Love Island's Danica Taylor sets her sights on Dancing on Ice after villa stint

Love Island star Danica Taylor has revealed her hopes to take part in Dancing on Ice following her time in the villa.

Danica, 21, rose to reality TV fame after she entered the Majorcan villa in a bid to find love. And after a difficult few weeks in the villa she is now smitten with footballer Jamie Allen.

Following her time in the villa, the opportunities will no doubt be flooding in for the rising star and we could expect to see her on our screens very soon as she revealed to the Mirror she has her sights set on Dancing on Ice.

Speaking exclusively to the Mirror at the Married At First Sight UK launch party this week, Danica opened up about the opportunities that could come her way.

"We'll just see. I'm an entertainer, I'm a performer," she said. "Anything really! I wanna be in the TV industry still, I'd love to carry on. But, we'll just see whatever comes my way and is organic for what I stand for."

And as we suggested Dancing on Ice, Danica replied: "I would love to but we shall see."

Danica, who recently revealed regrets over not confronting Paige Thorne in the villa, continued: "I would snap that up, yeah. It's very me, why not and I've always thought about doing stuff like that so yeah, it'd be great!"

If Danica was to compete on the ITV skating show she would join fellow former Islanders Wes Nelson and Liberty Poole who have also skated on the DOI rink – with Liberty finishing in ninth place while Wes was a runner up.

Following her exit from the show Liberty opened up about her experience on her Instagram page as she wrote: "I am so grateful to everyone who has been part of this incredible experience especially @joejohnsonice.

"We cannot thank everyone enough for all the support we’ve received over the last few weeks. We have had the most amazing time from start to finish and I have enjoyed every second of it

"I am so grateful to have been part of this incredible show and I wish everyone the best of luck!"

During Danica's time in the villa, she had her fair share of struggles as she found it difficult to spark a romantic connection with the Islanders before meeting Jamie.

However, she revealed that being confident helped her through the experience.

"I've been blessed with confidence from such a young age," Danica told the Mirror . "I've always believed in myself and I realise that me being me is my biggest power and no one can take that away from me and I think if I can give any of that to any other woman out there, then I'm going to do that."

She continued: "I'm going to continue pushing female empowerment and loving yourself because if you don't love yourself then no one else is going to do it for you. You have to love yourself and do you, there's only one you.

"And f**k what anyone thinks why would I care what Sarah down the road thinks – as an example. Only I care about what I think, as long as I'm doing myself proud and my mum and my family I don't really care what anyone else has to say.

"Everyone should be like that," the reality star insisted.
