17 Jan 2023

Love Island is back and Haris Namani is one of the 10 original Islanders that burst onto our screens when the popular dating programme returned to ITV2 on Monday, January 16. Described by friends and family as "confident, funny and memorable" - Haris is hoping to find the one in the South African villa.

Haris, who is currently coupled up with Swansea contestant Anna-May Robey, said of joining the winter edition of Love Island: "I’ve never found love. I think this is the show that can help me. It’s the best opportunity for me to find the girl and find the right one. I’ve obviously not found the right one myself."

Asked why he's single, Haris said: "I’m not too sure. I’ve never been turned down by a girl. I know it can happen, but my strike rate is 100%. I’ve just not found the spark."

Haris is a 21-year-old TV salesman from Doncaster. Asked what he'll bring to the villa, Haris said: "I’m different, I’m a unique guy, the way I act; confident, not awkward, especially with the girls.

"I’m friendly, I’m very respectful as well. Anyone who meets me, I don’t think they have anything bad to say about me. I don’t give them that bad impression to say, ‘Oh, I don’t want to speak to him again.’"

Aked what his claim to fame is, Haris said: "My mum tells me that I look like Ronaldo."

Is Haris Namani on Instagram?

You can find Haris at haris_namanii, however, his profile will remain dormant while he is in the villa. Usually, family members and friends take over the contestants' accounts while they are on the show, but the broadcaster has confirmed that nothing will be published on the Islanders' behalf this year.

The change is part of Love Island's duty of care measures and aims to protect both the islanders and their families from the adverse effects of social media. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
