Why did you want to return to Love Island?
“I want to find real love, that would be amazing… I had love during my time on Love Island Australia, and it was really nice!”
What will you do differently this time?
“I was quite young when I entered the Love Island Villa in Series 7, I was overthinking things loads. Now that I’m older, I’m definitely more confident in my own skin with much more life experience, so I think my approach will naturally be different from before.
“I am a girls’ girl but I don’t want to be afraid to say what I think and see what happens. I don’t want to waste time, I’m 26. I want to be with someone I can see a future with.”
What would you say to people who think it’s too soon for you to be back on Love Island?
“I’m single! I think people will say it’s too soon after winning Love Island Games but Games was a completely different experience and I went on Love Island Australia because I was single and looking to find love. I guess I’ve been on a bit of a Love Island journey over the past few years but I’ve not found the ultimate one.
“I’m single, so having been given the opportunity to try and find a guy on Love Island: All Stars, why would I say no?! It’ll be a full circle moment, and why the hell not? I’m still young, YOLO. I’m single! Love Island is such a fun experience, I love being in the Villa. You’re just flirting away living your best life with all of these sexy guys and making new friends.”
Who have you got your eye on in the villa?
“I think Ciaran’s really good looking. I know Scott, I think he’s a bit too ‘busybody’ for me…Sean is quite funny, he’s not my usual type, but I think I’d get along with him well. Shaq’s good looking as well and seems really nice.”
Love Island All Stars airs nightly at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
