Olivia Attwood has already admitted she’s ready to bin off Sam Gowland in ‘Love Island’, just days after the two partnered up in the latest reshuffle of the series.
The two got together last week, with Sam claiming that he was happy with the partnership, confessing during a private Beach Hut chat: “We’re connecting a bit so we just keep doing what we’re doing and then hopefully that’s the aim
“Hopefully we’ll just keep progressing to more than friends, it seems to be going well at the minute.”

Olivia and Sam looked like love's young dream last week
ITV
Well, Sam. We’re afraid we’ve got some news for you. Things aren’t quite as going as well as you think.
Speaking to the other girls, Olivia claimed there was “no sexual chemistry” between the two of them, insisting: “I can’t imagine having sex with him. And he keeps talking about when we have sex.
“When we went on a date and that, I thought there was a connection, I was looking at him in a different light. But as the days go on, the amount he’s irritating me is not normal.”

Olivia is having second thoughts

Eventually, Olivia plucked up the courage to tell Sam her true feelings, which included whipping one of the oldest lines in the book.
She told him: “I feel that I’ve pulled away and I feel proper distant from you.
“We started off as really good friends, so we were together all the time. Since I’ve felt these feelings it’s making me not want to be around you at all. Something’s not right but I can’t put my finger on what it is.
“You haven’t done anything. You’re one of the best boys in this house and you’ve got a heart of gold. It’s not you it is me.”
*record scratch*
Yes, romance fans. Olivia literally just told him “it’s not you, it is me”. On national television.
She concluded: “I’m looking for something, and I don’t know what it is. You’re irritating me but you’re not doing anything wrong.”

Age? 22
Job? Motorsport Grid Girl
She says: "I’ve been told I’m funny. I’ve got quite an immature sense of humour, and I can be quite naughty.
"I try not to take any rubbish from anyone so I think boys end up saying ‘she’s a player’ because they’ve not had their way with me."

He says: "Girls love me... I've always got girls around me. I've always got a girl on the scene. I'm not a player but I do like to be single.
"I stay single because I don't want to break hearts but I do end up breaking them by mistake sometimes. It's quite hard."

Job? Explosive ordnance disposal (!!)
She says: "I want to put my personal life first, for the first time in a long time, and give myself the opportunity to meet someone.
"['Love Island'] will also force me to break down some of the barriers that I have built up doing the work that I do. I can be a bit cold, and come across that way, but that’s because I’m quite independent and strong."
Have you seen her before? Perhaps if you're a lacrosse fan - Camilla once competed in the junior world championships. However, back in the summer of 2014 she was also linked with Prince Harry after the two reportedly shared a snog at an event. (credit:ITV)

Job? Executive assistant
She says: "Boys in Essex - come on! They're not great. I want to be loved up but they're just pigs. I'm ready and willing to meet someone nice. A lot of them just want about ten girlfriends at a time.

Kem(06 of11)

Age? 21
Job? Hairdresser
He says: "I wear my heart on my sleeve. I'm all in or out, nothing in between. I think I'm enjoyable to be with. I fall for girls very easily. It's been my downfall because I make it so obvious when I like a girl. I might get a bit clingy.
"I'm not normal and I think the people who make 'Love Island' know that, so I'm hoping they'll have found a girl who's not normal, who'll be a good match for me."
Have you seen him before? As a hairdresser to the stars, he's worked with the boys from 'TOWIE', Spencer Matthews and Calum Best, among others. (credit:ITV)

He says: "I'm definitely not modest! They call me vain, and I do love myself a bit. I play on it, though. I'll go, 'I'm good-looking me, aren't I? Aren't you lucky to be with me?’

Age? 21
Job? Oil rig worker
He says: "I'm a serial dater. My attention span's not that good so to be honest, I generally only manage one date with a girl, or two at a push. I get bored easily.
"And if I decide I'm not interested, I just ignore their texts. I know that's a bit mean. I like a bit of a chase, you see. I do alright with girls. If I want it, I get it." (credit:ITV)

Age? 21
Job? Economics student
She says: "I think people would probably call me quite posh! I will admit I've been brought up well and I've been really lucky to go a private school. I'm lucky to have had good opportunities in my life.
"I want to meet someone who will broaden my horizons a little bit... I'm not really exposed to people from all over the UK. I don't go to raves that much so I don't really meet anyone from outside Hertfordshire!"
Have you seen her before? In the past, she's dated both rugby players and pro footballers. (credit:ITV)
