Meet Michael Griffiths…

Michael’s USP? He’s a rugged and handsome firefighter.
“Who doesn’t want their own firefighter?” he joked. “Their own hero.”
It’s his unique vocation which sees Michael cheekily rate himself a 10/10.
“I’d rate myself ten out of ten, I would have said nine but I’m a hero so it bumps it up,” he said.
But aside from his day job, Michael believes his down-to-earth attitude and energy are what will make him a catch in the villa.
“’I’m a straight-talking guy, I’ll tell people how it is. I’m open and energetic, so I’m easy to get along with,” he said.
However, his forthright attitude can land Michael in trouble.
“People don’t always like the truth,” he said. “Even though it’s one of the best things about me, it’s also one of the worst. I’ll just say it how it is.
“I also eat a lot, little and often, people might find that quite annoying. And I’m always late!”
What is Michael looking for in the villa?
A “nice bum” is a plus for Michael – but it’s more important to have that initial spark.
“[I’m looking for] somebody I can get along with on an intellectual level and have a conversation with and not be lost in translation. But also have a bit about them, not take themselves too seriously and have a bit of banter,” he said.
“If I like somebody then I’ll go for it. There’s not really anything that could stop me. Everybody I meet will be a new person so they’re not going to be my best mate, so if a girl I’m speaking to is coupled up and we get on, I’m still going to talk to her. “
