Love Island's Jess Harding claims former star slid into her DMs but he's 'too old'

Love Island beauty Jess Harding has revealed a former star of the show has slid into her DMs but claims he is "too old".

The 22-year-old is one of 10 new singletons heading to Majorca looking for love in the 10th series of the popular ITV2 reality dating show, which starts tonight at 9pm.

Jess already runs her own successful West London cosmetic procedure company Candy Aesthetics and has certainly caught the eye with some household names.

One of those is series one alum Jon Clark, 33, who went on to finish as runner-up after he proposed to Hannah Elizabeth while on the show in 2015.

Jon and his brother Chris Clark later joined ITV2's The Only Way Is Essex in 2016.

Jon then dated Chloe Crowhurst, who appeared in the third series of Love Island, a year later.

Ahead of her arrival in the Spanish villa, Jess has said some famous faces have sent her a message, including Jon who "fancies the pants off me" and professional footballers.

She told The Sun : "I’ve had a couple of famous men slide into the DMs, you know Jon Clark, he fancies the pants off me, bless him, but he's too old.

"Then you know the little blue ticks that have 9,000 followers, and they think they are prestigious footballers but they're actually on the reserves/under 21s."

Jess' business offers fat dissolving treatments, fillers, Botox and Brazilian bum lifts and she has admitted that she has been having cosmetic surgery for four years.

She first started dabbling in her own procedures aged just 18, but now has more since joining the industry - after she was sacked from her job at a plumbers.

"When it’s cheap and you can get someone else to do it for you, you can’t really turn it down," Jess said.

"Considering it’s my job I don’t actually have a lot done. I think a lot of practitioners do have their whole face jabbed, but I do stick to the natural look.

"I’ve had a little bit of Botox and just a bit of cheek and chin filler and lips.

She added: "I had my lips done, since I was 18 I had such little lips, but it started off getting a little bit in my cheeks, just because it gives off that nice contour, it just gives a structure to the face.

"I don’t think it looks fake or anything like that."

Love Island starts tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
