What is Lorenzo’s ‘type on paper’?

Lorenzo is typically attracted to blonde women, though he admits he also likes sophisticated and elegant women.

Lorenzo has a surprisingly specific attraction: he’s drawn to women with toned arms and necks, comparing his ideal look to that of Jessica Alba or Angelina Jolie. He admits it’s a pretty unusual preference!

Love Island returns on Monday 1 June at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
