Who is Konnor from Love Island? Age, background and more

Well, despite our best intentions, we are back in the Love Island Obsession, tune in every night at 9pm to watch people mate and cum. With Joey Essex being the true threat that he is, it’s safe to say that this year’s Casa Amor is proving to be an exciting one, with everyone from Sean to Ayo potentially turning heads. But where is Konnor in all this and who is he really? Here’s what you need to know about the Islander.

How old is Konnor from Love Island?

Konnor is 28. Speaking about what makes him a good catch, he told ITV ahead of his stay in the villa: “I have a different look and style to a lot of other people. I’m a former tour guide so I love chatting to people and I’m full of energy. I haven’t found anyone who has the same charisma as me and I’m waiting for the right girl.”

Where does Connor come from?

What is Konnor’s job?

He is a hairdresser, but he used to be a musician. “I can sing and write music, which is what I used to do,” he revealed. “I can sing a few bars at the talent show.”

What has happened so far for Konnor on Love Island?

Konnor joined the Love Island Villa as a bomb, in the days before Casa Amor. He threw the villa into disarray by hooking up with Grace Jackson – who was dating Joey Essex at the time – with Joey actually later hooking up with Jessy again.

Now, however, the original men and women for Casa Amor have been split up: Grace and Jessy are moving into a second villa with six new men, and Joey and Konnor are joined by six new women.

While Joey encouraged the others to keep going, Konnor seemed conspicuously absent – ​​until he made a surprise advance on bombshell Emma, ​​a 30-year-old fashion content creator from Manchester.

What is Konnor’s Instagram name?

You can find Konnor on Instagram at @konnorewudzi where he shares content about fashion and rugby. Nice.

Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2.
