Top quote: "If it’s a friend I’ll have a conversation before approaching the guy, but in the villa I wouldn’t as I don’t owe it to them."

Nabila is a hostess from London who is heading to the villa to find a guy that can be her best friend, have a laugh with and have cuddles with.

She said: "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."

Top quote: "If I met a millionaire, I’d rather they hid that from me. Also I can’t stand bad footwear. I don’t like old shabby shoes, I think it’s says a lot about you."

England footballer Ben Chilwell's ex Joanna is amongst the new beauties to enter iconic villa following their split last year.

The stunning recruitment consultant, 22, says that her worst personality trait is that she's too impulsive, while her biggest turn off in a guy is when they are self obsessed.

She also admits that a wandering eye could be a good thing, saying: "Everyone likes a bit of eye candy and if you get to know a person and get on with them better than who you are with then maybe it’s meant to be - a wandering eye can be good in a selfish way."

Top quote: "At the end of the day we are all in the villa for the same reason - to meet someone - so some times you might have to tread on toes but the same thing happens outside of the villa sometimes too."

Belle Hassan: Makeup artist from Bromley

She admitted: "He’s told me to be myself but has also warned me ‘I’m watching and I’m going to be seeing every detail!’"

Top quote: "I nearly crashed my car on a first date once… I had just passed my test and the guy was supposed to be directing me but he wasn’t doing a very good job, and then I panicked, and nearly crashed I cried in front of him."
