Bosses have already revealed that this summer viewers will have more control than ever, as they vote which girls and boys will be coupled up right from the start of the series.
The French hunk admitted he was convinced to sign up for the show by his friends after being single for two years.
So, as Love Island fans tune in for eight weeks of romance and drama, here is everything you need to know about Mehdi Edno...

Who is Mehdi Edno?
Mehdi, 26, is a hunky French model, originally from Bordeax but now residing in London.
He is said to be 'the definition of tall, dark and handsome' and he certainly isn't shy about flaunting his looks on social media.
When asked if her was ready to find ‘the one’, Mehdi said: Yes. I’ve been busy for the last few years with work, and doing my Masters degree but now I’m done with the busy schedule, and ready to find love.
Revealing what he does to get somebody to date him, he added: 'I’d simply start by speaking French, that usually gets girls interested', while he also listed what's important for him in a partner.
He said: 'Looks are important but they aren’t everything, a good sense of humour and someone who is outgoing and up for an adventure is what I’m looking for.'
Producers are thought to be hoping that Mehdi will be the next Davide Sancliment, after the Italian Stallion won the last series with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
Hunky! In addition to posting brooding selfies to his 200 followers, the jet-setting European often shares snaps from his adventure-seeking, far-flung getaways

WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? Because every boy is giving me the ick at the moment. I feel like it's fate because I'm saving myself for Mr Right in the Villa!
WHAT GIVES YOU THE ICK? When a guy stunts for money, that's an ick. Showing off all their designer clothes because most of the time they're probably fake anyway! Another one is when a boy runs for the train and the train goes without him. Lunch Boxes also - just go to Tesco and get a meal deal!

Molly Marsh
NAME: Molly Marsh
AGE: 21
FROM: Doncaster
OCCUPATION: Musical Theatre Performer and Social Media Creator
WHY LOVE ISLAND? I think it’s ideal timing and the perfect way to find someone. I don’t go out and party and I don’t use dating apps, I’m actually quite old-fashioned, so there’s no better way to meet someone than by going into a Villa in the sun with the potential ‘one’ in there.
DO YOU HAVE ANY CLAIMS TO FAME? With my job being in social media, I’ve had some amazing opportunities to go on press trips and I’ve actually been out to the 'Love Island' Villas in Mallorca and South Africa. Having the experience to walk around both was amazing but to now actually live in the Villa is going to be incredible.

AGE: 25

OCCUPATION: Entrepreneur
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? Good vibes, I can be really silly and funny but I can also get deep. It depends on the person and the situation but I am a very adaptable person, I know how to read the room.
DO YOU FALL IN LOVE QUICKLY? Real love, no. I can fall in lust but I don't fall in love quickly. My big thing is trust, I've got to trust you fully before I can give you my heart. I won't give you my heart for free, you've got to earn it.
Lochan Nowacki
NAME: Lochan Nowacki
AGE: 25
FROM: Windsor
OCCUPATION: Account Manager
WHY ARE YOU EXCITED TO GO INTO CASA AMOR? I feel like I’m excited because a lot of the people in relationships aren’t fully secure. I know the type of person I am as well, so I feel like I can turn heads. I’m not going to be disrespectful and I’m proud of my morals as a person. I’m confident that I can go in and not necessarily stir it up, but open the ladies’ eyes to what could be a better couple.
HOW DO YOU PLAN ON TURNING PEOPLE'S HEADS? I have a top three in my mind already, so I’ll probably be pulling them for chats quite quickly and letting them know they’re the top three people I want to speak to. But I’m confident I’m a people person, I’m not going in there to act any differently to how I am with my own friends. I back myself that people will see that and see my good looks and bish, bash, bosh.
