What does Toby Aromolaran do for a living?

Toby is a semi-pro footballer. Talking about his love of the game, Toby says: “I’ve played football since I was about six, but it’s really come into a new light for the past year since I joined a team called Hashtag United. They’re very social media focused. Everything is on YouTube, Instagram and Twitter. Playing with them has really made me fall in love with the game again.”

What is Toby looking for in a partner?

Well, as Toby hasn’t actually dated anyway one before he probably doesn’t entirely know. He is a chap who seems to see the brighter side of life. Asked how his friends and family would describe him, Toby replies: “Optimistic. I always see the bright side in the worst situations. I’m a fun guy when I go on a night out. Responsible guy as well.”

But will he still as optimistic after Love Island? Will he finally find his first partner? Or will he be leaving the villa heartbroken?

Love Island starts at 9pm on Monday 28 June on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox.
