Opening up about taking part in the show, the beauty queen said it has become a "running joke" between her friends that she should try to find love in the villa.

"It's probably because I’m the most outrageous one out of the group," she said.

"But also because of COVID and the lockdown, I’m the only single one in my friendship group.

"They’re either married or planning on getting married. I don’t want to be the only one in the group chat that is single anymore!"

Aaron Francis

Aaron Francis is a 24-year-old Events Host from London.

He has been single for six or seven months now and is ready to start dating again.

And it turns out he has a few claims to fame as he actually worked on Eugenie and Beatrice’s wedding over the summer.

Speaking about the royal event, Aaron said: "It was nice and intimate. Everyone’s chill. In my job you meet a lot of famous people… unless you’re Beyonce, I’m not really interested."

Liberty Poole

Working in Nando's, Liberty said she once received a napkin in the shape of a rose from a customer and has even been proposed to.

Opening up about what we can expect from Liberty, she said: "I've never had that nice, happy relationship so I think it will be nice and something for me to experience.

"Obviously I want the best summer ever because we have been in lockdown for a year so it would be nice to go away and enjoy the sun and make friends as well.

"I’m excited, I’m a bit of a social butterfly so I love to meet new people. I’m a girls’ girl as well so I can’t wait for the girly friendships. It’s going to be fun!"

Hugo Hammond

24-year-old Hugo is a P.E. teacher from Hampshire.

Opening up about his job, Hugo said: "I teach secondary school PE. Absolutely love my job.

Hugo has also played cricket professionally for England PD (Physical Disability).

He was born with 'clubfoot' - also called talipes - which is where a baby has a foot or feet that turn in and under.

"I had lots of operations when I was a kid," Hugo said, adding: "You can only really tell when I walk barefoot. I’ve got a really short achilles heel. I walk slightly on my tip toes."

Shannon used to be a glamour model when she was 18 and said she "loved those days", adding: "I’ve got nothing to be ashamed of, they were my glory days.
