Huddersfield cricketer and model Max Morley is a star of TV’s latest of reality show.

The former Huddersfield New College Academy cricketer has joined the cast of ITV show Love Island.

He and Yorkshire girl Bethany Rogers joined the cast in the Spanish sunshine this week.

The show has brought 12 single people together on a sun-kissed island with the winner set to collect £50,000.

Max is a professional cricketer and former player for Durham County Cricket Club, after starting his career at Holmfirth.

He told show bosses that after dating Miss Newcastle for the past eight months, he “always live life to the Max”.

Morley, 22, is setting his sights on his very own Miss Love Island, whoever she may be...

What type of gal is our Max looking for? “Blondes, blondes, blondes!” he proudly declares, as long as they don’t give him any “banter”, which apparently would be his worst nightmare.

Newspaper reports say the cricketer has plenty of experience in scoring, and claims to have slept with over two hundred girls.

He is recently single and loves to wine and dine a girl and describes his type as ‘blonde, blonde, blonde.’

The show was first screened back in 2005 and this is a revived format.

Non-celebrity contestants compete to survive a public vote each week. The new series is hosted by Caroline Flack and produced for ITV2 by ITV Studios.

Max was a very talented young cricketer in Huddersfield for many years. When he was 17, the left-arm spinner was the only player from the Huddersfield area to win selection from the trials and was chosen to play for Yorkshire in matches against teams from Notts, Derbyshire, Lancashire and Durham.

Morley, who recently impressed in Dave Weston’s New College Academy side’s victory over an MCC team at Lascelles Hall, was a member at Holmfirth, where he played mainly in the Seconds. He studied for a BTech National Diploma in PE at New College.

ITV risks being accused of hypocrisy after airing sex scenes during Love Island just weeks after channel bosses insisted show wouldn’t go there.

Before the show launched, ITV’s Director of digital channels and acquisitions, Angela Jain, made a big deal of insisting there would be no sex scenes in the show because that would be ‘boring’, but now it appears all bets are off in an apparent bid to save the flagging show.

Just 200,000 viewers turned in to ITV2’s new big budget show on Saturday night.
