Love Island returned earlier this week for a new series of nightly reality TV drama, so by now viewers are more than acquainted with the line-up of villa occupants who are all hoping to find The One in Majorca this summer.
One star of the show, Samantha Kenny, a 26-year-old makeup artist from Liverpool, has caught attention thanks to her being picked by newcomer Joey Essex – which left her original partner, Sam Taylor, dumped from the island.
Before entering the villa, Samantha told ITV: "I'm very opinionated and wear my heart on my sleeve. I'm really bubbly too so I'll definitely have a laugh as well as bringing some Scouse glamour."

Speaking to reporters ahead of her stint in the reality show, Samantha explained that she's keen on keeping fit with exercise, loves skincare and has had Botox.

"I get it every couple of months. So, I get it at Christmas and then I get it at the beginning of the summer."
The 26-year-old added: "So, I've had my Botox done and I've had like a facial, switched up my skincare, but that's it really. I get my lips done, but these haven't been touched since Christmas. So other than that, I haven't really done much."

Talking about her type, the reality star said: "I love a cockney boy so I'm hoping there is one in there for me.
"If I want a night out I go down to London as I love boys down south. Tall, dark and cockney is my type."
