How would you describe your type on paper?
“I’d say petite, natural features and somebody that looks after themselves. Personality-wise, I’d like someone that doesn’t take themselves too seriously and has some type of ambition.”
What kind of person do you hope doesn’t walk through the door?
“Somebody with an ego, I just can’t do ‘me, me me’ all the time! Or somebody that’s caught in the present and doesn’t have any long term aspirations or goals. It is good to be in the moment sometimes, but being able to find that balance is good.”
How is your flirting game?
“The one liners every time! I’ve got a good gauge of things, I don’t cross the line of cheesy or corny. If I’m messaging someone and I’ve met them and there’s a day or two with no communication, the first thing I’m saying is ‘all this time you haven’t shouted at me’ with an upside down smiley face… that works every time.”
How do you plan to handle the competition?
“Being in football my whole life, I’ve naturally got that competitive nature so there’s nothing I’d shy away from! I back myself, there’s a very thin line between ego and confidence. I have a lot of confidence. That’s probably the area of my life where I have the most confidence, with girls.”
Love Island airs nightly at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
