Who is Chris Hughes? Meet the Love Island 2017 contestant looking for a summer romance

It burst back onto our screens, earlier this month with a host of new wannabes. And, already it looks like theres plenty of sexual chemistry in the Love Island villa.

But just who are the lovely lads looking for love? One of them is 22 year-old Chris Hughes from Gloucester. Heres our rather cheeky introduction.

  What is your USP? I think what sets me apart is being a country boy. It gives the girls a different option to what they're normally used to.

I offer a very different background. I'm also outgoing with a great personality and I love meeting new people.

With my eyes and my smile as well, it could work for me. What is the appeal of Love Island for you? I want to meet new people and find a girl who is well suited to me.

What is your dating reputation like? My friends would say I fall in love straightaway. If I thought she was right I go all guns blazing.

If I like a girl in the villa, it could get serious quickly. I like to treat a girl and I'm quite an old fashioned romantic.

  What is the most romantic thing you have ever done or had done for you? I write letters and leave them hidden for girls to find. I love surprises and I like treating people and making them feel special.

The last relationship I was in I was forever going to theatre shows and long weekends away. What is the worst date you have ever been on? I met two girls at the gym who were best friends.

The brunette girl who I initially liked I started texting. I was invited around to her house and ended up having a few too many drinks.

I woke up the next morning and I'd spent the night with her best friend, instead of the girl I'd been messaging. It completely blew my chances with the girl I'd wanted to see that night.

What type of girl would be your biggest nightmare in the villa? Someone loud and overly attention seeking. It just puts me off.

I like girls who are confident but quiet. I don't want someone who is all guns blazing to get someone's attention.

  How loyal will you be to the guys – would you betray a friend for a girl you liked? At the end of the day, I'm going there for the girls.

It's something I would consider but it wouldn't stop me. We're all there for the same reason.

I've known the boys as long as I've known the girls so there is no loyalty. What is your biggest fear about being in the villa? I don't really have any fears.

I'm just really excited about the fact that you won't have any outside communication with anyone, because that's something you won't experience ever again in your lifetime.

I'm sort of embracing dating the more traditional way, without WhatsApp and your phone. I was brought up to do things traditionally and it's just a hands on way.

Iain Percy: "This is the most charged, amazing racing you'll see, it blows me away." - Duration: 5:01.

The message from Artemis Racing's Team Manager and Tactician Iain Percy, moments after the Swedish team were eliminated from the 35th America's Cup

following a 5-2 Louis Vuitton America's Cup Challenger Playoffs Finals defeat to Peter Burling's Emirates Team New Zealand yesterday (Monday 12th June).

Defeat to the Kiwis brought an end to Artemis Racing's hopes of challenging ORACLE TEAM USA for the 'Auld Mug'

as they narrowly missed out on a place in the America's Cup Match, presented by Louis Vuitton.

However, while naturally disappointed, Percy is confident that with the continued support of Torbjörn Törnqvist (Artemis Racing Team Principal) and

and their 'unique' team spirit, the Swedish team will be back for another assault on the oldest trophy in international sport, even if that doesn't include him

I can be philosophical about our journey," said the 41-year-old, whose partner is due to give birth imminently to their first child.

We are all competitors and it is tough to lose. We lost to a great team but it has been three years since we were in a very different place.

"Competitively we were a long way behind and to see where we are now, right there with ORACLE TEAM USA and Emirates Team New Zealand, takes a monumental effort.

We've closed the gap, I would have liked to have closed it more and felt we could, but it wasn't to be this time.

It doesn't just happen like that, there's been hundreds of people

in our team working full on for three years to get us to this stage and so I feel immense pride, but also disappointment.

"I think our owners are also a pretty special part of what we are about.

There's not many people like Torbjörn in the world who have been that successful, so for me personally it's really important to have him

Also, it is always about your teammates and the group you are with. We moved to a new country and lived with each other day in and day out.

There are one hundred people who share this passion to win this crazy trophy, so it has to be about your team mates.

As team spirit goes, I think it is pretty hard to beat Artemis Racing, it is unique

We are very much a family here and we are all proud of our efforts.

Torbjörn has enjoyed this campaign a lot but he is a competitor too and wants to win. However he can see the trajectory of

our improvement compared to ORACLE TEAM USA and Emirates Team New Zealand and he can see we've made massive inroads

If you follow that path up it is only going one way. He has amazing faith

in us and I'd be amazed if he doesn't want to take at least one more go at this old trophy.

Speaking about next steps for himself, Iain said, "Age definitely catches up with you and I'm not sure it would solely be my decision if I

continue, it would be more Nathan's (Nathan Outteridge-Artemis Racing helmsman) call if I'll be continuing or not. What I care about is Artemis Racing as a team."

While his own future may remain unclear, one thing Percy is certain about

is the incredible spectacle that he has helped be a part of and his hopes for how it continues in the years to come.

I think this has been the best sport, not just sailing, the best sport there's been on television, ever

It's the most charged amazing racing you'll see, it blows me away," added the British double Olympic champion on the 35th America's Cup.

"I like watching a Formula 1 race but you pretty much know who is going to win

from half way through - not in this! You've got the wind, you've got every manuevre, its so difficult to do - it's unbelievable"

Being part of it you realise how special it is. It has been awesome and if we

carry on with this format, sailing is going to be one of the best sports to watch over the next 20 years."
