She is a business development manager, and also a qualified doctor, making her official name Dr. Priya Gopaldas.
Priya entered as a bombshell alongside Kavan Murphy, set up on a double-date with Samraj Toor.
She said: "I wouldn’t say I’m here for the drama, however I definitely can’t hide how I am feeling. If I think something, whether that be about someone else's drama or my own drama or if I feel a certain way, best believe that is getting known. I’m very opinionated but I’m not necessarily here for the drama."
Kavan Murphy
Kavan is an electrician from Kent.
The 21-year-old had a dramatic entrance as it was revealed he is fellow 2026 Islander Aidan Murphy's brother.
Entering during Episode 4, Kavan was set up on a double alongside bombshell Priya Gopaldas.
Kavan dated his brother's recent dumped other half, Ellie Chadwick, making for an interesting turn of events!

Yasmin Hadlow
Yasmin is a 23-year-old from Kent.
The bombshell works as a recruitment consultant and loves a man with an accent!
She said: "I love an accent - anyone who's got an accent - could be Irish, a Manchester accent, I love it. Also tall. I’m really, really small, but I love someone who's just really tall next to me, and can look after me, that kind of thing."
George Knight - LEFT THE VILLA
George is from Winchester and is 28 years old.
He is a footballer who knows what he wants.
He said: "I like natural, well-spoken, well-presented girls. I don’t want too much energy or the loudest girl in the room, I don’t like all of that."
Ope Sawande
Ope is a 27-year-old West End Performer.
The hunk hails from Lincolnshire and is here for the love, not the drama!
He's confident in himself and isn't planning on playing it safe.
Ope said: "I like shorter girls, I’m really big on hair, good teeth and a nice smile. I prefer Northerners because they’ve got better crack. That’s just a fact. I haven’t really got a type, I honestly just go on energy, vibes and if you find my jokes funny."
Jasmine Müller
Jasmine is a 27-year-old from Dubai who currently lives in London.
The Fashion Business owner is confident and doesn't think that there is any competition when it comes to her.
She is the designated 'auntie' of her friendship group so she is here for all the drama but the love also.

Aidan Murphy
Aidan is a Property Broker from Kent.
The 23-year-old isn't an experienced dater and is hoping the Villa is the place for him to find the one.
That being said, he does love a bit of drama, and is confident he has what it takes.
Aidan said: "Personality is the most important thing for me. Obviously, I know if I find someone physically attractive but if we’re not connecting, laughing, and having a good time, it just wouldn’t work for me. I like someone who’s fun, can take a joke and doesn’t take themselves too seriously. If we’re constantly laughing and getting on, that’s what matters most."
Lola Deal
Lola is a 28-year-old detective from Kent.
The bombshell knows exactly what she's looking for, and that comes in the package of an Italian stallion if she could pick.
While she's not 'overly into the drama,' she is putting all her energy into taking the show seriously in order to find her man.
Lola said: "If someone says they are a cheeky chappy that makes me sick to my core. It’s such a thing people say and I’m like don’t ever say that again, horrible! My big ick is backpacks, but nobody is going to have a backpack on in there! With a backpack there’s too many things that can go wrong, I’m like “angel, stop”."
Samuel Workman
Samuel is 25 years old and from Dudley.
He's an electrician who is 'going straight for the goal' and isn't afraid to not be nonchalant.
Samuel said: "My type on paper would be someone classy, mature, blonde, fun, and someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously. I like people who can let their hair down and enjoy themselves."
Angelista
Angelista is a 24-year-old nurse from Staffordshire.
The stunner is not a fan of attention hoggers and is planning on watching the drama from the sidelines - we shall see how that works out!
She said: "I back my flirting game. It’s not too much, it’s a nice in the middle, it’s smooth. I think I’m alright! I’ll put myself in the position to be seen by the guys so they know I’m interested, but I’m not gonna beg it. I’ll be in the mix, 100%, I’m not watching in the back."
Sean Fitzgerald
Sean is a 25-year-old from Galway, Ireland.
The Irish charmer is a primary school teacher, who is not asking for much; when describing his type, he simply said 'female'.

Ellie Chadwick
Ellie is a 24-year old Real Estate videographer.
The bombshell comes from West Lothian in Scotland and is looking for a guy who is not too overconfident.
She said: "There’s nothing else I can do than be me. People love me and if they don’t then they’re clearly not okay. Listen, we’re all there for one reason, but I’m going to get my win."
Samraj Toor
Samraj is a 25-year-old model from Birmingham.
He doesn't have a speciifc type, but defiently isn't looking for the loudest girl in the room.
He said: "Without sounding arrogant, in the outside world I don’t really chase that much, I’m used to girls coming to me. I know in the Villa it’s a different dynamic. In the beginning I’m not going to be pushing myself out there, I’m just gonna watch and see who I like and then go from there."
Robyn Langton
Robyn is one of the younger Islanders this year at 21 years old.
She is a quantity surveyor and a DJ from Liverpool.
The socuser is all about a man who has these qualities: tall, fair, muscles, nice teeth, pretty boy.
She said: "Finding love is my only goal. There may be a little bit of drama but I’m going in there for myself so I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do. But I would like to think I’m a girl’s girl and that I handle situations quite well. I’ve got a mature brain."
Lorenzo Alessi
Lorenzo is a 28-year-old business owner from Heartfordshire.
Traditionally, he is into blonde posh girls, but the Villa may surprise him.
He doesn't like it when someone doesn't have manners, but is a bit of a teaser himself.
He said: "I’m very much a self deprecating person, so if me and another guy were interested in the same girl I’d encourage her to go and speak to him, that’s how I’d navigate the situation. Sometimes it ends up working, reverse psychology!"
Mica Harris
Mica is a 21-year-old student.
Originally from Barbados, the now London-resident is looking for a tall buff guy that can make her laugh.
She's not someone who shies away from, he drama but promises she's there for love as well!
Mica said: "I’m going to try to be as respectful as possible. If I’m going after someone’s man, I’m going to do it in a respectful way but I’m still ultimately trying to get what I want. It’s super important that I get along with the girls there."
