Love Island's Zachariah unrecognisable in photos taken before villa weight loss

Love Island bombshell Zachariah Noble looked very different before he made his debut on the ITV2 dating show last week.

Basketball player Zach, 25, became the very first bombshell to join the 2023 summer Love Island line-up with all the girls turning their heads for the South-East London hunk.

The confident islander is a personal trainer as well as a shooting guard who most recently played for Worcester Wolves in British Basketball and his charm, confidence, and good looks have secured his a spot as one of the most sought-after boys in the villa.

However, before making his Love Island debut, Zachariah looked completely different to the villa hunk which viewers have become head over heels for.

Before entering the villa, Zach took to Instagram to share a throwback snap of how different he looked before falling in love with exercise and personal training.

The photo in question sees Zach pose in a mirror selfie as he showed off a much more scruffy look with long hair and a bushy beard.

It's clear that Zach has been busy in the gym in recent months as the snap also shows off his incredible fitness transformation.

Alongside the impressive transformation post, Zach wrote: "Still got a hell of a way to go, but it’s never been about the end goal. The journey is what matters. #training #changing #gym #journey."

In other throwback photos which he posted in October last year, Zach showed off his impressive arm muscles after working on toning his upper body.

"To the boy that started this journey, 'you’ve done well bro.' And to the man that’s gonna finish it, “The works only just begging”. Let’s work," he wrote alongside the photos.

The Love Island bombshell grew up in East London with his mum and famous sister - Snoochie Shy.

Last week, Cheyenne Davide, better known as Snoochie Shy, posted a gushing social media tribute to her 'little brother' Zach onInstagramandTwitterafter he made his villa debut - leaving Love Island fans in disbelief.

Snoochie Shy, who is radio presenter, television presenter and model, shared her pride that her younger brother was making his mark on reality TV as she shared a number of sweet snaps with her sibling.

Her little brother, Zachariah, wanted to try something different, so signed up for the ITV2 dating show, saying: "I always say, ‘You only grow as a person when you take yourself out of your comfort zone’ and I think it’s something that’s so far out of my comfort zone, I’d be silly not to give it a go.

"Being 25, I’m at a crossroads where I’ve been having fun, but I also want to have the peace and harmony that comes from being with the right woman."

Zach said that he was hoping to find the woman of his dreams in the villa before making his debut and since being in there, he has showed interest in Dublin-born Catherine and blonde beauty Molly.

On Sunday night, several viewers called for Zach to be axed from the show after his treatment of Catherine when he kissed Molly but refused to apologise to the Irish beauty.

Love Island continues tonight at 9PM on ITV2 and ITVX.
