Love Island cast: full list of contestants from Scotland - from Shannon Singh to Paige Turley
Love Island is back soon, so let’s take a look at all the Scottish contestants over the years.
Sun, sea and singletons – it’s not long now until Love Island is back on our screens for 2022.
Fans of the ITV2 dating show have been starved of hearing “I’ve got a text!” and “Can I grab you for a chat?” for a whole year. But a hot summer of love is just around the corner, as the eighth series’ official start date has been confirmedas Monday, June 6.
And the newest members of the villa have also been announced, although there are no Scots in sight. Let’s hope that changes, as there have been many iconic Scottish singletons who’ve taken part in the competition in years gone by.

5. Jamie Clayton
Jamie, 29, isn’t as well-known as Paige since he was only on the winter edition of the show for a short stint. The Edinburgh recruitment consultant coupled up with student Natalia, before the pair were voted off by viewers a week later. But fans will be pleased to know he’s currently loved-up in another relationship.

6. Anton Danyluk
Anton, from Airdrie, was a fan-favourite when season five of the show aired. The 26-year-old personal trainer found it difficult to find love in the villa, before he coupled up with makeup artist Belle Hassan. The pair called it quits a few weeks after leaving the island, though. He’s now living in Dubai working as a personal trainer and also has a role with the United Nations to promote health and wellbeing among young people.

7. Laura Anderson
Laura, from Stirling, became one of the most recognisable faces during the fourth season of the show. The 32-year-old former air hostess was another Scot who was unlucky in love, coupling up with Wes Nelson, Jack Fowler and then Paul Knops, although the runner-up couple parted ways shortly after leaving the villa. She’s now living her best life in Dubai.

8. Biggs Chris
Hailing from Glasgow, Chris entered the show’s Casa Amor villa as a bombshell during the winter edition of Love Island. Despite his good chat, the 29-year-old was dumped from the island only three days later. He got together with fellow contestant Rebecca Gormely, from Newcastle, after the show and the pair remain together.
