Love Island line up Leicester City footballer James Maddison’s ex Molly-Mae Hague for new cast

LOVE Island bosses have lined up Molly-Mae Hague who’s the ex-girlfriend of Leicester City footballer James Maddison for the new series.

The blonde bombshell, 19, has been handpicked by producers thanks to her stunning looks and huge social media following.

A TV insider told The Sun: “Molly is very gorgeous and looks incredible in a bikini – she’s the perfect islander.

“She was in a relationship with footballer James Maddison but they split earlier this year. Molly’s told close pals she’s ready to move on and find someone special in the villa.

“Former Islanders Rosie Williams and Kendall Rae Knight are friends with Molly and have given her some insight into being on the show.

“She will fly from Manchester where she lives to Majorca this weekend ahead of the start of the series next Monday.”

The new series of Love Island starts on Monday June 3 and while ITV are yet to confirm the new line-up that hasn’t stopped the rumour mill from spinning.

Boxer Tyson Fury revealed his younger brother Tommy is going on the show this year, saying: “He’s going on a TV show called Love Island.

“He’s a good looking young kid and I think he’s going to be a hit with the ladies on it. He clearly doesn’t look like me because I look like an ogre.”

The Sun revealed that bosses were doing everything they could to secure Rochelle Humes’ younger sister Soph Piper for the show but she was still weighing up her options.

The show is also said to be recruiting bigger ladies for the new series, after there was a call last year for curvier girls to take part.

An insider said: “This year is going to be different, as the cast will include curvier women viewers can relate to.”

It has been claimed that plus size model Jada Sezer is also being considered for this year’s cast.
