Love Island’s Casa Amor returned with a vengeance at the end of Friday night’s episode of the ITV2 show.
Casa Amor is known for being the catalyst for the beginning – and the ending – of some of the series’ most solid romances. In “Casa Amor,” the male and female islanders are separated without warning and introduced to sexy new singles.
In a move no one could have foreseen, global superstar Ne-Yo took the girls to a series of hot new bombshell guys after a stunning performance.
After Ne-Yo got the girls to go outside to take a picture, he rushed into a cab that was emblazoned with “Casa VIPs.”
Viewers saw Kodie Murphy, Ouzy See, Zachary Ashford, Elom Ahlijah-Wilson, Lochan Nowacki and Benjamin Noel enter the mansion in the exciting twist.
But who are the boys from Casa Amor? The six guys hoping to turn heads include a soccer player who already knows Ella Thomas, two very gifted fitness pros and an influencer.

Kody Murphy
NAME: Kody Murphy
AGE: 20
FROM: Birmingham
EMPLOYMENT: Social media marketer
WHY ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO CASA AMOR? I love a challenge and can’t wait to bring out my flirtatious, sassy side. When you enter Casa Amor the pressure is not so much, you can just go in and have fun. I’ll definitely be a little mischievous.
How can you turn people’s heads? I’m going to go in there and be my big, bubbly, sassy self – I definitely know what I want. You have to put it on a little thicker inside Casa Amor than outside, which will be different for me, but I’m confident in tackling things. I work well under pressure so don’t worry.
Ouzy See
NAME: Ouzy Lake
AGE: 28
FROM: Edinburgh
Occupation: soccer player, craftsman and model
WHY ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO CASA AMOR? I’m curious to see which girls are ready to turn heads. If anyone could do it, it’s me. My chat is great and I think on paper I will definitely be the majority of girls writing.
How can you turn people’s heads? I want to get to know everyone first and then let my favorites know early on that I’m interested in gauge their reaction. Then I can take it from there…
Zachary Ashford
NAME: Zachary Ashford
AGE: 27
FROM: Manchester
EMPLOYMENT: Senior Sales Executive
WHY ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO CASA AMOR? I’m really looking forward to stepping into Casa Amor. I look forward to the romance novels but the main thing is that to be honest I can make a difference and date a girl I like.
How can you turn people’s heads? I will go in immediately and go with my heart. I have a few people in mind and would like to touch and get to know them in the first few hours. I’ll turn my attention to just one girl then.
Lochan Nowacki
NAME: Lochan Nowacki
AGE: 25
OUT: Windsor
EMPLOYMENT: Account Manager
WHY ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO CASA AMOR? I’m excited because a lot of people aren’t completely secure in relationships. I also know the type of person I am, so I feel like I can draw everyone’s attention. I will not be disrespectful and I take pride in my morals as a person. I’m confident I can walk in without necessarily making a splash, but open the ladies’ eyes to what could be a better pair.
How can you turn people’s heads? I already have the top three people in mind, so I’ll probably quickly invite them into interviews and let them know they’re the top three people I want to talk to. But I’m confident that I’m a social person and won’t behave any differently there than when I’m with my own friends. I trust people will see that and my good looks and, bash, bash, bash!

How can you turn people’s heads? Casa Amor doesn’t give you a lot of time, so the guys often come up with a grand strategy, but when I’m put in an environment where there’s purpose, I always thrive naturally.

WHY ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO CASA AMOR? I want to do some annoyances and see if I can find a strong connection. I look forward to meeting new people and seeing where that takes me.
How can you turn people’s heads? First, by being myself and getting straight to the point. I like all the girls in the mansion. I know I’ll keep up with all of them, it’s just a matter of having a one on one chat and if I click with them I click with them, if not then I don’t click and move on to the next one.
