This bucket-hat businessman already has his eye on three girls from the villa.
So far on this year’s Love Island, we’ve seen a coupling, a recoupling, a dumping and it’s only been on three nights.
Last night, the show teased us with two brand new boys – Chuggs Wallis and Liam Reardon. These two bombshells are making their way into the villa tonight, and they’re bound to cause a stir.
Chuggs, particularly, caught the attention of viewers on Twitter. In fact, he’s still trending this morning. Between his unconventional name, wacky business venture and all-or-nothing attitude, it seems that this Surrey lad is one to watch.
“I’m Chuggs, I’m 23 and I run a bucket hat business in Surrey” is like something I’d write for a joke character #LoveIsland

While we’re bound to learn more about him tonight, here’s everything we know about Chuggs so far.
Chuggs hails from Surrey and went to university in Oxford. For work he runs his own bucket hat business called Booby Buckets. He first got into the trade of customizable merchandise during lockdown.
His Instagram handle is @chuggswallis.
When asked what motivated him to join the show, the 23 year-old cited his “fear of ageing”.
“I just feel like it’s now or never,” he said. “I’m only 23 but I’m scared of ageing. Especially as half of my last year of uni was taken away and we had so many fun plans. With Covid and the pandemic, I feel like I’ve missed a year of my youth, so I’m really gagging to get it all back – make the most of it.”
In terms of a partner, Chuggs said he is looking for someone who can be his best mate.
“I need someone who is going to muck in with my brothers, my family.” he said. “I’ve got a mate who has a girlfriend, she plays rugby, golf.. everything with us. She’s great, she gets involved. I want something like that.”
It also seems that Chuggs already has his eye on not one, but three girls from the villa. Based on first impressions, his head has been turned by Liberty, Chloe and Faye.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm Virgin Media One and Virgin Media Player.
