Ikenna Ekwonna was plucked from the street to star on Love Island during rare London trip

Ikenna Ekwonna has told how he was scouted for Love Island during a rare trip to London.

The 23-year-old pharmaceutical salesman hails from Nottingham - but he has revealed he found himself signing up for the ITV2 show, which kicks off next Monday June 6 at 9pm, when he was out with friends in the capital.

Ikenna says he rarely finds himself in London so was surprised when something so exciting happened so quickly into his visit, and now he has found himself ready to find love this summer with one of the girls heading into the villa next week.
