From Tommy Fury to Gemma Owen
Having famous relatives seems to go a long way in getting into the Love Island villa in recent years, and in the 2022 series alone there will be three Islanders with famous parents.
Senior officials have openly admitted they scout the Islanders for the show in addition to the normal application process, and it's clear why they have signed the likes of Tommy Fury, Dani Dyer and Gemma Owen in the past.
Series 11 saw footballer Elliot Anderson's brother Will move into the villa, so we thought we'd take a look at past Islanders who have celebrity relatives…
