Who is Lucie Donlan in Love Island, how old is she and can she surf?

Without a doubt the Islander getting the most of us talking from the girls’ camp is Lucie Donlan.

The 21-year-old has not only turned the most heads, she has also been involved in the most drama from the start.

Heading into the Mallorcan villa armed with her favourite word - ‘bev’ - the model and surfer attracted attention from quite a few boys since stepping into the luxury pad.

After initially liking the look of tattooed firefighter Michael Griffiths, Lucie quickly swapped him for curly-haired Joe Garrett before boy bombshell Tommy Fury ‘stole’ her after just 24 hours.

Lucie already has a link to Love Island - she dated last year’s contestant Charlie Frederick after he was dumped following his very short appearance.

Due to her job as a surfer and model, she already has a strong following on Instagram and classes TOWIE’s Joey Essex as a pal.

Lucie has appeared in a number of magazines including Coast, High Tide and Wed.

While she admits she is “not the best surfer”, she can indeed surf - and skateboard by the looks of her YouTube videos.

Explaining what makes her different from other girls, Lucie said: “I stand out and I’m different to the usual girls that might go on the show.

“I’m more into sports as well as being glam. I can do both, which makes me stand out compared to other girls. I just don’t like hanging out with girly girls too much.

“I like hanging out with guys because they’re into the same type of sports… less drama really.”

Speaking of what kind of guy she usually goes for, you won’t be surprised to hear that she likes the “typical surfer look”.

She said: “I find sporty guys so much more attractive compared to your average guy that just chills and goes on nights out. I’d rather have someone that could come and surf with me and then I could go and do their cool sport.”

But while she has no problem attracting boys, it seems she struggles to maintain a relationship due to getting bored very easily.

“I can cut boys off very quickly, that’s pretty bad I’d say,” she said. “If they really like me, I can be like ‘Whatever, bye.’ I can switch off really quickly.”
