Among them is Irish rugby player Conor Phillips - who was drafted in to the villa as a replacement for axed Kyle Ashman.
Original star Kyle, 23, was struck from the dating show line-up after it was revealed that he had been held and questioned by police over a machete attack at a wake.
Speaking to press, Conor revealed the most unusual place he's had sex.
The 25-year-old shared: "Probably behind a nightclub, I think, is the craziest, to be honest.
"I know it's nothing too crazy. I was young as well."
Meanwhile, Conor also discussed how his mother feels about him joining Love Island.
He said: "It's a weird one for parents. My mam will be quite reserved and lowkey. So, it's a bit out of her comfort zone.
"But again, she knew that I'm an adult, so I'm going to make my own decision, and she's going to support me.
"And she has supported me. But yeah, it's a bit of a weird one, isn't it, if your child decides to do something like this."
Revealing his preparations for the villa, Conor shared: "I had budgie smugglers in my hand. I just thought of everyone else who is going to be watching the show and said no.

"I put them down. It would have been too stereotypical rugby player. In terms of getting ready for the show, I actually haven't changed any diet, or any gym routine.
"I train quite heavily anyway, so that side of it was taken care of."
He also reflected on past relationships, remarking: "I've only had one. It just didn't work out, because it was my first one. I was 23 as well, so single my whole life.
"I probably just didn't want to get in a relationship, because I didn't want to have that commitment. I'm an only child.
"I've never really had to answer to many people and stuff. So then when I had to tell this person everything I was doing, it was just a bit heavy on me.
"And we lived four hours away from each other. The distance was too much.
It comes as he previously admitted to breaking a show rule after having signed up.
Islanders are forbidden from revealing their involvement in the series before entering the villa.
However, Conor revealed he'd sought the advice of past winner Greg O'Shea, a fellow Irish rugby player.
Love Island.
"He just said 'be yourself, it's a really really really cool experience that not many people get.
"So enjoy it and yeah take it day by day and if you can be yourself you can't really go too far wrong'.
"So that's my plan. He was like 'my advice might be a bit different from others because I won'."
Love Island returns tonight at 9pm on ITV2.

Jack P Shepherd and Hanni Treweek tie the knot as first snaps emerge from lavish wedding
The Corrie star and his new wife have been pictured together for the first time on their wedding day. Telly favourite Jack P Shepherd and Hanni Treweek have officially tied the knot. The Coronation Street star and his new wife were married at Manchester Cathedral today. The first photos from their special day have now emerged. As can be seen in our sister title The Mirror, the couple were all smiles in the pictures from the moments after they said 'I do'. The soap star, best known for his role as David Platt, looked dapper in a suit as he stood next to Hanni. The 37-year-old was seen wearing an off-white suit jacket over a black waistcoat and white shirt, completed with black trousers and a bow tie. Hanni, 36, looked stunning in a long white dress with a full skirt and an impressively long train. Her gown featured a lace, off-the-shoulder top with long sleeves, adding to her elegant bridal look. She finished off her outfit with a lengthy veil, held in place by a tiara. The newlyweds shared a romantic kiss on the steps of Manchester Cathedral, while their delighted guests showered them with confetti. Jack proposed to Hanni last year during a romantic safari trip in Tanzania. The pair had been colleagues on the popular soap before their relationship blossomed. The soap actor previously revealed that his participation in Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year was to help fund their extravagant wedding day, although he didn't anticipate winning the ITV reality show. In the run-up to their big day, the couple offered sneak peeks into their planning process, which they've been undertaking with the help of events company Taylor Lynn Corporation. Hanni shared highlights from the planning process on Instagram, including a photo of the day she said yes to the dress, as well as when she chose the wine for their wedding. She revealed charming details, such as how she and Jack "built our guest list in this cosy little cabin". As she celebrated the four-week countdown to her wedding in the post, she said: "Here's to four weeks of making special memories, feeling excited, nervous, overwhelmed, emotional, in love and everything else that comes with being a bride". Groom Jack responded with: "It's gonna be EPIC!". Meanwhile, Jack previously provided a glimpse into their wedding plans when asked on Good Morning Britain if he planned to invite his Celebrity Big Brother housemates to his big day. Jack admitted: "I don't think so. I've only known them three weeks and have a guest list a mile long." Jack and Hanni first met when his now-bride appeared on Coronation Street – she later worked on the soap as a storyline writer. However, sparks didn't fly until they reunited at a friend's wedding sometime later. Jack previously reminisced: "We got chatting, I made Hanni laugh, we had a couple of drinks and we flirted. That was it." The duo started seeing each other later that year after a chance encounter at a supermarket. Jack humorously commented on the awkwardness of their meeting, while Hanni was worried about her looks. However, Jack was completely taken with her, admitting: "I actually thought she looked fit I just saw the girl I fancy wearing lycra! We quickly went on our first date and we just clicked."

