New islanders set to enter the villa for Love Island 2025
Love Island is back with its newest bombshell, Shea Mannings, who in barely 10 minutes of airtime, has already piqued the interest of fans.
This brown-eyed stunner entered the villa on episode 3 on the 11th June, with fellow bombshell Remell Mullins.
With viewers across the nation curious about Shea, it is only right that we give you all the details on the latest bombshell including his age, football career & what he’s said about being a dad.
Shea is a scaffolder from, Bristol.
He also is a semi-professional footballer, having played at quite a few different teams across the south of the country.
He currently plays in the eighth highest league in UK football.
He has always tried to pursue football, even playing football in the US back in 2018.
Shea is 25 years old.
His birthday is the 15th September, making him a Virgo.
He himself has said that he is of an age where he is ‘looking for something serious’.
He said: “ I’m 25 now, so I want to be settling down and have someone always by my side. “
This Islander plays football for a local club in Swindon, not too far from his hometown of Bristol.
The team is the Swindon Supermarine’s, and he plays as a striker.
Shea at 25 years old, is a father, and has one child.
His son is almost 5 years old and was born in 2020.
The pair have a very cute bond!
In an interview prior to him walking into the villa, he said: “I have a little boy, so I’ll be taking him into consideration with who I couple up with, too.”
It is clear that he’s been a hit with viewers so hopefully we get to learn even more about this scaffolder over the coming weeks,
