WHY ENTER THE VILLA? I’m single and looking for love, and it’s the perfect opportunity for me to find someone. I’m kind of a relationship girl, but so far it hasn’t worked out for me.
WHY THAT WITH ME? I’m really caring, when I’m with someone I’m all for them. I am also very loyal and love to do nice things for the people that are special to me. My love language is gift-giving, so I’m a real giver when it comes to relationships

ACTIVITY: Actress
WHY LOVE ISLAND AND WHY NOW? I think it’s the ideal timing and the perfect way to find someone.
I don’t go out to party and I don’t use dating apps, I’m actually quite old fashioned so there’s no better way to meet someone than by entering a villa in the sun with the potential ‘one’ in there.

ACTIVITY: Aesthetic practitioner
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? Because every boy is scaring the hell out of me right now. I feel like it’s fate because I’m saving myself from Mr Right in the Villa!
WHAT GIVES YOU THE ICK? If a man stunts for money, that’s an ick. Showing off all their designer clothes because most of the time they are probably fake anyway! Another is when a boy runs to the train and the train goes without him. Lunch boxes too – just go to Tesco and get a meal deal!

DO YOU FALL IN LOVE QUICKLY? This is hard because I would have said I burn slowly, but I think that’s because I’ve been more closed off in the past. Honestly I’m such a hopeless romantic and now that I know what I want I can’t wait to fall in love again.
DO YOU HAVE ANY CLAIMS TO FAME? When I was a dancer, I actually danced at the EMAs and danced for Rita Ora and Camila Cabello. Maura Higgins is one of my best friends and we watched her best bits together one night and couldn’t stop laughing, she’s hilarious.
