Leah Taylor has some amazing celebrity connections, a famous ex-boyfriend and some Love Island connections already - so who is she? And what does she do for a job? Here's all the interesting details you need to know including who she is currently coupled up with.
Love Island welcomed Leah Taylor just weeks into the show where she joined with her fellow contestant Charlotte Sumner.
Keen to find herself a man, Leah confessed while she has high expectations, she won't be settling for less and it seems she could have found just the man in the form of Montel McKenzie.
Quite the interesting character, Leah has certainly impressed some of the guys in the villa with either her personal business achievements, her dancing skills or her famous Love Island connections.
Here's everything you need to know including her age, Instagram and where she's from.
Age: 27
From: Manchester
Job: Social Media Marketer
Instagram: @leahjtaylorr
Leah isn't just a pretty face as she also runs her own social media marketing business in Manchester following her career change from being a dancer.
Performing with the likes of Rita Ora and Camila Cabello, Leah knows just how to move - a backflip is even her party trick!
But while she's an impressive date, her partner has a few rules to follow as small things can easily turn her off.

She said her icks are: "When a guy has a yoghurt and takes the lid off and licks it. Another one is when guys try to shout and they don’t have a shouting voice. I’m only little but I can shout the house down if I need to."
Currently, Leah is getting to know Montel McKenzie who proved just how serious he is about her in a recent episode.
The couple, who were growing stronger by the day, were faced with Casa Amor and while they both came back for one another, Montel's behaviour raised question marks for Leah after she found out he kissed Tink.
In a bid to make it up to her, he made a formal apology by standing on the villa terrace in front of everyone which eventually won her over.
Leah is no stranger to dating a man of Love Island status as she was previously in a relationship with Danny Williams.
The couple dated in 2020 after he appeared on the show in 2019. Not much is known about their relationship but it's reported they were together for around two years.
Proving her Love Island connections are strong, Leah is best friends with none other than Maura Higgins.
Talking about her bestie, she said: "My favourite thing I’ve ever watched is Maura’s best bits. She’s one of my best friends so we watched it together one night and couldn’t stop laughing, she’s hilarious.”
There are also reports that Leah and Molly Marsh were previously friends before being ruined in the Love Island villa.