The six little-known Sky TV remote ‘codewords' to skip annoying ads, entertain your kids & unlock 5-star films instantly
TELLY fans can instantly upgrade their Sky-watching experience just by learning a few handy remote tricks. You can easily skip past ads, track down endless entertainment for your kids, and unlock the very best movies in a matter of seconds. It all works using the voice controls on Sky TV remotes. Most modern Sky telly remote controls feature a microphone button. You might have stared at it hundreds of times and never pressed it. But it can grant you dozens of different shortcuts – and I've picked out six of the best. If you get into the habit of using these special codewords and phrases, you'll save loads of time. SKY TV VOICE TRICK #1 – SKIP ADS First up is the ability to skip ads quickly. Now this won't work if you're watching live telly – but it's genius if you're viewing pre-recorded content. If you manually fast-forward through an ad break, it's pretty slow. But with the voice remote, you can just say: "Fast-forward three minutes." It'll whisk you right past the ads and back to your beloved telly. SKY TV VOICE TRICK #2 – TOP FLICKS You may have already known that you can search for movies with your voice by saying its name or asking for a genre. Sky customers can claim delicious freebies in new giveaway scheme But that might serve up some rubbish flicks that aren't worth your time. So instead, try asking for "movies rated five stars". That'll pull up a list of top-rated movies for your perusal, and hopefully ensure that you have a solid movie night. An alternative is to ask for "movies rated one star" if you want a bit of a laugh. 4 SKY TV VOICE TRICK #3 – FAST APPS Sometimes you're watching telly on a live channel or app and then want to view something else. Scrolling through menus and between apps can be a real faff. It's actually much quicker to just voice-request the name of the app. All you need to do is say "open Netflix" and it'll pop right up. You'll be shocked at how much time this can save you – but it's one of those tricks that you need to get into the habit of using, so you can really reap the rewards. SKY TV VOICE TRICK #4 – QUICK TELLY One of the biggest problems with watching TV in the modern age is the amount of choice you have. It can feel impossible to actually pick something because there's just endless telly out there. One solution to this is Sky's recommendation feature. 4 Just hit the microphone button and ask: "What should I watch?" This will feed you telly that you actually want to see based on your viewing habits. And it even works across Sky as well as third-party apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. SKY TV VOICE TRICK #5 – WORDS OFF Sometimes subtitles find themselves mysteriously activated and you can't work out why – or how to switch them off quickly. ANOTHER SKY TRICK TO TRY Earlier this week, we revealed a clever Sky trick... You can unlock loads of classic games on Sky for free. Just load up your Sky TV, go to the apps menu, and look for Games by It's packed with top games including retro titles like Pac-Man, Breakout, and Tetris. There are kids games too, and quizzes that you can play together as a family. You don't need a special controller. Instead you simply play using your Sky TV remote. The only catch? You'll have to sit through ads – but you won't pay a penny to play. Picture Credit: The Sun / Sky / Tetris And other times, you might want them on but can't remember how to bring them up. Rather than faffing around with settings, just use your voice. You can just ask for Sky to "turn subtitles on" or "turn subtitles off" and it'll happen in an instant. SKY TV VOICE TRICK #6 – FUN FOR KIDS It's summertime, which means many parents will be at home trying to entertain their children. 4 And Sky's telly service is jam-packed with kid-friendly content. If you want to find it all very quickly, simply say "Open Kids section". This will take you straight to a treasure trove of child-friendly telly that Sky has curated.

Jack P. Shepherd marries Hanni Treweek in 'no expense spared' Manchester wedding
Coronation Street favourite Jack P. Shepherd is officially a married man after tying the knot with fiancée Hanni Treweek in a lavish ceremony today. The David Platt actor, who has starred in the ITV soap since 2000, has been dating Hanni since 2017, having met the scriptwriter while she worked on Corrie. On June 5 last year, while on safari, he popped the question, and it's been all systems go for wedding prep ever since, with the lovebirds keeping their fans updated on dress fittings, cake tastings, and pre-parties galore while counting down the days. And this weekend, it all came to a head, as soap co-stars packed out Manchester Cathedral to celebrate their nuptials. Jack, 37, arrived at the venue with his mum and young son, Reuben, whom he shares with ex Lauren Shippey. Looking dapper in a cream tux, Jack added a stylish edge with a pair of shades. Pulling up in the coolest possible way, he sat backseat in a red Mustang car, beaming with excitement. Meanwhile, bride Hanni, 35, was seen arriving at the iconic Gothic venue with her flock of bridesmaids, who aided in carrying her extravagant train. She opted for an elegant lace gown, complete with intricate floral detailing and long sleeves. With a veil over her face, she wore natural yet glowing makeup, styled her raven locks in loose waves, and clutched a bouquet. In attendance were a whole host of familiar faces, including Craig Tinker actor Colson Smith and Ben Price, who plays Nick Tilsley. The close pals, who also co-host a podcast with Jack, arrived smiling from ear to ear, wearing matching suits and with flowers on their lapels to complement Hanni's arrangement. Other guests included Bethany Platt actress Lucy Fallon, who donned a very on-trend pastel yellow frock, while Sarah Platt's Tina O'Brien and Shona's Julia Goulding went for floor-length, ruffled ensembles. There was also Mikey North, who plays Gary Windass, Sally Dynevor, who plays Sally Webster, Jane Danson, who plays Leanne Battersby, and Alan Halsall, aka Tyrone Dobbs.

Completing the starry crowd were Maria Connor star Samia Longchambon, who was accompanied by her pro skater husband Sylvain, and Gail Platt legend Helen Worth, who recently bowed out of the soap after 50 years on screens. After Jack and Hanni exchanged vows, they emerged from the church to a shower of confetti, sharing a smooch in front of their nearest and dearest. Neither bride nor groom could've looked happier as their loved ones cheered and snapped photos.

'They have hired top Manchester security service Capricorn to make sure everything goes smoothly on the day, and after the ceremony, everyone will head to the five-star Lowry hotel for a lavish after-party. 'Drake is even staying there at the moment, so who knows, he may well end up crashing the bash.'
