But there’s already a lot to be said about Ollie Williams – one of the hunky new contestants set to star on the ITV2 reality show’s winter series.

Lording around: Ollie Williams – one of the hunky new contestants set to star on Love Island 2020 – has already caught attention for the fact that he is heir to the Lanhydrock Estate in Cornwall
And his social media accounts show off his lavish lifestyle further – including exotic holidays with football heiresses, yacht trips and sprawling country estates.
‘My father is Lord of the Manor of Lanhydrock. The family title is Viscount Clifden. When my father passes away or abdicates, as the eldest child, I will take on the titles and the estate. I’m the heir of Lanhydrock,’ Ollie has explained ahead of his Love Island debut.
‘Best chat up line I’ve ever used is, “Do you know Polzeath beach in Cornwall? I own it.” That’s it. Chat up line, done.’
It’s estimated that the private unlimited company that owns Lanhydrock is worth around £9.2 million. It’s run by Ollie’s father Andrew, 52.

The estate features ‘a variety of businesses, farm land, buildings, houses and offices over some 2500 acres in Lanhydrock and the surrounding area’.
Ollie already boasts a social media following of nearly 10,000.
The ‘alpha male’ is not afraid of stripping down to his underwear to showcase his incredibly toned physique, and often posts snaps from his wild nights out with his pals.
Socialite Ollie studied a Bachelor of Science degree in criminology at Royal Holloway University in London and currently works as a junior estate manager at Lanhydrock.

His Instagram is littered with trips to far-flung locations, such as Australia, Paris and Ibiza – the latter of which he was a guest of football manager Roman Abramovich’s daughter Sofia.
As well as enjoying time aboard a yacht with Sofia and friends, he went Kayaking and cliff diving with her as well as travelling to Paris with four other friends on what appeared to be a Valentines trip in February 2016.
He was also pictured with some of his male friends on quad bikes and credited Sofia with letting him use them in March 2016.

Sofia has liked a lot of Ollie’s insta posts including one of him showing off his six pack in the gym. The 25 year old is currently believed to be single and Ollie, 23, is now looking for love on the ITV show.
