Lorenzo of Love Island reveals scouting story and quirky bedtime routine

Lorenzo, a 28‑year‑old contestant from Hertfordshire, was discovered for Love Island after friends photographed him at the Blue Marlin beach club in Ibiza. When he finally created an Instagram account, a producer messaged him with an audition invitation despite Lorenzo having only about 200 followers. A friend recalled, “Okay, so last year when we went to Ibiza, he never had Instagram… I said, ‘No, make an Instagram and tag us all.’”

During a recent episode, viewers noted Lorenzo’s unusual bedtime ritual: he was seen lint‑rolling his pillow while using his phone’s torch for light. He said, “I’m just finishing lint rolling my pillow before the lights were turned off.” Fans reacted on social media, describing the clip as a highlight of the season. The segment aired amid ongoing villa tensions, with several couples in the bottom three after a compatibility challenge.
