It’s one of the most hyped shows currently on television - and one of the contestants is a local boy.

Eyal Booker, from Bushey, joined the Love Island house on Monday and will be on ITV every night for the next six weeks, or until he is voted off.

In 2013, he interrupted his performance schedule with band EverYoung to observe Yom Kippur, a Jewish festival, at Bushey Synagogue, according to the Jewish Chronicle.

So far, he has been unlucky in love in the villa, but hopes all that will change.

He is competing with other ‘islanders’ for a £50,000 prize.
