Who: Jessica Shears, 23, from Devon.

About: Jessica is a glamour model and is described by boys as being “loud, tactile, friendly”.

Says: “I’ve been chatted up by a few celebrities. Reality stars, mainly – they’re the same ones that message everybody,” and…

Who: Montana Brown, 21, from Hertfordshire.

About: Montana is an Economics student who’s previously dated a footballer.

Who: Olivia Attwood, 26, from Surrey.

About: Olivia is a motor sport grid girl and has modelled for well-known fashion brands.

Says: “I like the set up of the show; it’s very organic in terms of the relationships that are formed. I like the idea of not knowing who you might meet.

Now who are the cheeky chaps heading into the villa?

Who: Marcel Somerville, 31, from London.
