Speaking before he went into the villa, Liam, who was left single after new contestant Davide wooed Gemma earlier this week, said he believed that he was at a "really nice" age to meet the one.

"I think 22 is a really nice age to meet someone, you've got your years ahead of you so you have time to experience stuff and grow together," he said. "I think Love Island is a great opportunity to meet someone, you're in with a load of different types, so you can get to grips with what you really like about people."
