Love Island 2023 has introduced two new bombshells. Professional rugby player Keanan Brand will join the show alongside Rosie Seabrook on Friday, February 24 following the fallout from both Movie Night and Casa Amor.
ITV2 viewers may recognise Keannan as the bombshell plays as a centre for Betfred Super League club Leigh Leopards. The club have thrown their support behind Keanan, posting on social media: "A Leopard in the villa. Good luck to our own Keanan Brand who entered the @loveisland villa last night. #Leythers #loveisland #superleague."
Asked who he's got his eye on in the villa, Keanan said he wants to couple up with Samie Elishi. He said: "Samie is my number one, if I could draw my perfect girl based on looks it would be her. I think she's looking for someone that is cheeky and confident, and that's me! May the best man win. Jessie is also up there, I know she's with Will but I think me and her will get on well."

On stepping on people's toes, Keanan said: "It seems like everyone is stepping on each other's toes so I'm going to do the same! I've got my eye on Samie but Tom is obviously a big handsome lad - but in my opinion, he doesn't really get past the looks. I'm going in there to find a girl - that's my number one priority."
But how old is Keanan and how can you follow him on social media? Here are all the details.
Who is Keanan Brand?
Keanan is a professional rugby player from Wigan. Asked what kind of Islander he'd be, Keanan said: "Energetic, caring and happy go lucky. I've got the gift of the gab so I will definitely bring some fun, I want to go in, have a great time and find love!"
On what the Islanders need to know, he added: "They better be on their A-game, I've got a bit about me, so they need to watch out!"
Asked to share something he'd put on a dating profile, Keanan said: "I'm of Irish heritage so I've always got the luck of the Irish with me."
How old is Keanan Brand?
Keanan is 24 years old. On what he looks for in a partner, Keanan said: "Personality is massive for me, I want a girl who is polite and has good morals. I like someone I can bounce off, so they need to have lots of energy."
He added: "I can usually charm girls with my chat."
Is Keanan Brand on Instagram?
You can find Keanan on Instagram at keabrand_, where he already boasts 15.6K 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 is 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. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
