ITV Love Island's Ron Hall - the show's first partially sighted contestant after tragic football injury left him blind in one eye

It may be about finding love - and the drama - but Love Island is once again breaking boundaries by including the show's first-ever partially sighted contestant in its brand new winter series.

Last summer, Tasha Ghouri became the show's first deaf contestant. Model and dancer Tasha has been deaf since birth and wears a cochlear implant to allow her to hear. And she was quickly praised by viewers and her fellow islanders when she opened up to them about her 'superpower'.

And Ron Hall will be likely to do the same. Before appearing in the villa, the 25-year-old said it would be "fantastic" if he could raise awareness while on the ITV2 dating show about being partially sighted.
