A look inside the chaotic and hilarious TikTok accounts of the 2023 Islanders

Since the 2023 winter series, Love Island contestants have been unable to have someone manage their social media accounts on their behalf and while that has taken a slight hit to their follower count, people are still enjoying their content from before the villa.

While Instagram shows all of the glitz and glamour of the contestants, it’s their TikTok accounts that show their true selves. This year’s cohort of Islanders have some truly iconic TikTok profiles, with someone being incredibly popular on the app prior to joining the show.

So if you’re keen to see more of the Islanders’ personalities when they’re not on the show, here is a look inside their TikTok accounts.

Whitney

Handle: @whitbrowns

Whitney’s TikTok account is a massive vibe. It is full of hilarious POVs and lip syncing videos as well as videos of her debuting her various wigs. Blonde Whitney was a moment!

She currently has just under 30,000 followers on TikTok and that’ll no doubt continue to grow when she goes back to regularly posting on her account.

Ella

Handle: @3llathomas

Ella had her TikTok game down before she entered the villa and currently has an impressive 137,000 followers on the app. Her TikToks range from outfit of the day videos to unboxing of parcels.

Some of her videos have up to two million views, proving she is already a hit amongst her followers. Also, Blonde Ella is also the moment.

Tyrique

Handle: @tyriquehyde

Tyrique has no videos on his TikTok account so it’s likely he just had it to watch other TikToks and repost an obscene amount like the rest of us. Tyrique’s brother follows him on the account and he has the classic: “‘’m off to find love in the @loveisland villa! ❤️🏝️” in his bio, proving it’s legit.

Molly

Handle: @_mollymarsh_

Molly was already incredibly popular on TikTok before she entered the Love Island 2023 villa and she is currently just shy of one million followers.

Her most viewed video is her Fem Fresh advert, with 31 million views, and that’s because no one can escape it on their ForYouPage. A lot of her content is dancing videos with her sister and majority of her TikToks have over one million views.

Zachariah

Handle: @zachnoble97

While Zach isn’t as popular as Molly on Instagram, he’s given his TikTok a fair go. Majority of his videos of him training at the gym and his transformation.

Jess

Handle: @jesshardingox

Jess didn’t post a whole lot on her TikTok account, given she only has four videos. Her videos include snapshots of her travelling to Thailand and Dubai as well as at a festival. She currently has 26,400 followers on TikTok and if she keeps up posting outside of the villa, it’ll likely continue to grow.

Abi

Handle: @abimooresxox

Abi’s TikTok is a fashion, travel and lifestyle account and she often shares ‘get ready with me’ videos, unboxings and vlogs on her TikTok. She currently has 35,000 followers on her account and was clearly grinding hard before she stepped into the villa.

Some of her more popular videos are of her giving an insight into her job as a flight attendant. One video of her taking her followers on a journey of her being on airport standby has over 500,000 views.

Leah

Handle: @leahjtaylor

Leah’s TikTok was popping before she entered the villa and now with over 200,000 followers she has gone back to posting regularly. Her account recently has been her answering questions from her followers about her time on Love Island.

Before she entered the villa, her TikTok was full of videos of daily vlogs, unboxing videos and some truly Molly-Mae coded videos that could’ve just been a selfie.

Catherine

Handle: @catherineagbaje

Catherine didn’t post loads on her TikTok before entering the villa and they often POVs or compilations of her on a night out or on holiday. Her more recent videos are with her fellow dumped Islanders, with one being her and Leah recreating their dance from the villa.

Mal

Handle: @badgorlmal

Mal didn’t have enough time in that villa and that’s final. If there’s one Islander that was their authentic self in the villa, it’s Mal. Her TikTok videos prove how much of a ray of sunshine she is and are more chaotic than her heart rate challenge.

Amber

Handle: @amberwse

When Amber was dumped from the villa, she returned to TikTok with a bang. Her first video was a duet with Kodie which heavily hinted they were going to start getting to know each other. It has since amassed 4.1 million views and you know what? Fair enough.

Kodie

Handle: @kodiemurphy02

Kodie was already fairly popular on TikTok before he went in the Love Island 2023 villa and ever since his very brief stint in Casa Amor, he has been dominating people’s For You Pages ever since.

He currently has over 328,000 followers on TikTok and has amassed an impressive 13.9 million likes.

Elom

Handle: @elom.ahlijah

Elom’s TikTok account went viral while he was in the Love Island 2023 villa, mainly for his visual storytelling in some of his videos. He is just about to tip over onto 42,000 followers on the app and has 1.8 million likes.

Kady

Handle: @kadymcdermott

Kady is currently the most followed Islander from this year’s show on TikTok with one million followers. Her videos range from daily vlogs, funny POVs and various collabs with other popular TikTokers and influencers.

Love Island 2023 is on ITV2 and ITVX. For all the latest Love Island news and gossip and for the best memes and quizzes, like The Holy Church of Love Island on Facebook.
