Meet the first EVER winter Love Islanders! Rochelle Humes' lookalike sister, an 'alpha male' heir to a country estate, Lewis Capaldi's ex-girlfriend, and blonde TWINS make up the new batch of singletons
The sixth season of the ITV2 show launches on January 12, with 12 hopefuls heading to Cape Town to look for love in the series' first ever winter edition
Leading the pack are Sophie Piper, the younger sister of The Saturdays singer Rochelle Humes, VIP hostess twins Eve and Jess Gale, as well as singer Lewis' ex, and Britain's Got Talent contestant Paige Turley
The men are led by land owner Ollie Williams, who counts 'Do you know Polzeath beach in Cornwall? I own it' as his favourite chat up line, thanks to his position as Heir to the Lanhydrock in Cornwall

Love Island's first ever winter season has already made a name for itself with its plentiful dollopings of drama (and that's just from the show's hosts).
But now the ITV2 reality show is back - months earlier than usual - and a new roster of sexy singletons will be landing on screens in a matter of days.
And in this first look at the maiden voyage of winter Love Island, there's much to digest when it comes to the new cast.
There's Britain's Got Talent 2012 contestant Paige Turley, 22, who counts singer Lewis Capaldi as an ex.
'We went out when we were younger, I was about 17 or 18. We were together for about a year. It ended really amicably and we’re still pals,' she says.
With over 20K followers on Instagram, the fun blonde is also a singer from West Lothian and is believed to be the inspiration behind the musician's hit break-up single Someone You Loved.
She was only 14 when she thrilled the BGT judges, including Alesha Dixon and Simon Cowell, in 2012 with her moving performance of Birdy's Skinny Love.
