LOVE ISLAND 2024: MEET THE CONTESTANTS

Why I Chose Love Island: The dating scene in Portsmouth hasn't been fruitful for me despite my attempts at meeting people in person and online. I made a spur-of-the-moment decision to apply for Love Island and was surprised to actually make it on the show.

"What are you planning to bring to the villa?" I have strong bonds with my girlfriends, and we support each other through thick and thin. In addition to my quest for love, I'll also be a dependable friend. Fashion is a passion of mine, so you can count on me to bring some style into the mix. I'm also pretty comical and enjoy making others laugh. Honesty is a crucial value that I uphold, which means I have a knack for detecting someone's true character and keeping an eye on those who may not be truthful.

I am at a stage in my life where all I want is the chance to establish a genuine bond with another person. For a considerable duration, I have been on the lookout for that kind of connection, but so far, I haven't been fortunate enough to achieve it. However, I am optimistic that I'll discover that special spark while in the Villa.

What message would you like to convey to the inhabitants of the island? My advice would be to refrain from making assumptions based solely on appearances, as my line of work doesn't correspond with my physical appearance. To be more specific, just because I'm a tall individual with a lot of tattoos, that doesn't mean I'm not capable of working as a hair stylist, and it's my job to make women look lovely.

I have something quite unique about myself that I would like to share with the people living on the island, and that is my disability. I was born with a medical condition called Ebs Palsy, but it does not define my identity. Even though it makes me stand out, I have learned how to cope with it and it has never stopped me from achieving my goals.

If your friends and family were to describe you, how do you think they would do it? According to my pals, I am the most outspoken individual in the clique, ever-ready to take on a challenge and the exuberant center of attention. As for my kin, they would simply say that I am controlling in nature, insisting on things being done my way or not at all. Essentially, they believe that I am the one calling all the shots.

Why Love Island? As a person who values relationships, I can attest that being with someone you love is incomparable. This moment feels like the right time to find that special someone who complements my soul.

If people close to me were to talk about me, they would use words such as affectionate, considerate, and compassionate. I have a nature that is always willing to help, even during the late hours, like if you suddenly faced a tire crisis on the highway and needed help.

JOB: Professional Dancer & Personal Stylist

What kind of goodies will you bring to the Villa? I'll be the one to provide some fun and excitement for everyone there, whether it’s making the ladies chuckle or catching the gents' attention. No doubt, I'll certainly stir up some fascinating situations.

Do you wanna know something cool? I'm a bit of a big deal in Brighton's IT scene! I've helped out rapper Arrdee by doing some personal shopping for him, and one of my closest buds is none other than YouTuber Saffron Barker.

If I go to the villa, I would bring a fun and joyful atmosphere with me. They could count on me to be a great conversationalist, and someone they could feel at ease with. I'm sure everyone would enjoy my company.

What makes you a good partner? Personally, I believe that my behavior towards others is filled with respect which others tend to appreciate. When you reveal your true self to someone, it often comes back to you in a much greater capacity. My positive energy has a way of making people feel at ease in my presence.

What things are you planning to take to the villa? In my view, I'll undoubtedly bring some liveliness. My viewpoint is firm and apparent, and I express my emotions openly. Additionally, I am enthusiastic and lively, so I will certainly make some jokes while also contributing some charm peculiar to Liverpool.

What makes you single? Well, I have a busy work schedule that usually requires me to work on weekends. Additionally, I don't socialize enough in Liverpool these days. Whenever I feel like going out, I prefer to head down to London as I absolutely adore the guys there - especially the tall, dark, and cockney ones, as they're my type.

What is the reason for your single status? Well, I haven't discovered the perfect match for me yet. I tend to be very selective and hold myself to high expectations. Trying to find a partner in London can be dreadful because it's difficult to know who is available. However, in this current situation, everyone is on the same page and relationship status is not an issue.

Do you want to know a fun fact about me? I happen to be friends with Spencer Morgan, who is the son of Piers Morgan. Our paths crossed when I relocated to Fulham back in 2018.

What's the deal with your relationship status? Personally, I find the experience of being single quite enjoyable and exciting. Exploring the company of multiple guys has its own charm. I relish the freedom to go on vacations with my girlfriends without feeling obligated to anyone back at home. While my fellow female friends are busy sending texts and holed up in their rooms, I am out there, living my best life until the wee hours of the morning.

What's a little-known fact about you? Well, back in 2011, I actually won a championship as a world-class dancer. Specifically, I was known for my skills in street dance and considered a professional in the scene. However, this isn't something most people know about me.

"What qualities are you looking for in a partner? Personally, I am attracted to individuals who prioritize their loved ones, have a compassionate nature, and are focused on their careers. When it comes to physical appearance, I tend to be drawn to blondes with attractive chests, but also have a liking for brunettes."

DO YOU KNOW HIM? Bradley Dack holds a special place in my heart as my closest pal, alongside Olivia who I affectionately refer to as my elder but younger sister, since she always has my back.

What are the reasons that you're not in a relationship? I understand that I may be difficult to handle. I have high standards and I won't settle for less. As a confident and sociable woman, some men may be scared off - they might prefer a quieter partner.

Do you have a preference for certain physical and personality traits in your ideal partner? Personally, I am drawn to individuals with sparkling white teeth, but overall, I just appreciate a nice smile. However, when it comes to personality traits, I find it important that my partner values family. As for physical attributes, I prefer someone who is tall - it just feels strange if I am taller than my significant other or have to worry about what heels I can wear around them. Therefore, if you are not on the taller side, we may not be the best match for each other.

What's your ideal match? While looks do matter, having a great sense of humor is essential to me. I love to joke around, so it's important that my partner can dish it back. Loyalty is also a top priority in my book - it's crucial for any successful relationship.

Are you looking for a way to get into the hottest clubs in town? Well, I've got a story to share with you. During my trip to Malia with my buddies, we were denied entry into one of the clubs. But I wasn't going to let that stop us from having a good time. I decided to pretend to be Liam Reardon from series 7, and what do you know, it worked! We got to party in a private booth and had drinks on the house all night long. So if you're looking for a clever way to gain entry to exclusive clubs, perhaps trying out a celebrity look-alike could do the trick.
