Among them is Irish rugby player Conor Phillips – who was drafted in to the villa as a replacement for axed Kyle Ashman.
Original star Kyle, 23, was struck from the dating show line-up after it was revealed that he had been held and questioned by police over a machete attack at a wake.
Speaking to press, Conor revealed the most unusual place he’s had sex.
The 25-year-old shared: “Probably behind a nightclub, I think, is the craziest, to be honest.
“I know it’s nothing too crazy. I was young as well.”
Meanwhile, Conor also discussed how his mother feels about him joining Love Island.
He said: “It’s a weird one for parents. My mam will be quite reserved and lowkey. So, it’s a bit out of her comfort zone.
“But again, she knew that I’m an adult, so I’m going to make my own decision, and she’s going to support me.
“And she has supported me. But yeah, it’s a bit of a weird one, isn’t it, if your child decides to do something like this.”
Revealing his preparations for the villa, Conor shared: “I had budgie smugglers in my hand. I just thought of everyone else who is going to be watching the show and said no.
“I put them down. It would have been too stereotypical rugby player. In terms of getting ready for the show, I actually haven’t changed any diet, or any gym routine.
“I train quite heavily anyway, so that side of it was taken care of.”
He also reflected on past relationships, remarking: “I’ve only had one. It just didn’t work out, because it was my first one. I was 23 as well, so single my whole life.
“I probably just didn’t want to get in a relationship, because I didn’t want to have that commitment. I’m an only child.
“I’ve never really had to answer to many people and stuff. So then when I had to tell this person everything I was doing, it was just a bit heavy on me.
“And we lived four hours away from each other. The distance was too much.
It comes as he previously admitted to breaking a show rule after having signed up.
Islanders are forbidden from revealing their involvement in the series before entering the villa.
However, Conor revealed he’d sought the advice of past winner Greg O’Shea, a fellow Irish rugby player.
He told press: “I know Greg through rugby circles so I spoke to him about going on Love Island.
