Love Island Australia 2024‘s very own Greek god, Niko Fotopoulos, has certainly captured the attention of us mere mortals watching at home. Get to know him better with this guide to the Islander and his coupling journey ahead.
Who is Niko Fotopoulos?
Niko is a 28-year-old builder who lives in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. Back home, he runs his own business and works incredibly hard at it – but family always remains a priority for this Love Island Australia single.
In a recent episode of Love Island, Niko revealed that he’s actually been on a TV show before.
“I actually drilled a screw through my hand when I was younger, and I was on a show called Saving Kids,” he said.
Niko explained that as a 12-year-old, he was building a compost bin out of timber and screwed into his own hand accidentally – which got him onto the show, seemingly.
A slightly different experience to Love Island, but hey – the stakes are high here too.
What is Niko looking for on Love Island Australia?
Niko has spoken before about having his heart broken by an ex who cheated on him. But he’s said that now he’s ready to look for the real thing again.
In an interview with Love Island Australia producers, Niko said he is “definitely picky, physically”. His ideal girl has to have “dark features, good body – she works out. But, she has to have good feet,” he said.
“I want a girl that’s exactly like me: hot.”
In the earlier stages of the Love Island experience, Niko was coupled up with Hannah Steinfeld. However, Hannah eventually shared with him that she’d become fond of Taylor Reid instead.
After the pair called time on their coupling, Niko was sent on a blind date with new Bombshell and fellow Greek hottie, Mia Dalkos.
Almost immediately, the pair became smitten with one another. The only barrier that seems to trouble Niko and Mia at the moment is that their families live in different states.
Mia is based in Adelaide and doesn’t see herself moving to Sydney long-term. We’ll have to wait and see whether they can make this romance work.
