Ken Cetinay offers packing tips

Kem Cetinay has advised ‘Love Island’ hopefuls to pack a unique item in their suitcases.
The 22-year-old hairdresser – who won the show with then-girlfriend Amber Davies last summer – has offered some tips to the new batch of contestants and suggested they make sure they carve out a specific role for themselves in the Majorcan villa.
Discussing what to pack, he suggested: "Sun cream and oil, so you always look hench, bangin’ speakers, to crank up the summer tunes.
"Something that nobody else would take (like hair scissors)… you need to stand out from the crowd and give yourself a role in the villa."
And in order to stave off homesickness triggered by the long spell away from home with no contact from the outside world, Kem thinks it’s important to save some suitcase space for photographs of loved ones.
He continued: "A picture of your Mum or dog – like my Rocky – so you don’t miss the fam too much."
The ‘Dancing On Ice’ contestant also thinks it’s essential to pack some fun items too.
He said: "Carry inflatables (flamingoes or unicorns), so you’re the don in the pool."
Meanwhile, after Kem and his ‘Love Island’ pal Chris Hughes previously released a single, ‘A Little Bit Leave It’, they’ve now made a new rap-style video called ‘Braggage’, which was filmed during their recent First Choice holiday to Mexico and features their head-to-head battles in everything from tennis to jet skiing and sailing.
