Why Love Island and why now?

I’ve recently come out of a three year relationship, so it’s time for me to open a new chapter in my life, hopefully I’ll find love in the Villa!

What do you think you’ll bring to the Villa?

For the boys, entertainment, a bit of fun and flirting. I’ll definitely up the flirting. For the girls, I’m a really good friend.

What makes you a catch?

I’m really confident with the looks to match.

If there was one thing you’d want your new fellow Islanders to know about you, what would it be?

I’ll bring the entertainment for everyone in the Villa, whether that’s making the girls laugh or making the boys turn their heads, I’m sure that I’ll bring the drama.

Why would you say you’re single?

I’ve just not found the one yet, I haven’t met someone that ticks all the boxes.

How would friends/family describe you?

A really sparkly person, everyone needs a bit of Harriet B sparkle.

If you had to pick three of the most important things you look for in a partner what would they be?

Loyalty and trust, they come as one. Good looks and personality are important too, I need
some

What’s your claim to fame?

Being a bit of an IT girl in Brighton, I’ve done personal shopping for the rapper Arrdee and one of my best friends is Saffron Barker the YouTuber.

Tell us something not many people know about you? (Do you have any hidden talents or a party trick?)

I can do the splits. Whenever I’m having a few drinks, the splits come out.

If you had to pick three celebrities to be in the Villa with you as fellow Islanders who would they be and why?

David Beckham, he’s gorgeous. Channing Tatum. Ed Westwick from Gossip Girl, he’s 11 out of 10. The line ‘I’m Chuck Bass’ is something I think about all the time. He’s my Roman empire, I’d want a villa full of eye candy!
