Footballer and model Harrison Solomon has become the latest bombshell to enter the Love Island 2025 villa.
“I’m excited – I just want to get in there. I’m buzzing to go in,” he said about entering the villa." “There’s a lot of girls in there that are my type. It could get a little busy, honestly.”
He could also be a serious drama magnet, as he's already made it clear that he's not afraid to break up one of the couples, as he has said: "I’m not here to make friends."
Who is Love Island's Harrison Solomon?
One of the youngest contestants in the villa, Harrison Solomon is 22 years old. While he's originally from Derby in England, he currently lives Florida.
Solomon is based in the US as he's a US college soccer (football) player, as well as being a student at University of New Hampshire.
Harrison Solomon on what he's looking for in a Love Island match
“Personality is a big thing, so it depends who I vibe with in there,” he has said. "I need someone who is fiery and got a bit of an attitude. I don’t want someone boring in the corner. I want someone who has got a bit of substance and voices their opinion.
“Confidence, being family oriented is a big one for me and someone who is ambitious, too,” he added. “I like a challenge, I like a bit of the chase.”
He's not into “stuck up and rude” potential matches, and is keen for his partner to have at least some interest and knowledge in football. “Girls I’ve dated before have been into it," he says. "My perfect situation is for them to come with my family, watch me play and understand – at least slightly – what’s going on.”
Unlike fellow contestant Toni, he's into the American dating vibe. Will he try and match with her?
“I do really like American girls,” he has said. “Their personality is slightly different, in general they’re more confident and go for what they want.”
When asked about whether he'd relocate back to the UK for the right person, Harrison responded: "I’ve done long distance before so it’s not really an issue for me. I don’t know if or when I’m going back to America. But that’s not an issue. If you like a person you’ll make it work."
When it comes to the ick, Harrison doesn't like it “when girls have celebrity crushes”.
“If I’m with a girl I want them to have eyes for me, not talking about another guy when we’re watching a film!”
From a footballer's body double to a female “CEO of empowerment”.
