The publish claims she’s going to carry “glam and big energy to the Villa”.
On why she is happening Love Island, she stated: “I’m single and looking for love, and it’s the perfect opportunity for me to find someone.
“I’m a relationship kind of girl, but so far it’s not worked out for me. So I’m looking forward to hopefully finding the right person in the Villa.”
She added: “I’m really caring, when I’m with someone I’m all about them. I’m also really loyal and love doing nice things for the people that are special to me.

It would be the first summer season sequence Jama will host, after making her debut throughout the winter sequence in South Africa earlier this 12 months, changing former presenter Laura Whitmore.
Jama hailed the programme as “the original reality show”, including: “It was unheard of back in the day that you could sit and watch couples meet and unfold and then all the drama that comes with it and the breakups and the makeups.
“I think us as humans, we watch and comment on people’s relationships, maybe in a restaurant or something and be like, ‘they look cute’ and I wonder if they’re going to last, but to actually see it unfold over the space of a few months – it’s just great television I think.
Asked what advice she would give to contestants, she said: “I would tell them just have fun. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You’re never going to be in this position again, unless maybe you get brought back later years.
“But enjoy it and just fall in love if you can, be open to all the opportunities.”
Voting opens on Thursday morning at 8am on the Love Island app and closes on Friday at 9pm.
Love Island returns to ITV2 and ITVX on June 5.
