Love Island sign male model who is 'a real charmer with the ladies' for new series

A male model described as a "real charmer with the ladies" is reportedly entering the Love Island villa next month.

Zach Hartman, who has modelled for brands such as Jack Wills and Ralph Lauren is rumoured to be one love-seeking singletons starring in the new series of the ITV2 show when it kicks off on June 6.

The 22-year-old already boasts almost 50,000 followers on his Instagram page, where he routinely shares snaps of his work as a clothes horse for fashion houses and snippets of his holidays in the sun.

But the model - who is signed to Nevs Modelling Agency - is apparently set to take a break from the world of fashion in order to spend a summer in Mallorca looking for love, according to The Sun.

"Zach is really good-looking and is a real charmer when it comes to the ladies," a source close to the potential new islander told the publication.

"But he has a heart too. He used to carry a bit of extra weight when he was younger but he hit the gym and trimmed down after cleaning up his diet."

Speaking to the MailOnline, a representative for Love Island said: "Any names suggested are purely speculation at this stage."

Mirror Online has contacted ITV for comment.
