Love Island bombshell Kodie Murphy is one of six new boys heading to Casa Amor for the 2023 series. The social media marketer has joined the villa alongside Ouzy See, Zachary Ashford, Elom Ahlijah-Wilson, Lochan Nowacki, and Benjamin Noel.
Asked why he's looking forward to joining Casa Amor, Kodie said: "I love a challenge and can’t wait to bring my flirty, cheeky side out. There isn’t as much pressure when you go into Casa Amor, you can go in and have some fun. I’ll definitely be a little mischievous."
Kodie describes himself as "cheeky, charismatic, enthusiastic, and a bit of a charmer," and is hoping to get to know Jess in Casa Amor. He said: "Jess is my weak point as I do love a blonde. Leah is a very pretty girl but Jess’ personality is stand out for me. She can give good banter!"
But who is Kodie? Here's everything you need to know about the Casa Amor bombshell.

How old is Kodie Murphy?
Kodie is 20 years old.
Is Kodie Murphy on Instagram?
Yes, you can find Kodie on Instagram here, where he already has over a whopping 50,000 followers. However, his profile will remain dormant while he is in the villa. Usually, family members and friends take over the contestants' accounts while they are on the show, but the broadcaster has confirmed that nothing will be published on the Islanders' behalf this year.
The change was implemented for the winter series part of Love Island's duty of care measures and aims to protect both the islanders and their families from the adverse effects of social media.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
