Anna-May on signing up for Love Island
Welsh contestant Anna-May Robey opened up about the months leading up to her jetting of to South Africa in a bid to find love.
She opened up on how her parents weren’t thrilled with the decision at first as they feared that it won’t be the right move for her, however, then they got on board and were very supportive.
She told : “I kind of went in not expecting anything when I came out. They cut the social media as well this year, so the social media following is a lot less than what it would have been if I’d have been on the summer series.
“The process started for me at the end of November and then I flew out in January so it was really, really quick. To be honest with you, I didn’t really want to tell anyone about it.
“At the beginning, my parents were a bit like, ‘Oh God, I don’t know if this is the right thing for you to do,’ but when I started getting to the next stage, and the next stage, and the processes started getting really exciting, they became more excited than I was!”

Fans all say the same thing about Will after strange reunion appearance
Love Island fans were all left saying the same thing last night after farmer Will made a rather strange appearance in the reunion.
The farmer certainly did not let anyone steal his spotlight as he put on an over-exaggerated display and answered each question Maya threw at him in an over-the-top manner.
It was a stark contrast to Jessie who was left barely able to speak as she insisted she had been having ‘too much fun’ outside the South African villa hence why her voice appeared to be croaky.
Writing on Twitter, one fan said: “Will has to be drunk.”
Another echoed: “Will is so drunk.”
A fellow viewer asked: “Is Will drunk?”
A third penned: “Will is erratic.”
