Love Island has revealed its contestants for this year's show and among them is an Irishman 'Hope-ing' to find love.
Dami Hope, 26 from Dublin says he applied for the show as he wanted to 'experience new things'.
The Senior Microbiologist describes himself as 'passionate' and admits he doesn't know if he will cause trouble in the Villa, but sometimes 'trouble happens'.

Speaking about why he entered the show he said: "This year I was kind of being more open to new things and I think actually that's why I put myself out there to get some new experiences. Love Island is a different experience, I will be talking to different girls, it might not go well with some, might go well with others, so it’s a fun experience."
Asked what he thinks he will bring to the Villa, Dami said: "Just myself - Dami Hope! Being me - funny and my personality. I don’t know if I will cause trouble, I’ll try not to cause trouble but sometimes you don’t intentionally cause trouble - but it happens!"
On the subject of why he thinks he's a catch, Dami added: "When I’m actually in a relationship, I think it’s a star sign thing, I’m an Aries but I’m very passionate - I always used to put that person first. If they had something they wanted to do or something they were passionate about, I’d make sure that even if it’s something I’m not talented at I’d get talented at it just so it helps them. I’m really good at being in a team and actually looking after each other."
The popular ITV reality show kicks off on June 7 and this year's contestants are being revealed one by one on social media today.
Joining Dami in the Villa so far is Paramedic Paige Thorne from Swansea, London Hotel Waitress Indiyah Polack, Masters Student Liam Llewellyn from South Wales and Model and Dancer Tasha Ghouri.
