Love Island 2023 bombshell Zachary Ashford's age, job and his vow to 'stir' things up in Casa Amor

Love Island fans will see Casa Amor drama in full swing as the ITV2 reality show has sent the girls into Casa Amor where they have been joined by six new bombshell boys, including Zachary Ashford.

The Manchester sales exec is 27 and will join Ouzy See, Kodie Murphy, Lochan Nowacki, Elom Ahlijah-Wilson and Benjamin Noel, as they try and turn the original girls' heads while back at the main villa a new set of girls (sort of) will try and connect with the boys there.

The new girls are Tink Reading, Danielle Mazhindu, Amber Wise, who is the daughter of former England footballer Dennis Wise, Gabby Jeffery, and Abi Moores. They made their debut over the weekend alongside returning Islander Molly Marsh.

Let's hear more from Zachary about why he's going on Love Island.

Why are you excited to go into Casa Amor?

I’m really excited to get into Casa Amor. I’m looking forward to the romances but the main thing is I’m looking to stir the pot to be honest and walk out with a girl I like.

How would you describe yourself?

I’m a very confident person. I like to think that I am a funny guy and my chat with girls is good. I’m not bad to look at - there is a lot to go on. We all have our weaknesses, but I’ll go in there strong. I‘ve got northern charm and southern girls normally like a northerner!

What are the three most important qualities you look for in a partner?

The main one would be loyalty, that’s something that everyone wants. Humour, I need someone that has got banter - I can’t have a dry conversation every day. A big thing for me is someone who is family orientated. That brings a lot of great qualities to a person and something that I am passionate about because I come from a big family.

Casa Amor leaves you a limited amount of time to make a big impression, how do you plan on turning someone's head?

I am going to go in and go with my heart straight away. I’ve got a couple of people in mind and I will want to feel them out and get to know them in the first few hours. I will then draw my attention to just one girl.

Who do you want to couple up with?

At the minute my main one would be Jess, I get a lot of good vibes from her. I think she comes from a good family, she’s confident and has a lot of banter, I think we would get along really well. I feel like I’m her type, so could be a good match.

Leah, a fellow northerner. She’s a beautiful looking girl - the eye contact thing that I see her do is appealing and I want to see that in real life. She seems very sweet - I like that.

There are a couple of others, but they might be out of the question. Catherine surprised me, there is something definitely about her. Kady is a natural type for me, probably someone I would normally go for and a similar age to myself.

Which couple do you think is the strongest?

I would have said Tyrique and Ella but I think it’s more on Ella’s side. I think when Casa Amor comes, Tyrique’s head will be turned.

Which Islanders do you think could have their head turned in Casa Amor?

For the boys, 100% Tyrique. His head will take a turn I think. Zachariah will end up getting his head turned and Mitchel as well.

Turning to the girls, Jess has a bit of a hard time of it so I would say Jess definitely. I don’t think Leah is fully closed off, so I would say Leah as well. Kady is fairly new, so I think she’d be interested to see some new boys.
