Tina is 25, and from Newcastle

New Islander Tina is 25, and she’s from Newcastle. Ahead of going into the villa, she said: “I want someone flirty, funny, and kind-hearted. I’d like someone quite loud as well. I love a weird boy, someone who’s a bit different.”

The one thing she hates in a person, is anyone who is nasty. When asked what type of person she would hate to run into in the villa, Tina said: “A nasty one. Someone who makes b*tchy comments, puts people down, and is horrible for no reason. That’s really the only type of person that would bother me.”

She added: “I’m here to find love. I’m really excited about that. I’m not really a drama girl, so I’m not going in there to cause drama or make a massive deal out of things. But if someone is disrespectful or nasty, I’m not just going to sit there and accept it. I’ll have a proper conversation with them because stuff like that really irritates me.”

She’s a shot girl

When she’s not stirring up the Love Island villa, Tina is a shot girl. Her Instagram shows her working as a shot girl at festivals, and also shows her working as a ring girl.

However, according to her LinkedIn, she’s also an account manager. Her profile doesn’t look like it’s been updated very much, though.

‘They need to be a bit weird because I’m a bit weird too’

Tina said her “love life has been awful” and she needs to find a partner who matches her weirdness. “I stick my tongue out all the time and I don’t know why, it’s so weird. I do it when I’m nervous as well as when I’m flirting,” she explained.

Speaking of her villa strategy, she added: “I’m going to speak to all of the boys. There are a couple I’ve got my eye on, but personality is a huge thing for me. I need to bounce off someone, vibe with them, and they need to be a bit weird because I’m a bit weird too.”

As you could probably expect from a northern party girl, Tina’s Instagram is a wild ride. It looks as though she’s always on a night out, or party holiday.

She’s recently been to Thailand, Australia, Amsterdam and Ibiza. When she’s not jetting off around the world, she’s sipping drinks with friends. I’m jealous!
