Model Jada Sezer ‘tipped to join Love Island’
Bosses want to diversify the show
With just under two weeks to go until the nation goes into complete Love Island frenzy, rumours about which singletons will be joining the villa are seriously heating up.
As well as Tyson Fury's brother Tommy, AJ Pritchard's brother Curtis, Big Brother star Lotan Carter, Ted Pullin, Sav Berry, and American model Delilah Belle Hamlin, it is now being reported that 'plus size' model Jada Sezer is being lined-up.
Jada, who ran the London Marathon in her underwear back in March, is reportedly a favourite with bosses, as they try to diversify the show and include 'all body types'.
A source told The Mirror, “Previous years have been criticised for a lack of diversity among contestants. This year producers are determined to have more variation among the Islanders.
“They want all shapes and sizes taking part – not just a stream of identikit young men and women.
“Given the nature of the show, it’s important the contestants feel body confident as they spend so much time wearing skimpy clothes or bikinis as they sunbathe and hang out by the pool.
“Jada would be a perfect choice because she is passionate about body positivity – and even appeared on Good Morning Britain in her underwear before running the marathon. Producers have been talking at length with her and are hopeful they might feature her later in the series."

Rosie Williams
Rosie recently revealed to fans she'd been editing her photos 'too much' after Love Island left her feeling 'rubbish'.
However, the former Islander later told fans how she's been working with her family and friends to come up with ideas of how to recreate her Instagram, to bring back the 'sassy' Rosie her fans know.

Jack Fincham
Pen salesman Jack Fincham won the show in 2018 alongside Dani Dyer, the pair coupled up together in the first show and the rest was history.

After leaving the villa, Jack landed himself a TV show alongside Dani Dyer, appeared on the Celebrity version of Gogglebox and even hosted the NTA red carpet with Dani.
After the pair split up in April 2019, Jack has gone on to be involved in a number of sponsorship deals, as well as attending various events. He also recently appeared on The All New Full Monty.

After leaving the villa, Dani was in demand, landing her own clothing brand with In The Style, appearing on more or less EVERY TV show, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for Red Nose Day, and releasing her own book.
Following her split from Jack, Dani was accused of 'cheating' with her ex-boyfriend Sammy Kimmence, after snaps of them kissing emerged. However, the Love Island winner totally denied the rumours.
Laura Anderson
Despite her turbulent time in the Love Island villa, Scottish beauty Laura Anderson finished in second place with hunky model Paul Knops.

Despite her relationship with Paul not lasting, Laura has kept herself busy and she recently launched her own fitness and lifestyle website called So-LA.
Oh, and her Instagram is also filled with clothing deals from various brands.
Paul Knops
He was VERY popular with the ladies when he was a late arrival into the villa (probably due to fact he'd appeared in Britney Spears video), but it was Laura Anderson who he coupled up with finishing in second place.
Paul Knopps
After splitting with Laura just weeks after leaving the villa, Paul has continued to work as a model, showing off his good looks on his Instagram page.
We wonder if he features in any more of Britney Spears' music videos?
