Love Island’s new bombshell Rachel thinks one islander is ‘boyfriend material’

Love Island’s new bombshell Rachel Finni has her eyes set on three boys, and thinks one of them is ‘boyfriend material.’

The 29-year-old from London entered the villa on Friday in a dramatic turn of events, as the series’ first recoupling left Brad and Chuggs single. It will be up to Rachel to decide who to save tomorrow night (Monday, July 5.)

But it turns out the luxury travel specialist has her eyes set on three islanders who are already coupled up.

She told ITV: “Aaron is very attractive and seems down to earth. Our jobs are similar so I think we’d have interesting conversations.

“Hugo seems like boyfriend material - handsome, charming - and I’d like to crack his shell a bit more.

“And Toby - he’s attractive, cheeky. I’d definitely have a lot of fun with him but I need to see if he’s worth pursuing.”

Aaron is coupled up with Sharon after Friday night’s reshuffle, and Toby and Kaz are keen to get to know each other better after their first date.

Chloe saved Hugo in the recoupling but it appears the two might just be friends.

Speaking about what made her want to take part in the show, Rachel said: “It’s a combination of two things - I’ve always been a fan of the show. It’s a great experience, you meet great people. I’m someone who loves to live my life to the best.

“I’ve scraped the bottom of the dirtiest barrels, that’s how I describe my dating life. So I thought ‘why not? Let’s apply. If it happens, it happens.’”

The stunner wasn't backwards in coming forwards in saying what she wants from the show.

“I think it’s an amazing way to spend the last year of my 20s, doing something that fulfils me emotionally as well. It’s more than going on Love Island for the sake of it. I’m doing it because I love the show and I need someone to marry me.”

Rachel - whose secret crush is DJ Calvin Harris - has described herself as ‘very independent’ and says she ‘doesn’t need a man for anything.’

“I love the way modern relationships are, she said. “I don’t need a man for anything.

“I can buy my own home and take care of myself. I just love knowing I have another person there that I’m going through life with. But I genuinely have no type. As long as you are sexy, smell nice, don’t bite your nails or chew loudly, have me!”

She says she is "ready to date in the most unconventional way."

"That’s what I’m ready for," she said. "I feel like I deserve it!"

She described her perfect date as a ‘complete surprise.’

“I wouldn’t want to know it was coming,” she said.

“Like a scavenger hunt, you go somewhere whether it's a nice restaurant or somewhere candle lit. You’re having a laugh and then you go home and you have dessert or watch your favourite film and then rip your clothes off or whatever!”

Love Island continues Sunday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox
