Although he’s still in his early twenties, Reece insisted he’s ready to settle down: ‘I am mature enough now. I was a bit of a ‘Jack the lad’ and a player but now I feel like I am more mature and ready to find love.’

During the episode the bombshells make their way into the Villa, upon entering 25-year-old dancer Lacey says: ‘I am a sexy, single, show girl ready to turn some heads.’

The beauty added that she thinks her background as a dancer will help her on the show, saying: ‘I’ve grown up at auditions with a thousand girls competing for five places and if you don’t want it and you’re not competitive, there’s no point showing up.

‘I feel like it’s the same with guys within this context, we’ve all gone in to find someone and just because I am coming in later does not mean that I am not going to give it my all.’ 

27-year-old professional footballer Jamie comments: ‘I shoot, I usually score, if I want something, I’ll go and get it.’

Jamie also said that, as he is entering the villa at a later stage, he’ll have no problem stepping on the other guys’ toes to get the girl he wants.
