Paul Weller’s daughter Dylan claims she has been asked ‘a lot’ to appear on Love Island by show bosses.
Producers are reportedly keen to get another celebrity offspring on the show after signing up Danny Dyer’s daughter Dani in 2018.
However, as new recruits are being eyed-up to appear on the upcoming series, Dylan, 25, whose father is The Jam singer Paul, 63, insists she’s not interested in taking part despite being single and saying Love Island is her ‘favourite show ever’.

In a recent interview, she said: ‘They have asked a lot. I don’t want to offend anyone, but it’s just not me. I don’t think I’d be very good at it – it’s so awkward.
‘I don’t think I would ever showcase a relationship. Relationships are supposed to be a lot more private, and I think it’s really as simple as that.
‘I am single, but I’m hoping I can find someone, and not go on a show for it.’

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Love Island and Dylan for further comment.
Dylan is one of Paul’s eight children, with the star welcoming his youngest daughter Nova with partner Hannah Andrews in 2017. The couple share two other children.
He is also father to Natt, 32, and Leah, 30, from his marriage to ex Dee C. Lee, and Jessamine, 21, and Stevie Mac, 16, who he shares with former partner Samantha Stock.

Love Island hopefuls were able to submit their applications from last month.
Sexy singletons looking for a long hot summer of love were given the welcome news that ITV were accepting applications for the next series – five months after the 2021 series wound down.

Accompanied by a snap of the iconic Mallorcan villa, an Instagram message read: ‘Happy New Year! Now, who fancies spending summer in paradise, with the hope of finding love?
‘Applications are officially open for #loveisland 2022. Get grafting and apply now by clicking the link in bio.’
The 2021 series was won by Millie Court, 25, and Liam Reardon, 22 – with Chloe Burrows, 26, and Toby Aromolaran, 22 finishing in second place.

Millie chose to split the £50,000 prize money with Liam – following a rollercoaster journey in the villa which saw Liam’s head turned by bombshell Lillie in Casa Amor – before the winning pair reconciled.
Love Island bosses were reportedly swamped with over 100,000 applications from contestants for the 2021 series.
The eligibility requirements for the 2022 show are broad with applicants having to be over 18 and not related to anyone working for ITV.

They must also hold a valid passport and be available for a minimum of 10 consecutive weeks to film the show.
Applicants must then upload a short video of themselves explaining why they would make a good islander and send a headshot and full length photos of themselves.
Hopefuls will have their work cut if they want to make it to the villa as it was previously revealed only six Islanders on the 2019 series actually applied to be on the show.

According to The Mirror, Amy Hart, Michael Griffiths, Ovie Soko and Joe Garratt, all applied via these channels.
Meanwhile, Curtis Pritchard and Tommy Fury both had agents who helped to get them on the show.
Love Island 2019 winners Amber Gill and Greg O’Shea did not apply for the show and were instead scouted by producers.
In written evidence for the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee report, ITV chief executive Dame Carolyn McCall said: ‘On series five of Love Island to date (15 July), there have been 36 contributors.
’24 were found and cast by the programme’s casting team, six were put forward by professional agents, and six came through the general application.’
