Who is Love Island newcomer Danny Williams? Age, job, Instagram and famous connections

It's been almost a week since the first set of Islander's moved into their new home for potentially the next eight weeks and with one bombshell entry, another is on its way.

Danny Williams is set to make his Love Island debut on Sunday (June 9) when the show airs at 9pm on ITV2.

His entrance was teased to viewers on Friday following the dumping of original contestant, Welsh aircraft engineer Callum Macleod, and it will no doubt ruffle a few feathers.

But you know what? It is what it is.

Danny, 21, is a model from Hull and reckons he'll be the "entertaining Islander" and also a "good friend people can trust".

He already has more than 28,000 Instagram followers (@itsdannywilliams if you're wondering) which will no doubt increase during his time on the show, and it features a lot of his modelling snaps.

The newcomer has worked with numerous international brands including GymShark, Moschino and starred in a Christmas TV advert for menswear brand Mr. Porter's online campaign.

But his biggest 'claim to fame'?

"I'm a full-time model and was on the front cover of a magazine with Little Mix," Danny said.

"When that came out, it went viral! I met all the girls, there was me and three other lads and we all did separate shots with a girl each and we did group shots at the end.

"My shot with Jade was on the front cover. It was a really cool shot."

Love Island is on at 9pm on ITV2.
