CIARAN Davies has been named as one of the contestants taking part in Love Island this summer.
The Sun exclusively announced that he would be joining the reality dating show. Here’s what we know about the soon-to-be TV hunk.
Ciaran is from South Wales.
He will be swapping stunning Welsh beaches for sunny Majorca when he enters the famous Love Island villa, which has had a dramatic revamp.
It is still unclear whether he will join as a bombshell or a member of the original cast, but he is expected to turn heads either way.
A source described him as “gorgeous with a fit athletic build that will send the girls in the villa wild”.
They also described him as a “sweet boy next door”, adding: “He’s the kind of lad you could happily take home to your mum.”
The handsome Welshman is known to play for Rugby Union team Tondu RFC.
Ciaran plays for the first team in the second-row position.
Unlike fellow recently-revealed contestant Grace Jackson, he was not a social media star before making his TV debut.
The Love Island hopeful can be found on Instagram using the handle @ciarandaviesss.
His account — which has his middle name, Mark, in the bio — shows that he is a dog lover and owns a Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
We are planning to turn up the heat this series

Ciaran’s profile has been rapidly gaining attention since it was reported that he would feature on the prime time show, and as of May 17, 2024, his Insta boasts over 7,100 followers.
ITV‘s popular dating show hosted by presenter Maya Jama is set to air again on June 3, 2024.
This series will be the second time Love Island is broadcast this year after the All Stars season in January saw ex-islanders returning to South Africa for another shot at finding love.
The dating show will launch on ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX in a first for the channel.
Creative Director of Lifted Entertainment Mark Spencer said: “Love Island is back and viewers are in for a big treat this summer as we have a villa full of sexy singles heading out to Majorca all looking for the one.”
“We are planning to turn up the heat this series with brand new format elements, an incredible group of Islanders and an Insta worthy villa providing the most stunning backdrop for their summer of love.
Paul Mortimer, ITV2 and ITVBe’s Director of Reality Commissioning & Acquisitions, said: “After 10 series, I’m delighted to say that this year’s cast of Islanders is as amazing as ever and I can’t wait to see the entertainment and drama they’ll bring to, what will be, a somewhat re-vamped show.”
The show’s return is eagerly anticipated by fans following the release of the official trailer.
