week Eight, and the final from Week 16.

He wrote, 'Consistency is key 🔑 All I did from week 1 to week 16 was slowly decrease my calories and up cardio on a weekly basis. It’s not rocket science it just takes a lot of dedication and commitment 💪🏻 #transformationtuesday #howbaddoyouwantit'. sic

What's Anton Danyluk's type on paper?

He reckons, "She has to be hard working and good looking. Blonde hair is usually my type. They have to be into the gym because it’s such a big part of my life so it’s important that it’s a big part of their life as well."

Who is Anton Danyluk's celebrity crush?

"Margot Robbie," he says. "Purely for her performance in The Wolf of Wall Street."

We believe you, Anton. Thousands wouldn't.

Has Michael Griffiths ever cheated?

He says, "That’s a medical condition that I have... a wandering eye! I’ve never really been loyal in any of my relationships.

"My last relationship, I actually got caught cheating for the first time in my life and it changed everything for me. I saw how much it hurt her and what it did to her. So, for me going to into Love Island, it’s going to be the biggest test of my life. I know that if I am loyal to someone in that space of time when hot girls are being thrown in all the time then I know I can be loyal to them."

What will Michael Griffiths be like in the Love Island villa?

Sounds like he's gonna be pretty ruthless in his quest for love.

"I would go as far as I could unless I felt that the girl was mugging me off," he says. "Unless I’ve got a really good connection with one of the guys I wouldn’t really have any issues with going for their girl because I’d have only known them for a few weeks."

"I’ve always been brought up to work for everything I have so I’d want someone with a similar work ethic, not someone who lives off their parents."
