January 2020 treated us to the first EVER winter series of the show - and it was just as well, really, because a global pandemic and 16 month lockdown in March meant that our fave series was well and truly #cancelled for the summer 2020 series.
Thankfully, the winter series - set in South Africa to combat Mallorca's mild winter climes – gave us more than enough eye candy and big characters to see us through to 2021.
One of our faves (although, admittedly, after he mugged off our girl crush Shaughna Phillips he most certainly was NOT) was Callum Jones.
Who is Callum Jones?
Callum was a scaffolder from Manchester, but despite the hands-on nature of his job admitted that his worst habit is being lazy at work.
Lucky he's now a full time influencer, then, with an impressive 829k followers on the 'gram.
What is Callum from Love Island's age?
Callum is 25 years old.
Where is Callum Jones from?
Despite his very Welsh sounding name, Callum actually lives in Manchester, and after leaving with fellow Mancunian Molly Smith on his arm, has since moved back to the city.
