New Love Island bombshell Zachariah Noble believes in 'love at first sight'

Zachariah Noble believes in "love at first sight".

The new 'Love Island' bombshell - who will enter the villa tonight (06.06.23) and be able to steal any girl in the villa from their partner - has insisted love is "something that happens" naturally rather than being forced.

Before heading into the villa, the personal trainer said: ""I do believe in love at first sight, I think that you can sense people’s energies as soon as you meet them.

"Love isn’t something you pick to be in, it’s something that happens when it happens...

"I wouldn’t say I’m closed off but I like things to be really natural and organic."

While he isn't there to cause drama, he does want to find the right woman for him.

Asked why he signed up to the ITV dating show, the 25-year-old romantic explained how he wants to step out of his "comfort zone".

He added: "I always say, ‘you only grow as a person when you take yourself out of your comfort zone’ and I think it’s something that’s so far out of my comfort zone, I’d be silly not to give it a go."

He also claimed he'll bring a "rare" trait to the villa.

He said: "I’m a very chilled out guy and I’m completely myself 100 percent of the time...

"In this day and age, I think being genuine is rare and I’m very genuine. What you see is what you get."

The show returned to ITV2 on Monday (05.06.23) and after revealing all of the initial Islanders had been coupled up by the public, host Maya Jama allowed the girls not entirely happy with their partners to nominate themselves as single before revealing Zachariah's twist.

She said: "Now, I know you didn't choose your partners because the public did that for you. Sometimes you have to follow your heart which means you have to take a risk. Ask yourself this - are you happy or could you be happier? I have the ultimate dare for you! Girls, if you're not sure you're with the right person, I dare you to step forward now!"

Jess Harding - who had initially been paired up with George Fensom - stepped forward after hinting that she wasn't entirely happy, adding: "I just don't think there's that connection there. Everything that someone else could could be there but it's not for me."

'Love Island' continues tomorrow at 9PM on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player, proudly sponsored by Virgin Media Mobile.

The reality show can also be seen on ITV2.
