Meet the cast of ITVX’s Loaded in Paradise – from models to TikTok stars and a Trump superfan

IF you are craving some winter sunshine look no further than ITVX’s new show, Loaded in Paradise.

The action packed reality game show sees party-loving pairs island hop Greece’s Aegean Islands in a race to take control of – and spend – 50,000 euros.

The series starts with five pairs and a gold card loaded with cash, to blow on the wildest trip of their lives.

However, only one lucky pair can be in control at any time. For this pair it’s simple, live their best life on the run but don’t get caught.

Meanwhile, everyone else will be trying to hunt them down and take control of the card, and being forced to live on a tiny budget as they do so.

The cash card will be loaded up with a fresh cash injection daily, so our spenders can live it up and spend, spend, spend.

At the end of each 48-hour chase, a luxury safehouse will open and everyone will reconvene. Dotted across the Aegean islands, these amazing and luxurious hubs will allow viewers to see the drama and fallout of the chase as they all come together.

On the final leg of the chase, there’ll be a big twist as everyone chases the gold card one last time. 

So here’s everything you need to know about the Loaded in Paradise contestants.

Ieuan and Kane

Ieuan, 22, and Kane, 21, are best friends and TikTok stars from Kilgetty, Wales and Bristol.

The pair have been best friends for two years after meeting on TikTok and describe themselves as “the gay Ant and Dec”.

The trip is their first holiday together and Kane has never been abroad before.

They plan to spend the money on the gold card on Indian food, saying: “Get me that 24 carat Indian food, ideally a chicken tikka or a lamb madras”.

Millie and Amelia

Millie, 27, and Amelia, 22, are also best friends from Cheshire and Bury.

Amelia is a gym instructor – despite her hatred of early mornings – while Millie is an accounts assistant as well as an influencer and model.

Describing their friendship, Millie said: “Amelia is absolutely mental, when we’re together Amelia brings out something severely thick inside of me, I go from Marilyn Monroe and pretending to be dumb, to actually dumb”.

Amelia will be bringing a framed photo of her cat Sasha on the trip and both girls admit they wouldn’t be against a holiday romance while vying for the gold card.

Ellie and Tommy

Ellie and Tommy have been in a relationship for eight months up to the point of filming, moving in together after two months.

When Tommy isn’t throwing infamous Summer parties at his family home in Surrey, he’s a director of a number of companies and is the 4th Thomas Traylen.

Tommy says a defining moment in his life was being invited to meet President Trump at the White House aged 20, although he can’t disclose why he was there.

Meanwhile Ellie is a model turned social media influencer, she works with companies like Oh Polly and Pretty Little Thing.

The couple are used to the luxury lifestyle and agree that should they win the card, their first spends will be on luxury
accommodation, a slick car for transport and a great meal.

Kishon and Kara

Kishon and Kara, both 24, are from Brighton and have been best friends for six years and in the last two years have attended the same Fashion School; Retail Fashion Academy in London.

Kara previously dated Kishon’s brother for 18 months and she jokes: “Kishon’s brother f***ing hates that me and Kishon are now best friends. I can’t escape the family”.

The pair describe themselves as “divas and confrontational”, which often gets them into trouble.

Kishon admits “I’m too honest, which is my best and worst trait. I f***ing hate liars, so I will call people out if I don’t think they are
being genuine”.

Camping and hostels are their worst nightmares and will kick off if they end up in that situation, and they aren’t afraid to play the game “dirty”.

Jamie and Guy

Jamie and Guy have been friends for 15 years and are from Reading and North London.

Jamie has recently decided to have a big life change and to put his studies of economics on hold and pursue a career in aesthetics – which is the industry that his mum works in – and he is soon looking to start training in fillers, IPL and microblading.

Both lads are sporty and musical and Jamie is a big traveller, having previously travelled solo around South East Asia.

The pair are both single and wouldn’t mind a bit of female attention, but they’re both super competitive and want to splash the cash on things that they have never done before – such as pool parties and jet skiing.

Karra and Jasmine

Karra, 28, and Jasmine, 26, are sisters from Milton Keynes, and live together with their mum and Jasmine’s son Avery, four.

They say they are either best friends or enemies, and during their one and only physical fight wigs came flying off, something they both laugh about now.

Karra is an admission’s officer at a university while Jasmine is a project manager for a data communications company.

The siblings are both single and ready to mingle and they want to go on Loaded In Paradise so that Jasmine can get closure on her ex by living her best life, and Karra to flaunt the three stones she’s lost while demonstrating body positivity.

If they get their hands on the gold card they would love to hire a yacht for a boat party, fly in a helicopter, rent fast luxury cars, feed animals in a zoo, but also have some pampering in spas and cultural experiences such as museum trips and wine tasting.

Loaded in Paradise premieres on ITVX on December 28 with the series available to stream for free in full.
