Love it or hate it, ITV is getting fans excited for the upcoming fifth series of Love Island.
One of the main talking points has already been that Tyson Fury's younger brother, Tommy, is going to feature on the hit reality dating show.

But hey, before ITV debuts the first episode of Love Island's new season next month, what would the boys' profiles be like if they were footballers?
Well, the Daily Telegraph's Adam Hurrey has created an amazing Twitter thread that has turned the Love Island men into footballers (aside from Joe Garratt -- tough luck, mate).
Grab a brew and check out these profiles below.

CALLUM
Diligent Championship-level club captain who, after almost 600 league appearances and 36 caps for Northern Ireland, becomes one of those incredibly serious-sounding Sky Sports pundits who gradually becomes the main presenter without you really noticing. pic.twitter.com/sA6k9NtyTy

Not entirely sure, but I can vividly picture him giving two thumbs up from a private hospital bed, vowing to "come back even stronger" from career-threatening knee injuries, at least twice in his career pic.twitter.com/Jv80NoiUmB

Highly-rated Plymouth winger, whose on-pitch tactics bollocking from Pep Guardiola after an 8-1 Carabao Cup annihilation from Manchester City proves to be the tipping point for the Pep Guardiola On-Pitch Tactics Bollocking trend. pic.twitter.com/wDJOfouHs1

Love Island will begin on 3rd June on ITV2, by the way.
"The secret behind Love Island's success is that it's a really simple show about a really complicated subject," says presenter Caroline Flack.
"No love situation is ever the same, no relationship is ever the same, we are all either in love, out of love, falling in love or falling out of it.
"It's relatable and that is the thing that is never going to change."
When Tommy was asked about his claim to fame, the 20-year-old Manchester boxer admitted that the Gypsy King had a part to play in that.
"It's probably my brother, Tyson, but I'm my own man and I've said it throughout my whole boxing career," he explained.
"I don't want to be labelled as his little brother, I'm my own man and I'm doing the best that I can do in life and that's all I'm setting out to achieve."
Will Tommy win this year's edition of Love Island?
Let us know in the comments.
