Love Island reveals second contestant as hunky PE teacher Kai Fagan as 2023 line-up announced

Publish date: 2024-08-20

LOVE Island has announced Kai Fagan as its second 2023 contestant.

The 24-year-old Science and PE teacher, from Manchester, is sure to turn the girls' heads in the South African manor house.

The buff rugby player has already changed his social media profile to his Love Island snap and written: "I’m off to find love in the @loveisland villa. See you soon!"

And he could be hard to please after admitting he he has high standards.

He says: "I’m single by choice. I’m looking for the right girl. I feel like I have quite high expectations. I don’t feel I should commit to someone unless I’m absolutely buzzing over them, because it’s not fair on them."

Kai will join biomedical science student Tanya Manhenga, 22, in the villa next Monday.

His confirmation as the second contestant comes after new host Maya Jama touched down in South Africa over the weekend ready for the January 16 launch night.

Kai isn't the first PE teacher to try their luck on the dating show.

Hugo Hammond traded the classrooms of the exclusive Blundell’s School in Devon for the villa luxury in the summer of 2021.

He proved a hit with viewers but struggled to find romance before he was sent packing as a single man following a string of unsuccessful partnerships.
