Love Island contestant Aidan Murphy<\/a> has revealed the top celebrity he gets compared to.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old property broker was revealed as part of the initial cast for the ITV<\/a> reality show’s thirteenth series. He’ll be sharing the villa with fellow contestants including a former police detective<\/a>, a West End performer and a model, amongst others.<\/p>\n

He claims people compare his appearance to Hollywood star Brad Pitt, but said that he wasn’t “too sure” about the comparison himself in a chat with Bristol Live ahead of his villa debut.<\/p>\n

“Do you reckon I look like Brad Pitt? I\u2019ve had it previously but that was a good couple of years ago so I\u2019m not too sure. I\u2019m Aidan Murphy, I\u2019m my own celebrity,” he joked.<\/p>\n

The Kent-based contestant also revealed that Love Island isn’t his debut with reality television, having rejected a major television opportunity before signing up for the popular dating programme.<\/p>\n

“Funnily enough I did go through an application for another show, but I didn’t take it on,” Aidan revealed, before identifying the programme. “Celebs Go Dating, yeah, that was last year but I didn’t end up going through with it.”<\/p>\n

The Channel 4 programme – which is broadcasting its current series – features a group of well-known celebs attempting to improve their romantic prospects and discover their ideal partner. During the show, the celebrities are paired with members of the public for dates, reports OK!<\/a><\/p>\n

Aidan elaborated: “I was very busy. It was more I was working and I just think Love Island compared to that show, it’s more sort of what I want to do. I want to find love, and I feel like this is going to give me a better opportunity at doing that.”<\/p>\n

The Islander has been single for just over two years following an amicable separation from his ex-partner, with whom he began a relationship as a teenager. He’s now determined to find a meaningful relationship, and has vowed not to engage in sexual activity on television unless he discovers a “genuine connection.”<\/p>\n

“I don’t plan on having sex. I think sex is a big thing on both sides,” he explained. “In order for you to have sex it’s a genuine connection between two people. I’m going in there, I’m not planning on doing it, if it happens then to me it’s more there is a genuine connection there.”<\/p>\n

How Aidan will manage villa life is yet to be determined, as prior to advancing through the application stages, he hadn’t watched Love Island since the 2019 series where Molly-Mae Hague found romance with boxer Tommy Fury.<\/p>\n

“When I applied it was a bit like ‘I’ll apply and see how it goes kind of thing’ and then as it got a bit more serious I was a little bit like ‘I better actually watch some of the recent series, see what I’m getting myself into’ again.”<\/p>\n

Love Island Series 13 begins on Monday, June 1 at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
