Love Island 2018: what fans said about the new lineup

Love Island 2018 is nearly upon us and yesterday the long awaited lineup for the reality show was released.

Among the latest applicants are an A&E doctor, a West End performer and actor Danny Dyer's daughter.

Reaction to the latest group of contestants has been lukewarm however, with many branding the lineup as a poor imitation of last year's edition.

Here's what fans of the show said about the new lineup of contestants.

Laura Anderson, 23

Stirling-based air hostess Laura Anderson has already won a few fans ahead of her appearance on Love Island.

Dani Dyer, 21

This barmaid is already causing quite a stir due to her famous father Danny Dyer.

I reckon Dani dyer will be this years Marcel, it’s not going to be “I was in blazin squad”, all you are going to hear is “my dad is danny dyer” #LoveIsland

Alex George, 27

A&E doctor Alex George from West Wales has quickly been touted as an early favourite by some.

After watching the #LoveIsland VTs my early favourites are Alex and Kendall, although this will probably change after the first episode

Others were less impressed, however.
