A new contestant is arriving on Love Island tonight, and he’s expected to cause some drama.
Tonight on the show (June 10th), Simba Kudyiwa and Tommy Murphy will both arrive at the villa and each choose a girl to be their partner.
Now that Simba and Tommy have chosen their partners, and new couples are official, one contestant receives a devastating text message: she’s been dumped and needs to leave the Island immediately.
While we wait for the next season of Love Island, here’s everything you need to know about Simba Kudyiwa, a contestant on the 2026 show.

Who is Simba Kudyiwa?
Simba Kudyiwa, a neurological rehabilitation assistant from Enfield, is hoping to find love on the show. After being single for four years, he’s ready to find someone to settle down with.
I’m not actively seeking drama, honestly, but I think when you’re trying to find a connection with someone, a little bit of conflict is inevitable. So, I’m hoping for a mix of calm moments and, yeah, maybe a little bit of excitement too.
He acknowledges his romantic life has been messy, filled with undefined relationships and early stages of getting to know people. However, he firmly believes that things happen for a reason.
He expressed hope that, just as England will hopefully win the World Cup this summer, he’ll find love and win a prize in the Villa.
How old is Simba Kudyiwa?
Simba Kudyiwa is 24 years old.

He is and can be followed on Instagram via the handle @simbakudyiwa.

What is Simba’s ‘type on paper’?
For Simba, his type is “petite, natural features and somebody that looks after themselves“.
He said he’s looking for someone who’s down-to-earth and has goals they’re working towards.
