Nottingham's Ikenna Ekwonna has revealed how he was scouted for Love Island during a rare trip to London. The 23-year-old pharmaceutical salesman said he simply found himself signing up for the ITV2 show when he was out with friends in the capital, reports The Mirror.
The show, which kicks off on Monday (June 6) at 9pm, will see Nottingham's very own contestant on his journey to find love in the villa. Ikenna says he rarely finds himself in London so was surprised when something so exciting happened so quickly into his visit.
He said: "It's quite a funny story actually! It was the first time I was in London this year - and that was the first time in London for a while. I was up there for a friend's birthday and we were in Shoreditch Boxpark and I was approached there actually."
