Let’s meet all the islanders.
First up is Kyannah Mizzi Debono, a 19-year-old who is “hard to get and naqa ta’ flirt”.
Kyannah shared she loves the chase and will certainly be bringing the flirty vibes to the villa. She also said the thing which impacts men the most is the “look” she has in her eyes.
Kyannah made it clear: younger guys and no tattoos are a no-go for her!
She’s got her eyes set on someone tall, and while good boys may not be her usual type, she’s keeping an open mind

Kyonne Gravina was the next islander to be announced by the show.
18-year-old Kyonne works as a personal trainer and also promotes parties. He said he doesn’t really have a type and a girl’s character is very important to him.
“People’s first impressions is always ‘This guy looks like a jerk, annoying and egotistic’ that’s what they always tell me at parties,” Kyonne said.
When asked if this true, Kyonne replied that it is not true but he does have a bit of an ego and once people get to know him they realise he is not like that.
“I am not my father, I am me, Kyonne. A different person,” Gravina said as revealed he is constantly judged for his family’s history which he has no control over.
At just 18 years old, Kyonne isn’t too picky when it comes to type, but there are a few traits he’s got his eye on!
He’s leaning towards someone older, maybe even blonde, and if she’s shorter than him, even better!

“Usually men like my patata but they also like my personality”
She’s looking for someone taller than her, with a bit of edge – tattoos are a must!
While she’s not looking for grand romantic gestures, she’s definitely open to someone cute and younger.

The last islander to be announced was Alessandro Ebejer who is a 25-year-old gamer.
I’m known as ‘The Punisher’, this is my nickname from FIFA. A lot of people from these tournaments didn’t even keep calling me Aless or Alessandro but they call me the Punisher.”
“Even in my love life I am a bit of gamer. I like to change things up a bit.”
Alessandro is looking to end his situationships as he makes way to the villa.
Older ladies? He is all for it! Plus points if she’s cute without makeup and a blonde, but brunettes are welcome too.
Partying is a must, but height? Nope, shorter is sweeter for Alessandro.
