Hugh (24) from Mona Vale, NSW, will join the Love Island Australia Villa tonight after being recruited for the show through Tinder.
The Northern Beaches carpenter is the second Australian Islander to be recruited directly through Tinder, as the app came on board as the official casting partner of the show earlier this year.
Hugh is ready to shake things up in the Villa, revealing that he hasn’t been in a relationship for a few years and feels like he is ready to settle down by finding love on the show.
Speaking to Tinder, Hugh said, “I haven’t been in a relationship in a few years and feel like I’m ready to settle – what a unique way to find love? On Love Island…”
He also noted an interesting fact about himself: his long nipples (yes, you read that right).
For anyone confused, Hugh said: “I’ve got some seriously long nipples and my mates will continually remind me of them. They’re long enough that I’ve been able to hang a bunch of things off them such as coat hangers and disks. Let’s hope they’re a hit in the villa!”
Hugh was selected from many Tinder members who applied for this year’s Love Island Australia through the app. The process attracted hundreds of thousands of applications from across Australia, and also resulted in heart-throb, Nicolas Love, entering the Villa earlier in the season.
On tonight’s episode, Bombshell Hugh will get a peek into the Villa from the outside by jumping on Tinder where he will be able to match with profiles of Islanders who catch his attention to go on a date with.
Hugh is looking forward to his stint on the show, sharing that his personality in the Villa will bring, “A breath of fresh air. I think I’m a pretty typical Aussie battler that loves having a laugh and spinning a yarn or two. I don’t take myself too seriously and can be a little bit cheeky so hopefully that’ll help me win someone over”.
This bombshell news further cements Tinder’s partnership with Love Island Australia, with the app recently launching ‘Swipe Island’, the ultimate virtual Love Island Australia experience, available exclusively on Tinder every Monday night during Love Island Australia season three.
You can watch Love Island Australia season three on Channel 9 and 9Now.
