NEW Islander Ronnie Vint heads into the villa with his dad’s words of warning ringing in his ears – but they’re not the usual pleas to keep things PC.

Semi-pro footballer Ronnie, 27, laughed: “They’ve been really supportive but my dad don’t know too much about the show – all he’s asked is ‘do they give you a towel?’

“Obviously when he goes on holiday, all he worries about is putting a towel down first so he’s got his chair secured.”

It comes after the hunk, who was best man at Olivia Attwood and Bradley Dack’s wedding, hit back at trolls who have mocked him for “looking old” in his promo photos.

He said: “Whatever really…I always say I always look a bit older. I’ve always been told I look older, do I look old?

“And I’ve had some mad shouts before. I might have to get rid of this long line on my forehead and hopefully I’ll look a bit younger.”

“I’m just really excited to find my future wifey and to just enjoy the experience.

“I’m 27 now, I’ve matured for my age and I know what I want now and hopefully try and find The One now.”
