NEW Islander Ronnie Vint looks set to have some serious celebrity backing this series – and not just from Olivia Attwood.
The hunky singleton, who was best man at Olivia’s wedding to footballer Bradley Dack, will be entering the Love Island villa in just a matter of days.
And it’s now been revealed the footballer also good mates with Vicky Pattison’s fiancé Ercan Ramadan and former Islander Tyrique Hyde.
Ronnie has been pictured on a night out with Ercan in the past and Tyrique commented on one of his posts in the past: “Goals get girls.”
The 27-year-old, who plays for Lewes FC in East Sussex, discussed his friendship with show legend Olivia before the new series kicks off.

He said: “Bradley Dack is my best friend and he and Olivia are a big part of my life.
“I call Olivia my big little sister, she always looks out for me.”
When asked about why he's single and what he's looking for in a partner, Ronnie said: "I’ve had two serious relationships in the past, but more recently have enjoyed being single and doing my own thing as I’ve been focussed on my football career.
"I’ve got to the age where I want to find the right person I can build a life with.
"I want someone that's family orientated, caring and career minded.
"Lookwise, I like blondes with nice boobs but am partial to a brunette too."
But he hasn’t won over viewers in his first VT for the show, as he described himself as a "proper geezer" who's "good with the women".
"My success rate is about 98%," he said. "I've been single for four years. I've had my fair share in that time."
Adding he wants someone to bring home to mum and dad, he said: "No one's gonna be safe until I find the right one. It's gonna be carnage."
Fans thought the tape was "cocky" and branded him a "red flag" for already using predatory language.

"Noone is safe? Huh... weird choice of words" wrote one fans, with others thinking the same.
"Why does love island insist on putting these playboys on the show, if they are seriously trying to find love for everyone?" said another. "Heartbreak hotel more like."
