Meet Nabila Badda, the Casa Amor Love Islander with eyes on Anton
She describes herself as feisty and exciting
Casa Amor is finally here. There are 12 new Islanders ready to shake things up and test the Love Island couples. One of those is Nabila Badda. She's a model (of course) and is definitely going to ruffle some feathers in the Casa Amor villa.
Here's everything we know about Love Island new girl Nabila Badda, who is one of the six Casa Amor girls.
Nabila Badda is a 29-year-old hostess from London
Love Island new girl Nabila is 29 and lives in London. She's a hostess and a published model. She's signed to Base Models, an agency which also has two of the cast of Shipwrecked 2019 on their books.
According to their website, Nabila is 5ft7, a size eight dress size and size five shoe. Interesting.
She describes herself as exciting, bubbly and feisty
She said: "I’m exciting, bubbly and I’m feisty enough that if I want something I’ll go for it. Also I’ve got that exotic look that I think the villa is missing. My family are from Morocco and there hasn’t been an Arabian Princess in the villa yet this year! I’ll get on well with the boys and want to meet a guy that I can be best friends with, have a laugh with but also have cuddles in the evening with.
"I’m funny and quick witted, I don’t hold grudges and I get along with everyone – I’m an all rounder! My bad traits are that I’m stubborn, I cut my nose off to spite my face and if I don’t get what I want, I can be childish."
She would rate her looks an eight out of 10
When asked to rate her looks she said: "With makeup on and when I’m feeling it, I would say I’m an eight. No one is a 10, let’s be real! I like my eyes and I like the fact that I have hips, my hips are really shapely so I like my hourglass figure."
Her ideal guy is someone who keeps her on her toes
She said: "I need to be kept on my toes and need a guy who knows what he wants. He needs to be funny and we need to bounce off each other.
"I usually get to know someone as a friend first and then it blossoms. I’ve tried dating apps but it’s awkward. I have slid into DMs once, then we saw each other out and about and then started dating. I like the guy to chase me but in that instance, I chased him but I got what I wanted."
Nabila's celebrity crush is Chris Hemsworth.
Nabila has her eyes on Anton
She said: "I have got my eye on Anton. I think he is cheeky and I think he’s misunderstood by the girls in the villa. He is my vibe, he’s got a great personality and he is funny and entertaining."
Not quite the same as Chris Hemsworth though, is he?
She's not afraid to tread on people's toes
She said: "This sounds egotistical but as long as I make it clear I like someone, then I don’t think it’d be that hard to get a guy. I need to make it clear if I find someone attractive and then see if we vibe. I don’t think they are in ‘relationships’ really yet, it’s only been a few weeks so I don’t see treading on toes as a big deal."
Before entering the Casa Amor villa, Nabila had 8,700 Instagram followers
Nabila Badda's Instagram handle is @nabilabadda. She currently has just over 8,700 followers, but if she does cause a stir in Casa Amor then that number will go up A LOT.
Her Instagram is a bunch of modelling shots, pictures of her out for drinks and food and selfies.
