Why Love Island and why now?
I’ve been single for two years now and my love life just isn’t really working. I’m a believer in fate.
What do you think you’ll bring to the Villa?
I’m quite a funny person. I do love a bit of a gossip as well.
What’s your ‘elevator pitch’ for why someone should want to date you?
Firstly I think I’ve got quite a big personality and I’ve got a heart of gold. I can stand up for myself if I need to. I’m honest, and I love, love. I’m also a really good girlfriend.
How would friends/family describe you?
They would say that I’m a drama queen, unique, loud, crazy and bright.
Best / worst date story?
I went out with a guy and he picked me up in his black Lamborghini and at every traffic light there were people jumping out to take a picture with the car and it was just such an ick. I usually would love the attention but he was stunting for it. It was a bit cringey, especially when I’d only just met him.
What gives you the ‘ick’?
When a guy stunts for money, that’s an ick. Showing off all their designer clothes because most of the time they’re probably fake anyway! Another one is when a boy runs for the train and the train goes without him. Lunch Boxes also - just go to Tesco and get a meal deal!

If there was one thing you’d want your new fellow Islanders to know about you, what would it be?
I used to live in Spain - I lived there until I was 10.
Why would you say you’re single?
Because every boy is giving me the ick at the moment. I feel like it’s fate because I’m saving myself for Mr Right in the Villa!

Do you fall in love quickly?
Yes, I do fall really quickly and sometimes it’s not a good thing.
If you had to pick three of the most important things you look for in a partner what would they be?
Independence and someone who can drive. I want to be the passenger princess! They need to have a good personality too.
Tell us something not many people know about you?
I was a professional street dancer when I was younger and went to the British Championships.
This year marks series 10 of Love Island. Do you have a favourite show moment from any of the previous seasons?
Maura, she was so funny but also when Davide said “Fake as the Louis Vuitton in China”
If you had to pick three celebrities to be in the Villa with you as fellow Islanders who would they be and why?
Three is hard, but definitely Joey Essex!
If money was no object, what would be your ideal first date?<?b>
I would love to go to a jungle sanctuary to see the elephants and wash them, that would be so cute.
