Love Island 2024: Which Nepo Baby Will Appear On The Dating Show Next?
Love Island has become known for putting completely unknowns firmly on the showbiz map after their eight weeks or so in the sun while searching for love.
And while the show has helped to make the likes of Molly-Mae Hague, Maura Higgins and Olivia Attwood into household names, there have also been plenty of Islanders who already had a strong celebrity connection.
Love Island bosses seem to love a nepo baby - short for nepotism baby - to boost the ITV2 dating show's ratings.
Who can forget when Dani Dyer - the daughter of former EastEnders star Danny Dyer - won series four, and days before that her top geezer of a dad appeared on the show via video link as part of the programme's "Meet the Parents" segment. Lovely jubbly.
We have also seen Belle Hassan, the daughter of Danny's Football Factory co-star Tamer Hassan, and Antigoni Buxton, the daughter of celebrity chef Tonia Buxton, attempt to find love in the famous villa.
As have former footballer Dennis Wise's daughter Amber Wise, singer Ronan Keating's son Jack Keating, World Superbike racer Carl Fogarty's daughter Claudia Fogarty, and ex-Coronation Street actress Janet Marsh's daughter Molly Marsh on the programme.
The 11th series of Love Island, hosted by Maya Jama, is expected to begin on June 3, and there has been plenty of speculation on betting sites about who the next Love Island nepo baby might be.
Gigi In The Villa?
The Real Housewives of Cheshire star Lauren Simon appeared on ITV's Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year, and made friends with the likes of Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne.
But her daughter, Gigi Simon, is the 6/4 favourite on Love Island betting sites to rock up in the Mallorca villa this year.
Gigi is no stranger to having fun in the sun, with the star often posting sun-soaked clips on her TikTok page, so she could fit in well in the ITV2 series.
A source recently told The Sun newspaper: "It’s early stages and she’s just in talks but Gigi is really keen to sign up.
"She’s obviously got ITV connections through her mum but if she does get on the show, it won’t be because of that."

Constance's Spin In The Villa?
Another star who is no stranger to soaking up the sun on social media is Constance Baxendale, the daughter of former Wheel of Fortune presenter Jenny Powell.
Just four weeks ago, Jenny revealed she and Constance had enjoyed a break in the "tropical paradise" of Tulum, Mexico - was Constance topping up her tan in time for a spin in the villa?
In September 2022, Jenny told The Sun: "After I appeared on Loose Women with my eldest daughter Connie, Love Island producers got in touch and asked her if she’d be interested in going on the show. She is gorgeous, so I left it to her."
Constance turned the show down at the time, but if things have changed for the star then it wouldn't be a huge surprise if producers came knocking again.
She is just 2/1 on specials betting sites to appear in this year's Love Island, just ahead of former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes' daughter, netball player Alicia Scholes (3/1).
She certainly has the social media following to appear on the show, boasting 100,000 Instagram followers.
Scholes' former England teammate Stuart Pearce's daughter, British event rider Chelsea Pearce (5/1), could also be in contention for a Love Island appearance.

Is Amber Wise To Come Back?
In recent series, Love Island bosses have brought back a former Islander, with the likes of Adam Collard and Kady McDermott returning in series eight and 10 respectively.
Should that happen again in series 11, then former Chelsea footballer Dennis Wise's daughter Amber could have another crack at villa life.
Amber is just 7/1 on betting apps to appear in the upcoming series, while former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher's daughter Mia is a 10/1 outsider.
Ex-England striker Alan Shearer's daughter Hollie Shearer is another who could've been in the mix, but she is thought to be dating rugby union star Joe Marchant.
