It's that time of year again! With ITV confirming Love Island WILL go ahead this year after being cancelled due to the pandemic in 2020, bosses will reveal which singletons will be heading into the stunning villa out in Majorca tomorrow (Monday 21st June).

With Islanders such as Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury, Olivia and Alex Bowen, and Cara de la Hoyde and Nathan Massey all still loved-up, and a number of Love Island babies arriving in recent years, we are eager to discover which singletons will be looking for love this year.

ITV confirmed the exciting news, writing on social media: 'YOU'VE GOT A TEXT! Tomorrow we will be revealing the cast for Love Island 2021. These Islanders are all single and ready to find love. We can't wait to watch them get to know each other, date, and maybe even find the one. We're so grateful they're letting us follow their journey this summer. We hope you enjoy the show, but please think before you post'.

Although ITV are yet to officially reveal any names, as always, rumours are flying around. Check out all of the rumoured Islanders before the big announcement on Monday:

Love Island 2021 cast:

Alisha Lemay

Not only is Alisha the best friend of TOWIE star Pete Wicks, she's also a social media star in her own right, with nearly 160K followers on Instagram already.

A source told the Mail Online: "Alisha is exactly the type of contestant ITV2 are looking for- she's gorgeous, body confident and isn't afraid to be herself. She already works as an influencer and has collaborated with brands like PrettyLittleThing, Missguided and Asos, which all becomes part in parcel of being a Love Island star."

Rumours were rife that Alisha would appear on Winter Love Island back in 2020, but after she was a no-show, will we see her this year?

Harley Benn

Boasting nearly 10,000 Instagram followers, Harley is a 24-year-old professional boxer and business owner.

According to reports, Harley has been having video meetings with Love Island bosses, and we all know how popular the last boxer on the show turned out to be.... cough cough - Tommy Fury.

Holly Ramsay

You'll probably recognise Holly for being the daughter of celeb chef Gordon Ramsay, and earlier this year rumours were rife that the fashion student had signed up for the 2021 series.

However, after seeing the reports, 21-year-old Holly took to her Instagram Story to deny the claims, telling her followers: 'Thanks for all the lovely messages, but no, I’m definitely not appearing on Love Island.'

Dr. Toluwa Adepeju

Following the success of Dr. Alex George on the show back in 2018, bosses are reportedly eager to get Dr. Toluwa Adepeju on the 2021 series, an NHS frontline hero in throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 25-year-old has been active on social media over the last year, encouraging his 11,000 Instagram followers to get vaccinated.

Jay Munro

Scottish hunk Jay Munro was also rumoured for Winter Love Island back in 2020, after making an appearance on The Voice Australia just months before.

The Daily Star said at the time: "Jay will be the one all the girls will be chasing. Just like Tommy Fury, he's a sportsman, in good shape and has dreamy looks. The brown-haired hunk has already proven his chops on TV."

Of course he didn't appear, but rumours are rife he could join the 2021 cast. He already has a massive 190K Instagram followers and has worked with brands such as ASOS and JD.

Alexis Bailey

21-year-old aerial dancer Alexis was the first female to be rumoured for the 2021 series, with reports suggesting she's not long come out of a long term relationship.

Not only did Alexis work for Wayne Lineker at one point, she was also the runner-up in the Miss Manchester 2019 beauty contest.

Ellis Iyayi

Another influencer who has been linked with the show before, Ellis is a 21-year-ol fitness model who has worked with major brands like ASOS, Nike and GymShark.

Oh, and he also boasts over 260K Instagram followers.

One change this year is that the recruitment process, currently ongoing, is open to members of the LGBTQ+ community.

This year, potential contestants have been able to apply via Tinder, with ads showing up on the dating platform, not only for straight singletons, but also for both men and women looking for same sex partners - much to their surprise.
