“For me, it’s about being myself,” he said. “I’m confident in my personality, so I think that will come across naturally.”
How old is Aidan Murphy?

Is Aidan from Love Island 2026 on Instagram?
Yes, Aidan is on Instagram! You can follow him via the handle @aidan.mzz where, at the time of reporting, he has a little under 3,500 followers.
What is Aidan’s ‘type on paper’?
For Aidan, he wouldn’t say he has a strict type and finds that personality is the most important thing in a match.
“Obviously, I know if I find someone physically attractive but if we’re not connecting, laughing, and having a good time, it just wouldn’t work for me,” he said.
“I like someone who’s fun, can take a joke and doesn’t take themselves too seriously. If we’re constantly laughing and getting on, that’s what matters most.”
Love Island returns on Monday 1 June at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
