It’s the summer of love – because ITV2’s popular dating show Love Island is back.
Yep, we’re off to Mallorca for several weeks of villa antics – including couplings, dramatic recouplings, Casa Amor shockers and more – just a couple of months after the winter series in South Africa ended.
If you’re a fan of the show, you may have already spotted that the starting line-up for summer 2023 has been revealed.
But if you’re wondering how old the cast this year are, we’ve got you covered.
Let’s take a look…
How old are the Love Island 2023 cast members?
This year’s first 10 contestants range in age from early 20s to mid 20s – 21 to 26 to be precise.
The youngest cast members at age 21 are Molly Marsh, who is a musical theatre performer and social media content creator from Doncaster, and Dudley-based business owner André Furtado.

Molly lives on a farm with her family, and describes herself as ‘old fashioned’ as someone who steers clear of dating apps – while André says he’s ‘quick to fall in love’ and will ‘plant a field full of strawberries’ as a way to romance a future girlfriend.
On the older end are 26-year-old gas engineer and self-proclaimed ‘gentleman’ Mitchel Taylor, from Sheffield, and French-speaking communications manager Mehdi Edno, who lives between London and Bordeaux.
