Meet new Love Island bombshell Rebecca who was a Miss England contestant

New Love Island bombshell Rebecca Gormley is set to shake things up in the South Africa sunshine after being introduced as a newcomer to the villa.

Rebecca, 21, from Newcastle, is a part-time model and carer who won Miss Newcastle in 2018 and came sixth in last year's Miss England contest - and now she's looking for love on the ITV2 dating show .

She already has her eye on three of the men in the villa - Connagh, Callum and Mike - and she says her ideal man would be a ‘Jack the lad’.

"He’s got to be the centre of attention, easy to get along with, and someone who gets involved with the chat," she explained.

Rebecca, who describes herself as loud, outgoing, fearless and spontaneous, says her celebrity crush is Christian Grey from Fifty Shades of Grey.

"He’s a man who knows what he wants," she explained.

Rebecca's party trick is whistling with her bottom lip.

She says her most disastrous dating experience was arriving at the date to find her dress had split all the way up the back.

"I didn’t know! My date told me," she said.

"We got safety pins in the restaurant and pinned it back together!"
