WHY LOVE ISLAND? The pool in Portsmouth doesn’t matter. I tried dating, talking to people on social media, but it just wasn’t successful. Applying was spontaneous, I didn’t expect to end up here!
WHAT BRINGS YOU TO THE VILLA? My girls are my rocks and I am theirs so I will be a good friend and go out there to find a man. I like to dress up, so I bring style, and I like to think I’m quite funny so I’ll make people laugh. I also bring honesty – I’m good at noticing people’s personality traits and looking aside those who might be a liar.

WHAT DO YOU WANT THE ISLAND RESIDENTS TO KNOW? I have something very special about me which is my disability, it’s a condition I was born with called Ebs Palsy. It doesn’t define who I am, but it makes me a little different, even though I’ve learned to deal with it and it’s never held me back.
HOW WOULD FRIENDS/FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? My friends would say that I am the loudest person in the group, I am the one who is always up for a challenge, the life and soul of the party. My family would say I’m bossy and it’s always my way or the highway, they’d say I’m the boss.

WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I don’t underestimate that I work hard. I know what I want and I am not easily satisfied. Being a loud, outgoing woman can sometimes intimidate men; men don’t always want that.
WHAT IS YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? I like a white set of turkey teeth, but I like a good set of turkey teeth. I would say personality traits, you have to be family oriented. You have to be tall, you can’t be shorter than me, I shouldn’t have to doubt whether I can wear heels around you and what height heels I can wear. If you have a vertical challenge, this is not for me.
