The last series of Love Island had one of the most chaotic cast members of all time.

During series 11 we had Harriett Blackmore strutting around the villa like she was on the runway, Joey Essex causing absolute havoc and Mimii Ngulube being the ultimate babe.

And while lots of bombshells went under the radar with hardly any screen time (justice for Konnor Ewudzi), some of them made their mark - think Grace Jackson, Jessica Spencer and Wil Anderson.

Love Island 2024 might be over but let's be honest, our obsession with them has just begun. So, here's everything you need to know about Islander Wil...

Why did Wil Anderson go on Love Island?

Wil told producers, "I wanted to be single for the last year because I’ve been in two serious relationships from the age of 18 but now, I feel like it’s time to put myself back out there.

"I want to feel that love again."

He went on to say he was single by choice. "I could definitely be in a relationship if I wanted to be. I’m super picky but I don’t think that's a bad thing because it’s worth waiting to get exactly what it is you are looking for," he admitted.
