New Love Island bombshell Francesca Allen has celebrity crush on Irish actor Pierce Brosnan

New Love Island bombshell Francesca Allen has a celebrity crush on Irish actor Pierce Brosnan.

The 23-year-old will arrive in the villa on Tuesday's show alongside fellow newbie Chris Taylor.

When asked who is her celeb crush, she said: "Pierce Brosnan but when he’s James Bond. I want a James Bond."

The 66-year-old, who grew up in Navan, Co Meath, played the role of 007 between 1994 and 2005.

Clothing store manager Francesca believes she'll get on with all of the girls.

But the Essex woman singled out Longford contestant Maura Higgins, calling her "hilarious".

Francesca said: "I feel like I will get on with all of them. Maura is hilarious. I find her so funny. Anna seems really nice.

"And Molly-Mae is into her clothes, so I think we will get along in that sense. She’s a girls’ girl."

However, Francesca and Maura could clash as the new islander has her eye on Curtis Pritchard.

She'll also be hoping to crack on with fan favourite Anton Danyluk, who is coupled up with Belle Hassan.

She said: "I do think it’s mainly Anton (that I have my eye on) – I’ve liked him from the beginning.

"He seems like a really nice person. He seems like my kind of humour. He doesn’t take himself too seriously.

"He is good looking. I think we compliment each other well. Curtis is the other one. Love his snake hips."

The singleton, who has been on the market for 10 months, has vowed to honour the "girl code".

She said: "I always think you should speak to people if you have the opportunity to. Kindness costs nothing.

"It’s hard though because if you feel like you like someone and they are your potential future, how can you stop yourself pursuing them, it they’re with a girl you don’t really know and have no loyalty to?"

Francesca also claims to be friendly with members of the The Only Way Is Essex cast and last year's contestant Jack Fowler.

"I know quite a lot of the TOWIE cast – Georgia Kousoulou, Chloe Ross, Chloe Lewis – they all come to the shop. My sister’s boyfriend is Sam Faiers’ boyfriend’s brother, so we know each other.

"Jack Fowler was my personal trainer for a while, he’s really nice."
