Patsy already has a big claim to fame when it comes to Love Island.
She is very close friends with Lili Piper who is the lookalike sister of All Star Islander, Sophie Piper.
What condition does Love Island’s Patsy Field have?
Patsy has been very open about having Erb’s Palsy.
Its a condition that means one of her arms is shorter than the other and it also has less function.
The birth defect came after Patsy was delivered naturally rather than via Caesarean section.
It came about amid complications when her mother went into labour.
Sources are tipping Patsy to be a big success on Love Island for raising awareness for Erb’s Palsy.
An insider told the Mail: “Patsy is a brilliant signing for the show, she’s hilarious so will definitely bring good vibes and positive energy.
“She has never let her disability define her but she’s also excited for the opportunity to educate audiences who might not know about Erb’s palsy because awareness is key.”
What has Love Islander Patsy Field said about her disability?
Patsy has used her work as an Influencer to talk openly about her disability.
Speaking on social media, she told her followers: “One thing you guys don’t know about me is I have a disability.
“I have never spoken about it on here before because I am a bit self-conscious about it to be honest.
I was a normal, happy, healthy baby in my mama’s womb and the hospital f***ed up and gave me a disability, you f***ers.

“Pretty much everyone says they don’t notice it, or they have never noticed it before but once I tell you go back and look through my old videos, you’ll be able to spot it.”
Patsy went onto slam the hospital where she was born, and told fans: “I was a normal, happy, healthy baby in my mama’s womb and the hospital f***ed up and gave me a disability, you f***ers.
“I should have been a cesarean birth, but the midwife thought she could do it and she couldn’t… I was such a big baby, I was almost 11lb, a normal baby is like 7lb.
“I got stuck coming out of my mum… and they’re pulling and pulling and pulling and in the process of yanking me out, they have done some damage.
“They snapped the nerve that sends messages down from my brain down my spine to my right arm, messages are trying to send, and this computer says no.”
When will Patsy Field be on Love Island?
If Patsy is successful in being on Love Island, she will enter the villa on June 3, 2024, when the show kicks off.
The big launch night takes place on this day at 9pm on ITV2.
The show continues every night at this time except Saturdays, when a highlights episode airs instead.
Other rumoured Love Island 2024 cast include make-up artist Samantha Kenny from Liverpool.
Manchester-based model Grace Jackson could also be heading into the villa.
Another name being touted about is Welsh rugby player Ciaran Davies.
What is Erb's Palsy?
The condition stems from a difficult birth, when the baby’s head or arm is pulled during delivery.
This can damage nerves responsible for the movement and feeling to the arms.
In turn this can result in partial or full paralysis, depending on the level of damage caused.
Some 80-90 percent of children do fully recover, but it is entirely dependant on the amount of damage sustained.
