Love Island’s Shea Mannings: Everything to know about the new Islander who is also a dad
The bombshells are officially bombshelling. Last night’s Love Island [11 June] saw not one, but two new Islanders enter the Villa, ready to shake things up: introducing Shea Mannings and Remell Mullins.
The pair entered the Villa towards the end of the episode and were given some alone time with the girls to quiz them on what was happening with their various connections. The boys then joined the group and they all played a number of cheeky dares.
And while it’s not 100 per cent clear who Shea is interested in yet, it’s safe to say the whole of X [formerly known as Twitter] are either hoping he’ll couple up with Alima, or they can keep him for themselves.
So when you’re over your thirsting for Shea (we understand it could take a while) then this is everything you need to know about the latest Islander.
How old is Shea?
Shea is 25 years old.
Where is Shea from?
Shea is from Bristol.
What is Shea’s job?
Shea’s nine to five is working as a scaffolder.
What football team does Shea play for?
As mentioned on the show during 11th June’s episode Shea also plays football semi-professionally. According to OK! it appears Shea’s most recent team he played for were Swindon Supermarine FC, but he also played for these teams in the past too: “Bristol Manor Farm, Roman Glass St George, Ashton & Backwell, Larkhall Athletic, Metropolitan Police, Paulton Rovers, and Melksham Town.”
Does Shea have any children?
Yes! Before heading into the Villa, Shea revealed he has a young son from a previous relationship, whom he will take into consideration when looking to date any of the women.
“I have a little boy, so I’ll be taking him into consideration with who I couple up with, too,” he said.
What is Shea looking for in a relationship?
When it comes to coupling up Shea kept his cards very close to his chest during his first episode, however, ultimately he’s said he’s looking for a woman who is “bubbly and we need to have that initial spark. She needs to have a nice personality – like I think I have – so that we match together.”
He also mentioned as he’s reached the age of 25 he’s now looking to settle down and have a more serious relationship, “But I am ready again to look for something more serious. I’m 25 now, so I want to be settling down and have someone always by my side.”
What former Islanders does Shea know?
Ok so despite only just stepping into the Love Island Villa, it appears this isn’t Shea’s first connection with the world of Love Island.
Back in June 2022, Love Island’s Ella Barnes liked a number of Shea’s photos, however Ella hadn’t yet at that time been on the show. She also liked one of photo carousels back in July 2023.
And in 2021, last year’s Uma Jammeh also liked one of Shea’s pictures from when he was playing football. However, now neither of the women follower the Islander.
What are Shea’s TikTok and Instagam handles?
If you want to see even more of Shea outside of Love Island then follow him on Instagram at the handle @shea.mannings where he has just over 6,000 followers and regularly posts from his footie matches and from his holidays with his mates, which includes trips to Ibiza.
And he’s also on TikTok too. The Islander’s handle is @shea_fit and he mainly posts football content and the odd working out advice video.
