A hunky 6’5 personal trainer is the first Love Island star to sign up for the the hotly-anticipated new summer series.
Londoner Aaron Buckett is rumoured to have been snapped up by ITV bosses to turn heads in the villa either as part of the ‘opening line-up or as a tempting bombshell’.
The gym enthusiast already boasts thousands of followers on both his TikTok and Instagram pages, where he regularly shares clips of his gruelling workouts.
A villa source told The Sun: ‘It’s a fact of life that girls go crazy for a tall lad and Aaron is a man mountain.
‘He’s got great chat too.
‘Aaron is in the mix for this year’s cast but execs are still finalising whether he’ll be in the opening line-up or as a tempting bombshell.’

Maya Jama made a huge Love Island announcement on Monday ahead of the new series
It was revealed last month that the ITV dating show is commemorating its 10th anniversary by welcoming back a whole host of its biggest stars.
The one-off special, titled Love Island: A Decade of Love, will take on a ‘Gogglebox style format’ as the Islanders will revisit the show’s most iconic moments.
Airing in June, the episode will feature exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes insights as fans are given the chance to catch up with some of their favourite stars.
And now, ITV has revealed exactly which Islanders will be back on screens with Dani Dyer, Curtis Pritchard and lovebirds Liam Reardon and Millie Court all set to return.
Georgia Steel will no doubt revisit her iconic ‘I’m loyal’ catchphrase as she will make a comeback alongside series two winners Cara De La Hoyde-Massey and Nathan Massey.
The show’s other successful couples Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan and Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope will also be back to give fans an update on their love stories.
Gabby Allen, who recently split from her All Stars boyfriend Casey O’Gorman, is also returning once again alongside the likes of Hannah Elizabeth, Anton Danyluk, Whitney Adebayo and Catherine Agbaje.
Lastly, Montana Brown – who welcomed her second child with fiancé Mark O’Connor at the start of the year – will also be gracing screens again.

Creative Director Mike Spencer said of the special: ‘We’ve had an incredible ten years of love, drama and unforgettable moments in the villa – now it’s time to look back and celebrate the icons who made it all happen.
‘Expect big laughs and plenty of heart as we revisit a decade of Love Island magic.’
While Paul Mortimer, Head of Reality, added: ‘Love Island has become a true phenomenon over the past decade, delivering must-see TV moments every summer.
‘This special offers viewers a chance to relive some of the show’s most iconic moments with the Islanders who made them so memorable.’
The special will air on ITV2 and ITVX ahead of the brand new summer series, which returns to Majorca this June.
Love Island originally began in 2005 and aired for two series with celebrity contestants, before launching properly with a civilian version in 2015.
