Ex-Kilmarnock player Aaron Simpson to enter the Love Island villa

Former Kilmarnock player Aaron Simpson will enter the Love Island villa – and he could prove to be a problem for Scottish islander Dale Mehmet.

The 24-year-old has jetted over to Majorca to join the ITV2 show following the dramatic dumping of four contestants earlier this week.

Aaron currently plies his trade as a footballer and previously had a spell with Scottish Championship side Kilmarnock in 2018.

But his time with the Ayrshire club was short lived, as he only made four appearances over six months.

Now, Aaron has set his sights on having a successful time on Love Island – and reportedly has eyes on Mary Bedford, who is currently coupled up with Glasgow barber Dale.

But, the only Scots islander could be spared from potential danger as he is also looking to get to know Chloe Burrows.

In an interview with the Daily Star, Aaron said that any potential partner will need to win over his mum to make the relationship last.

He said: “Sometimes it can be hard to know if someone is genuine or not. My mum is really protective over me. The approval is always needed from mumsy, for sure.
