A prospective contestant has reportedly pulled out of ITV dating show Love Island before he had even been jetted out to the Spanish sunshine. Zach Hartman, a male model, was due to be flown to Majorca this week, but is said to have turned down the opportunity before he was even able to make his bombshell debut at the brand new villa.
This is the second blow Love Island has faced so far this series, as Welsh contestant Liam Llewellyn walked out last week, just days after this year's contestants entered the villa. While Liam gave the feeling that he was not 'giving 100%' as his reason for leaving the show, Zach has reportedly 'decided against' the opportunity to turn heads in the villa to focus on his career as a model.
Zach, who has appeared in campaigns for huge brands including Jack Wills, Ralph Lauren and ASOS, is said to have told friends that he turned down the opportunity. As a result, bosses had to scramble to replace the model.
