We’re getting ready for our 12th season of Love Island and we couldn’t be more excited.
But it looks like they’re trying to recapture the magic of arguably the best season of the show, season five.
This season featured the likes of our very own Maura Higgins and Molly-Mae Hague.

25-year-old Conor from Limerick is a professional rugby player…sound familiar? Just like season five’s winner Greg O’Shea the rugby player from Limerick!
We’ll let Conor introduce himself!
The type of Islander I’d like to couple up with is…
Someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don’t mind a dominant woman.
You’re a 10 but…
I don’t like to answer to anyone else. I like to do my own thing. It’s something I’m working on for a relationship. Hopefully I’ve improved!
What’s your biggest ick?
Being too needy, or needing to do everything together. I like someone to be independent and do their own thing and then we come together and do our thing.

It’s morning in the Villa, where would we find you?
Sunglasses on, iced coffee in my hand, I’m ready to go.
What’s your claim to fame?
I play professional rugby. I’m a winger.
If your love life up until now was a movie, what would it be called?
‘Still Trying’ – it’s got to be a rugby pun, hasn’t it?
If you were the CEO of anything, what would it be?
Mischief. I’m the class clown type vibe. Being in big teams and groups all the time, I’m always mixing things up, stirring the pot.

Would Maya hire or fire you based on your flirting skills alone?
Definitely hire. I ask girls if they want to go halves on a baby. It doesn’t work, but it gets them laughing. It’s an ice-breaker, not a serious question of course!
If your love life was a business would it be booming or would you be bankrupt?
I’d be keeping my head above water… I’m doing nicely as a single person, but I need a relationship, I need to settle down and invest in some stocks.
What kind of airport person are you; arrive 3+ hours early/ last one to gate?
Even if I am a bit early, I’ll still be the last one on the plane. I travel a lot so I’ve picked up a few tactics, like getting on last and finding a nice empty seat near the front.
Do you have any unusual skills/secret hobbies?
Singing. My go to is Mario’s ‘Let Me Love You’. I’ve sang in front of a lot of people before. If it’s your first rugby match you have to get on the bus and sing -they loved it!
Love Island returns Monday 9th June at 9pm on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Play
