Love Island UK has shocked viewers with new plot twists while the dynamics between cast members keep changing. When new bombshells enter the villa, some contestants are dumped, and a few are sent home when their journey on the show ends. After the entry of the bombshells, the contestants can decide if they want to stay with their original partner or explore a connection with a newbie entering the house.
One of the bombshells who has recently entered the villa is 25-year-old Harry Baker, who is Structured Cabling Engineer from Birmingham. Right after his entry, he managed to turn some heads. Fans expect an elimination soon, as the Birmingham native already has eyes on committed women in the villa. The new Love Island cast member is looking for "confidence, drive, and ambition" in his potential love interest.
Who does Harry plan on pursuing as a romantic connection on Love Island?
Harry signed up for Love Island in hopes of finding someone to settle down with, since he believes he's close to 30 and believes now is the right time for him to be in a long-term relationship. The new bombshell considers himself "a normal lad" who works on construction sites, so he wouldn't hold back from speaking his heart out.
When he was asked about what qualities he brings to the table that might make him "a catch," Harry shared that, although people have always told him that he's funny, he isn't sure if they are laughing with him or at him.
"On nights out, I’m always the first to get attention and when the girls come over I can keep them there. It’s not just the looks, I’ve got the personality to go with it," Harry said.
The Love Island cast member wants the islanders to know that he will be an "open book" who isn't afraid to confront people and tell them how he feels.
If he doesn't like what someone did or is uncomfortable with anyone's behavior, Harry reportedly claimed that he would quickly tell the person what was wrong. Since Harry's friends described him as a diva, he explained that if something didn't go his way, he was "a bit of a nightmare."
"My pals would call me a diva to be fair as I’m always doing my barnet. If something doesn’t go my way I’m a bit of a nightmare. On a night out I’m all over the gaff running from here to there to talk to people," Harry said.
Baker also revealed that he is interested in getting to know Matilda, Grace, and Jess on Love Island. Another reason Baker is single is that he never really got to date someone outside of Birmingham. He wanted to "branch out" and meet new people outside of his hometown.
"I’ve never dated out of Birmingham to be fair, I need to branch out! Being 25, I’m on the wrong side of 20 now! I’m closer to 30 so it’s about time I find a bride and settle down."
Fans are excited to see how the new addition will shake things up in the Love Island UK house. Many wonder if there will be new couples formed following the recoupling ceremony or if the older pairs will grow stronger.
Fans can stream Love Island UK from Sunday to Friday at 9 pm on ITV2. They can also follow the official Instagram account of Love Island to stay updated with teasers, sneak peeks, and episode previews.
