So far fans have seen her stunning figure in a bikini as she worked out with love interest Matthew.

But viewers were surprised to see a different look as she took a mirror selfie while wearing her scrubs at work.

Sharing the picture, Priya's family wrote on Instagram: "Meet Priya, our newest islander!

"Having spent the year running ultramarathons, working night shifts in the COVID ICU and studying for her 5th year at medical school, Priya is ALWAYS up for a challenge.

"After going on every socially distanced date you can possibly imagine (zoom included 😂), she’s ready for a summer of love!"

Despite her hectic work in hospital, Priya has taken time off this summer to find love in the villa - and fans have been taken aback by her gorgeous looks.

One said: "Priya is ridiculously gorgeous!"

Another added: "Priya has the most beautiful big cartoon eyes omg in love."

Talking about entering the villa, Priya said: "I thought it was a challenge, it’s something different.

"I’m single and I’m looking for love and I thought this would be a great opportunity for me to take me out of my comfort zone.

"I’m nearing the end of medical school so I’ve got my career on track, but now I just need a man!";

And revealing how tough the last year has been in her profession amid the coronavirus pandemic, she added: "I feel like this year in particular has been so intense because of Covid.

"Our studies were interrupted midway and we were all told if we wanted to we could help out during the pandemic so I was working in ICU for the whole of February.

"You would come back after every shift exhausted so there definitely wasn’t any time for dating or relationships. 

"The NHS has been really tough in the ICU with the long hours, but I find it so rewarding and it’s made me really resilient.

"Being here is good for me because it’s something absolutely different to my job."
