When asked about why she’s returning to the show, she said: “Not many people can say they’ve been on Love Island, let alone have done it twice!

“I think I’m known from season 2 for being so chaotic. People always ask, ‘Do you have regrets?’ expecting me to say yes, but I was so true to myself and I was 100% authentic”, she said. “I’ll still be like that now, but seven years on, I am more mature. I’m still the fiery pocket rocket but I know what I want and what I don’t want.”

But what does the former season two bombshell have in store for the Majorcan villa.
