Fans of Love Island have been expressing confusion over a new arrival, and we’re with them.

When Ryan Weekley turned up in Casa Amor, fans were quick to take to social media to say how they can’t believe that he wasn’t in the villa from day one.

One fan tweeted, “Ryan has twice the personality of half the main islanders why wasn’t he in the OG cast?"

Another said, “Someone better take Ryan to the main villa #LoveIsland”, along with a picture of Zara Lackenby-Brown sipping on a drink.

Someone else wrote, “He’s p***ed me off every day but I actually miss Ron [Hall]. I think Ryan would get on with the other boys though shame he wasn’t an OG.”.

Who is Ryan Weekley?

Ryan, 22, is a steel erector from Nottingham.

What does Ryan want from his time on the show?

He said, “I’m excited because you’ve got to graft straight away. I’m excited to go in there, have some fun and hopefully find a nice girl.”

What kind of islander will he be?

Ryan seems to have plenty of tricks up his sleeve as he plans to be “cheeky”.

I’m going to be funny and bring good energy. I’ll also be cheeky as well.”

What does Ryan play to use as his dating technique?

“I like to play it cool, let a girl know if I’m interested but I’d never put pressure on anything. I do like eye contact. Tom’s been doing it a fair bit in there and girls seem to like it.”

Does Ryan have his eyes set on a girl who’s already in the villa?

Yes, he does. This cheeky chappy says that he likes the look of Samie Elishi.

“Samie, because she’s great to look at and I think we’d have the same interests. We both want to travel, so I’d love to travel around the world with her.”
