Love Island’s Ronnie Vint admits to flings with Olivia Attwood’s pals

Love Island contestant Ronnie Vint has admitted to having flings with several of Olivia Attwood‘s famous friends.

Ronnie, 27, was best man at Olivia’s wedding to Sunderland footballer Bradley Dack, 30, last June and sees the ITV2 presenter as family.

And he says his close friendship with Olivia, 33, comes with its advantages after he enjoyed secret romances with her glamorous pals, who he wasn’t prepared to name.

But Ronnie hopes to put his womanising days behind him as he enters the Love Island villa, saying his ‘goal’ is to find someone he can marry, so Bradley can one day repay him the favour and be best man at his wedding.

He said: ‘I have always been alright with the ladies. I have had my fair share I would say but now I’m ready to finally find The One.

‘I am hoping to find someone to bring back to my family, my friends, and to obviously find someone to build a future with.

‘I have got with some of Olivia’s mates but they’re in relationships now and I think it would be disrespectful to talk about that.

‘Obviously, where she’s quite well known and that and her friends I have met… it’s always been a nice cheat code… But other than that it’s just been one of those things for me.’

Olivia, who was a Love Island finalist in 2017, has given her words of wisdom ahead of his entrance, warning Ronnie not to get caught up in his feelings and cry on TV.

He said: ‘She has been so supportive through the whole thing and so has Brad, he’s a bit more unbothered about the whole thing and says to go and enjoy it mate.

‘I have always got on with anyone I’ve ever met and she said that will be really good. Little things like take it by day by day and don’t get caught up in anything like emotions or start crying.’

After chasing good looks in the past, Ronnie said his focus has changed and he’s aiming to find a good connection on the show.

He added: ‘When I was younger my type was a blonde girl, massive boobies, nice body, and I am still attracted to that but the past few years I have been with brunettes… so I don’t know anymore.

‘But now for me it’s about how well I get on with someone… as long as I have a good connection with that person, that’s the biggest thing.

‘I want Bradley to be the best man at my wedding because it was a hard job, a really hard job. That’s my goal, seeing them and being around them I would like nothing more than to have a double date with them because I have never done that and to have what they have is something I would love to have myself.’

After the Love Island line-up was revealed on Monday, some trolls criticised Ronnie’s appearance, putting him down for not having a ‘ripped’ physique. 

But the sportsman says he isn’t ‘bothered’ with having a six pack or muscles because he enjoys his food and isn’t shy after baring his body in front of his teammates.

He said: ‘Where I have played football, I have been in changing rooms for so many years in front of so many geezers, if I could walk around naked, I would.

‘There have always been people trimmer than me or bigger than me, I love food and I can’t help that.

‘I have always been in shape to get through 90 minutes of my football but body type… I’m not really bothered. If you’re bigger than me, well done, you look trim but like I say, I have been in the gym, I have been trying to get my arms bigger.’

Love Island returns on Monday 3rd June at 9pm on ITV1, ITV2, ITVX & STV
