Love Island's Shaughna Phillips has kept tight-lipped about TOWIE connection

Love Island contestant Shaughna Phillips already has famous friends.

She has failed to mention she has a reality TV connection ahead of entering the villa.

The democratic service worker, 25, from London, is reportedly pals with TOWIE's Yazmin Oukhellou, 26, and often parties with her.

The boutique owner and islander are said to share a mutual pal - Lily McCorry - who introduced the pair, according to The Sun.

A recent Instagram snap shows TOWIE's Yazmin and Shaughna posing up a storm with their mutual pal taken from a night on the tiles.

Other islanders boasted about their celebrity connections during interviews ahead of the 2020 series of the romance show airing.

Sophie Piper happily boasting her sister is Rochelle Humes and Paige Turley did not mind name-dropping her ex Lewis Capaldi.

But Shaughna remained tight-lipped about knowing Yaz.

Talking before entering the villa, the pretty aspiring model described why she's the perfect Islander.

She said: "I’m chatty, funny and clever – people won’t expect it from me. When they hear me speak about certain things they’ll be shocked. I like to get on with everyone, too."

And when it came to describing her ideal man, she said: "Funny, a little bit smart, not smarter than me as I’d get really annoyed.

"I want someone I can watch the news with and have a conversation about it. I also want someone that gets along with their parents and who dresses nice and looks nice although looks aren’t everything."

The bombshell also revealed how she rates herself.

She candidly told: "When I’m dressed up probably a solid 7.5. I’d say my best feature would probably be my lips. I spent enough money on them!"

* Love Island kicks off at 9pm on Sunday, January 12 on ITV2
