Who is Remi Lambert? Love Island 2022 contestant and model from Manchester

The brand new series of Love Island is back, and the new contestants are already revealing who’s giving who the “ick”.

On Tuesday’s episode, Remi Lambert entered the throng, alongside fellow brand new bombshell Jay Younger.

Here’s everything you need to know about Remi Lambert...

Remi Lambert is a 22-year-old model from Manchester, who describes himself as “single AF!”.

Touching on a previous Love Island couple who’d inspired him to join the show with their strong bond, he said: “When I saw Molly [Mae Hague] and Tommy [Fury] and saw how strong they are together, I thought, ‘I want a love like that.’”

Before entering the villa, he revealed that his journey to the show had been started by being a faithful viewer of numerous previous seasons of the hit dating programme.

On what he thinks he’ll bring to the villa, he said: “I feel like I’m going to bring the goofy vibe, the fun vibe that everyone needs and the chilled person that everyone can talk to if anything is wrong.”

He’s also revealed that he thinks his single status is due to being extremely picky, and highly selective in his choices, saying: “I think it’s by choice – I’m too picky. She needs to be 10/10 for everything.

“And I’m 6ft 3,” he added. “I’d like a girl to be at least 5ft 10.”
