Love Island's Ron Hall is part of the 2023 line-up for the winter edition of the popular dating programme. Ron, who says he'll bring fun and charisma to the villa, wants to "have good times and make memories" while on the show.
Asked how his family and friends would describe him, Ron added: "My mum and dad would say that I am a very funny, charismatic but genuine person. I know that's a typical thing a parent would say about their son. But they know that I've got good morals. They know I'm a good person at heart. I'm not rude, I'm polite, I was brought up properly, a well-raised person. My friends would say it's very noticeable when I'm not around. I'm a good person to be around and I always 'add'. I'm added value."
Ron will be the show’s first ever partially sighted contestant. He said: "On meeting me, you’d never know I am blind in one eye. It was the result of a football injury when I was 8; I went in for a header and got kicked in the face.

"I've got two different coloured eyes, one blue and one green. It’s added to my character, there are so many people that are worse off than me. And if anything, losing something like that makes you realise that. It's not hindered me in any shape or form. It's a good conversation starter I must admit.
But how old is Ron, what does he do for a living and how can you follow him on social media? Here are all the details.
Who is Love Island's Ron Hall?
Ron is a financial advisor from Essex. Asked why he's still single, Ron said: "I'm career focussed and wanted to enjoy myself and do all the things I wanted to do. I now feel that I'm emotionally ready to say, 'I'm now ready to find someone.'"
He added: "I'm the most genuine person you'll meet. I'm genuine, caring and I’m a nice person - which you don't find these days."
How old is Ron Hall?
Ron is 25 years old. He said of joining Love Island: "I think it's the best show to find love on. I’m now 25 and I had in my head that I'd be with someone, settled and married by say 27… it's now coming awfully close to that.
"It's now a good opportunity for me to force myself into that intense environment. I don't use dating apps and texting, it's forced. Being in there, chatting to someone 24/7 that suits me and my personality."
Is Ron Hall on Instagram?
You can find Ron at ronhall__. However, Ron's profiles 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.
