Love Island 2023: I'm A Celebrity star throws support behind brother as he joins line-up

Love Island 2023 is in full swing with the summer series already getting a shake-up thanks to the arrival of two new late arrivals. Whitney Adebayo is the newest bombshell to join the show following Zachariah Noble's shock entrance on launch night.

The personal trainer and former basketball player chose to couple up with Catherine Agbaje, leaving André Furtado single and vulnerable. On why he's joined the 2023 line-up, the 25-year-old said: "I always say, 'you only grow as a person when you take yourself out of your comfort zone' and I think it's something that's so far out of my comfort zone, I'd be silly not to give it a go.

"Being 25, I'm at a crossroads where I’ve been having fun, but I also want to have the peace and harmony that comes from being with the right woman."

And following Zachariah's entrance, his famous sibling has thrown support behind him. The Islander is the younger brother of Radio 1Xtra DJ, Snoochie Shy, real name Cheyenne Davide, who was also a contestant on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! 2021.

Snoochie took part in I'm A Celebrity during lockdown when it was filmed at Gwrych Castle in Wales. Snoochie was the third contestant to be booted out of camp with soap star Danny Miller being crowned the first King of the Castle.

Snoochie, who has also starred on Celebrity Gogglebox and Celebrity Mastermind, will now be supporting her younger brother during his time on Love Island 2023. The DJ threw support behind her "baby bro" on both Instagram and Twitter.

Posting on Wednesday, June 7, Snoochie wrote: "WELL HERE WE GO/. MY BABY BRO IS IN THE LOVE ISLAND VILLA !!! GO ZAC.."

Snoochie accompanied the sweet message with a string of photographs, including two childhood snaps of the pair where Zac is just a baby, images of the two siblings on holiday, and a more recent one of Zac and Snoochie posing side by side.

Zachariah, who is a shooting guard and most recently played for Worcester Wolves in British Basketball, describes himself as a "very chilled-out guy". He added: "I’m completely myself 100% of the time. I’m quite straightforward and never struggle making friends, I like to look after people."

"I'm pretty tall and I'm confident in myself. In this day and age I think being genuine is rare and I'm very genuine. What you see is what you get." For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
