LOVE ISLAND 2019 CAST: WHO IS NEW LOVE ISLAND ARRIVAL MOLLY-MAE HAGUE?
“All the dates I’ve been on have been guys from Instagram,” she explained.
“A few footballers have slid into my DMs.
“I’ve dated footballers, it’s all just superficial and on the surface,” she continued. “And then you get to know them and they’re just a bang average Jack the Lad.”
The Love Island newcomer also spilled all on a disastrous date with a footballer she chose not to name.
“One time I got asked to go to this guy’s house and he said he’d pay me the money back for my taxi there,” she recalled.
“He was a footballer and he lived a long way away from me.
“When I left I told him to just transfer me a quarter of the cost, trying to be polite and he fully did! Even though he asked me to go and he was a Premier League footballer who could totally afford the whole cost!”
Molly-Mae said her type on paper was someone who could make her laugh, revealing her celebrity crush is “someone like Channing Tatum”.
“I love big tall guys that make me feel petite and protected,” she said.
In tonight’s instalment of Love Island, Molly-Mae will enter the villa to turn up the heat.
In her introduction, which was aired last night, she called herself a “confident” and “very independent woman”.
“I do always go for a bad boy but if they take the p**s too much, it is definitely game over.” she insisted.
The Love Island star also revealed she isn’t “looking for arguments” but said she’s be happy to get the claws out in order to stand up or herself.
Fans have been voting for which boy they want to send on a date with the new arrival, with tensions bound to rise even higher when she turns up tonight.
Elsewhere on the ITV2 dating show, viewers saw the contestants shaken up when Tommy Fury, 20, and Curtis Pritchard, 23, had to choose which girls to couple up with.
Tommy chose Lucie Donlan, 21, and Curtis paired up with Amy Hart, 27, thus leaving Joe Garrett, 22, and Anton Danyluk, 24, single.
Love Island 2019 continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
