It’s time to say ‘Do one winter’ because the hotly anticipated series, Love Island, returns to ITV2 this Sunday – and this time it’s in scorching South Africa.
Kicking off on Sunday the 12th at 9pm on ITV2, it’s time to cancel those rainy-day plans as another sizzling line-up of singles head to the brand new luxury villa in Cape Town. Laura Whitmore will present the main show which airs every night at 9pm on ITV2 apart from Saturdays when Love Island: Unseen Bits will be bringing viewers all of the best unseen and exclusive action from the villa.
Laura will also host Love Island: Aftersun, which will air live from London on Monday nights at 10pm. As they flirt, date, break up and make up our Islanders will be trying to capture the hearts of each other – and the nation – as the viewers decide their favourite couple and declare them the Love Island series 6
winners.
So whose heads will be turned? Who will be dumped from the Island? And who will couple up and be inwith a chance of winning a share of the £50k prize money?
Team DGWGO are backing 22 Year old Scottish Stunner, singer, Paige Turley from west lothian who was once scottish music sensation Lewis Capaldi’s girlfriend.
Paige answered these questions –
What makes you the perfect Love Islander?
I’m naturally flirty, I think it’s nice to flirt, it
feels good. I’m from a small village where
everyone knows each other or has been an ex
of someone. I want to find someone who is
different, and outside the small village
mentality.
Describe yourself in 3 words.
Loud. Boisterous. Fun.
How would you rate your looks on a scale of
1 to 10 and what would you say is your best
feature?
An 8 if I’m feeling good. Eyes are my best
feature.
What is your worst habit?
I’m on my phone constantly, mainly on social
media. I feel like I’m not in the room as much
as I should be. I think that’s what I’m going to
struggle with the most in the villa, not having
my phone.
Describe your ideal man.
It’s so cliché, but tall, dark and handsome. He’s
got to be quite witty with a bit of banter and
something about him. I like a guy with a strong
personality, he knows who he is and what he
wants.
Who is your celebrity crush?
Tom Hardy.
What song sums up your love life?
Highway to Hell by AC/DC – my dates don’t
know what they’re letting themselves in for!
How do you tend to meet dates?
When I’m out or through social media. You
play the liking ping pong – they’ll like me, then
I’ll like their pictures for a while…
What’s been your most disastrous
date/dating experience?
Last year I went on a date and got drunk pretty
quickly. I woke up the next day with vomit in
my hair and I was in my ex boyfriend’s bed. I’d
vomited all over his bed while he had slept on
the couch. I had all these texts and FaceTimes
and missed calls from the guy I’d been on the
date with who I must have just left. I woke up
and my ex said, ‘I hope you have a hangover!’
Describe the ideal first date?
I like music, I like cocktails. Something quite
relaxed. In the sun would be ideal.
What’s the best or worst chat up line thatsomeone has used on you, or you have used
yourself?
If someone said a cheesy chat up line, I’d
probably slate them to the hills!
What’s an immediate turn off for you in a
guy?
Arrogance. I like someone who is confident but
if they’re too much and it’s borderline cocky,
I’m not interested.
How far are you prepared to go in the villa
to get the guy you want?
I do want to go in and make friends but we are
all there to find love. I’m going to express how
I feel.
Will you be loyal or do you have a
wandering eye?
If it’s the right guy and I like them enough, I’ll
be loyal. If the wandering eye comes that’s a
sign it’s not right.
What’s your definition of the girl code?
You don’t go near each other’s men or exes.
You have each other’s back, you are there for
them in good times and bad times.
What’s your claim to fame?
Lewis Capaldi is my ex boyfriend. We went out
when we were younger, I was about 17 or 18.
We were together for about a year. It ended
really amicably and we’re still pals.
Have you got any New Year’s resolutions?
I’m strong-minded so I need to ease up a bit
and use it in the right way.
Fun Fact: When I was 14 I was on Britain’s Got
Talent as a solo singer and I got to the semifinals. I sang Skinny Love by Birdy.
