Love Island 2021's Liberty Poole is 'social butterfly' Nando's waitress

The third Love Island contestant has been revealed as student and Nando's waitress Liberty Poole.

Liberty, 21, from Birmingham is a marketing student and works at Nando's around her studies.

After being messed around by "players" Liberty is entering the Love Island villa looking for a "nicer guy."

She said: "I like tall, alpha male, confident, a cheeky chappy sort of guy.

"But obviously that’s always usually combined with player types, which is where I go wrong. So I am trying to change my ways and go for more of a nicer guy that is going to treat me right."

Liberty said she's never had a "happy" relationship and decided to apply for Love Island to have "the best summer ever".

She said: "I've never had that nice, happy relationship so I think it will be nice and something for me to experience.

"Obviously I want the best summer ever because we have been in lockdown for a year so it would be nice to go away and enjoy the sun and make friends as well. I’m excited, I’m a bit of a social butterfly so I love to meet new people.

"I’m a girls’ girl as well so I can’t wait for the girly friendships. It’s going to be fun!"

Liberty said she's never had a date at Nando's but has had lots of interesting things happen to her during her time working there, including getting a marriage proposal.

Liberty said: "I’ve had people try and rinse me for a date at Nando’s, get the discount and stuff. But I’ve never had a date in one.

"I’ve had a few things happen at work. I’ve had a napkin shaped as a rose given to me which was cute, that was when I first started working there and then I’ve been proposed to. It was a bit unexpected!

"He was on his own, he’d come into the restaurant every week and he got down on one knee and was like, ‘Will you marry me?’. But in his hand, it was a charity support badge not a diamond ring or nothing.

"So I was thinking, that’s one way of saying I’m a charity case when it comes to love!"

*Love Island starts at 9pm Monday 28th June on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox
