LOVE Island is set to get even hotter as the doors of Casa Amor open and a host of 12 new Islanders get ready to wreak havoc and ruin romances.

THE GIRLS

The 23-year-old business developer from Croydon has her eyes set on Danny and Anton when she enters the villa tomorrow night, although she has admitted she quite likes the look of Michael.
She revealed: “If I had my pick, I’d probably go for Michael but I feel like he’s coupled up.”
She added: “I’d say maybe Amber is my biggest competition.”
Top quote: “If it’s a friend I’ll have a conversation before approaching the guy, but in the villa I wouldn’t as I don’t owe it to them.”
Nabila Badda: Hostess from London

She said: “I don’t think they are in ‘relationships’ really yet, it’s only been a few weeks so I don’t see treading on toes as a big deal.”
Top quote: “If I met a millionaire, I’d rather they hid that from me. Also I can’t stand bad footwear. I don’t like old shabby shoes, I think it’s says a lot about you.”

She also admits that a wandering eye could be a good thing, saying: “Everyone likes a bit of eye candy and if you get to know a person and get on with them better than who you are with then maybe it’s meant to be – a wandering eye can be good in a selfish way.”
Top quote: “At the end of the day we are all in the villa for the same reason – to meet someone – so some times you might have to tread on toes but the same thing happens outside of the villa sometimes too.”

“She knows all about the show from her friendship with Danielle and is hoping she can find Mr Right.”
