How old is Liam Llewellyn?
Liam Llewellyn is a 22-year-old masters student from South Wales.
He is the youngest male contestant to take part in this series of Love Island, while Gemma Owen is the youngest islander at the age of 19.
Why did Liam Llewellyn want to take part in Love Island?
Talking about his decision to enter the villa, he said: “I think 22 is a really nice age to meet someone, you’ve got your years ahead of you so you have time to experience stuff and grow together.”
He continued: “I think Love Island is a great opportunity to meet someone, you’re in with a load of different types, so you can get to grips with what you really like about people.”
What is Liam Llewellyn looking for in a partner?
Talking about his ideal type, he revealed: “They’d probably say quite generous, quite caring, happy, chatty, chirpy, bubbly.”
He added: “I wear my heart on my sleeve, I can’t hide how I feel about anyone. I’m probably quite emotional as well come to think about it.”
Talking about his flirting tactics, he said he’d probably “pay them a compliment!”
He explained: “The thing that girls quite like is that I’m not just like, ‘You’re mint.’ I’m like, ‘Your eyes are piercing, I’m lost in your eyes.’
“Or I’ll say something like, ‘You’ve got nice feet’ or something.”
Erm, well, good luck Liam – sounds like you’ll need it…
