Who is Munveer Jabbal? Meet Love Island 2024 contestant and recruitment manager
Munveer is ready to bring his "cheesy" chat-up lines to the Love Island villa in 2024.
Sun, sand, sea and romance return to our screens next week, as the 11th season of Love Island begins on 3rd June.
Once again, the show will be presented by Maya Jama, who says she is "so excited" to return to the Mallorca sun and the famous villa.
Maya said: "I’ll be honest, I’m hoping for drama. I want loads of love and happy couples at the end, but I do want to be entertained, so I’m hoping for lots of fiery moments."
Despite looking for that extra sprinkle of drama, she shared her advice for this year's contestants, and said simply: "Just go for it!"
One contestant who could use her advice is Munveer Jabbal, who explained he is "quite picky" when it comes to the women he dates.
