LOVE Island 2024 is almost upon us, as a whole host of new islanders prepare to enter the famous villa.

Jess White has been confirmed as one of the new stars of series 11. Here’s what we know about her.

Who is Love Island 2024 contestant Jess White?

Jess White is 25 years old and hails from Stockport.

Jess says that she wanted to do the show as all of her friends are in long term relationships and she didn’t want to be left behind.

I think that can sometimes put people off me because I am quite loud and you can hear me before you see me. Some men love that though.

She said: “All my friends are in relationships, settled down with babies and I’m going to end up that aunt that rocks up at family parties and they say ‘she’s still not met someone, she’s still going to Ibiza having a midlife crisis.’

“I just want to meet somebody and to be able to do all of that stuff too.”

Jess went onto describe why she thinks she is single ahead of her appearance on the show.

She said: “I think I’m single because I don’t underestimate the fact that I’m hard work.

I know what I want and I’m not easily pleased. When you’re a loud, outgoing woman, sometimes it can intimidate men – men don’t always want that.

I think that can sometimes put people off me because I am quite loud and you can hear me before you see me. Some men love that though.”

What does Jess White do for a living?

Jess works as a retail manager.

She has outlined her expectations for any potential lovers that she meets on the show.

She said: “I would say nice teeth, I love a set of white Turkey teeth but a good set of Turkey teeth. I would say personality traits, you have to be family orientated.

“I’m so close to my mum and I’d like my future partner to be really close with their family too. You have to be tall, you can’t be shorter than me, I can’t be having to question whether I can wear heels around you and what height of heels I can wear.

If you’re vertically challenged, it’s not for me.”

When is Jess White on Love Island?

The new series of Love Island will start on June 3, 2024 at 9pm.

Jess will be one of the first Islanders to enter the villa for series 11.

She will be joined by ten other singletons hoping it will be a summer to remember.

As the weeks go by, they will be joined by a host of other bombshells which is sure to stir up drama and tension.

The Sun revealed how the iconic villa has undergone a makeover in preparation for the brand new series.

How do you watch Love Island 2024?

For launch night, The Sun revealed that ITV bosses are planning a huge shake-up that has never been done before.

The first episode of Love Island 2024 will air on ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX simultaneously, with the rest of the series being shown on ITV2 and ITVX.

The show will air at 9pm, Sunday to Friday.

A highlights programme from events during the week will be shown instead of the normal show on Saturdays.

A source said: “ITV want to throw their weight behind Love Island and make sure it has a big, glitzy moment when the 11th series kicks off next month.

“Showing it across every channel means creating what they hope will be a big TV moment. It shows there is still a real commitment to the format even nine years on.”
