In Pictures: Meet the 12 "single" guys on ITV2's Ready To Mingle

By Neil Wilkes, Editor-in-chief | 7h

Meet the 12 guys trying to prove that they're single on ITV2's new dating show Ready To Mingle.

ITV2 launches a dating show with a twist on Monday night as 12 single boys vie for the affections of one gorgeous girl in Ready To Mingle.

The twist? Not all of the boys are single - they're just pretending to be single to woo the girl and walk away with a £50,000 cash prize at her expense! To add extra spice, the non-single boys have brought along their girlfriends, who will be watching their every move from a secret location nearby.

Scroll on to meet the eligible - and not so eligible - boys!

John Okafor

Age: 22

From: London via Leeds

Occupation: Semi-pro rugby player

Celebrity crush: Maya Jama

Quote: "I'm 6ft 6in tall. When people see me, they probably think I'm unapproachable, but when you get to know me, I'm a massive softie. I have a bit of a mean streak, but I have a huge soft side."

Casey Sonnekus

Age: 22

From: Bridgend via South Africa

Occupation: Railway worker

Celebrity crush: Margot Robbie

Quote: "[I'm] very confident, easy-going and funny. I get the party started, too. I can do a shot of tequila straight faced."

Louie Akinwale

Age: 27

From: Essex

Occupation: Model and handbag designer

Celebrity crush: Kourtney Kardashian

Quote: "I like good company. I'm not fussy at all. As long as it's creating memories and having fun. It could even be a cross country trip or a little cottage in the wilderness."

Hakeem Amao

Age: 32

From: London

Occupation: Personal trainer

Quote: "I don't take things too seriously. I'm a good listener - you can talk to me about anything and I won't judge. I'm willing to see your side of things. I'm always up for a laugh and I'm incredibly loyal. I've got friends from primary school that I'd do anything for."

Malcolm Modele

Age: 33

From: London via Gloucester

Occupation: Actor

Celebrity crush: Scarlett Johansson

Quote: "I would never do something to someone that I wouldn't want doing to myself. If you have the urge you want to cheat, you shouldn't be with the person you're with. I'm honest, loyal, hardworking, supportive, all the good things. I'm a good cook - I make a good lasagne or steak and dauphinoise potatoes and I make a phenomenal cheesecake - I cooked and baked for the whole house. I'm all the things a woman looks for."

Rudi Senghore

Age: 27

From: St Albans via Essex

Occupation: Carpenter

Celebrity crush: Michelle Keegan

Quote: "I rate myself really highly. I'm generous, selfless, most of the time and very supportive. I've got loads of love to give and I'm just an all-round good guy."

Chris Baber

Age: 27

From: Newquay

Occupation: Electrical engineer

Celebrity crush: Margot Robbie

Quote: "I don't really enjoy sleeping around. I always wear my heart on my sleeve and I'm so honest, but sometimes I can be too honest. As I've got older, I've learnt to hold things back a bit. I don't do needy now. If I say, 'Do you want to go out?' and they don't get back, I'll just chill with the boys."

Louis Hart

Age: 24

From: Devon via Essex

Occupation: Property developer

Quote: "The money prize was very appealing. People can say they're in it for the love and not the money, but I think we're all in it for the money otherwise we'd just be looking for love outside of the house."

Toby Bougouneau

Age: 24

From: Manchester via Exeter

Occupation: Model

Quote: "I wouldn't ever chase someone. If they're not giving anything back, I'm not interested. I've never done online dating; I've always just chatted to girls in clubs."

Elliott Miles

Age: 28

From: Hertfordshire

Occupation: Electrician

Celebrity crush: Rita Ora

Quote: "I'm the life and soul of the party. I'm not afraid of talking to new people. My dancing is rubbish, unless I've had a few drinks."

Drew Wedlake

Age: 26

From: Bristol

Occupation: Professional boxer

Celebrity crush: Mila Kunis

Quote: "On nights out, I'm used to girls making the first move, but I think it should always be the guy's thing. I do need a bit of the chase because if it's too easy, I feel I lose interest very quickly."

Lewis Croker

Age: 24

From: Somerset

Occupation: Firefighter

Celebrity crush: Margot Robbie

Quote: "My parents would probably say I'm a hardworking individual - if I want something, I'll go out and get it. I'm always making jokes about things, I'm just a fun guy."

Ready To Mingle starts Monday night at 9pm on ITV2.
