Love Island's Sammy Root: Age, job and his awkward dating secret

There's another new bombshell in the Love Island villa and his name is Sammy. But what do we know about the new bloke who is from Kent? Let's find out.

The new boy made his entrance on Thursday, June 8 and quickly had a one-on-one with three of the girls in the villa. Ella was the first to embark on a date with him and whilst relaxing on the day beds, the Scottish TV extra, who is currently paired up with Tyrique Hyde, received a text which reads: “Ella, I’m waiting to date you on the hideaway terrace. I’ll give the other two girls a shout later.”

He told Ella that he was a "decent bit of fun," and the pair shared a cocktail before he invited Molly to the new terrace. The musical theatre actress said that the pair 'had good energy' and was really nice. Next up was Jess who was excited about the date with Sammy, who told the west Londoner she 'had mad eyes', but she seemed to take it as a compliment.
