Among those set to spend two months at their South African villa is TV salesman Namani, who, like former contestants Tommy Fury, Jack Fincham and Idris Virgo, is also a boxer.<\/p>\n

Before appearing on the hit show, the Doncaster man revealed that his mother often told him he looked just like football legend Cristiano Ronaldo, which helped his relationships with women.<\/p>\n

Namani said: I know it can happen, but my strike rate is 100%.<\/p>\n

“Didn’t find the spark. I’ve never taken a girl home. I don’t say I’m in love until I take her to see my mom and dad, or my sisters and brothers.” \u201d<\/p>\n

Despite claiming he doesn’t have a suitable girlfriend, Namani was recently caught in a media storm when he posted a series of TikTok videos suggesting that Courtney Hodgson was a couple.<\/p>\n

The model wrote below an Instagram post announcing that Harris is a Love Island contestant.<\/p>\n
