She's appearing on Love Island 2025 as a bombshell.
Arriving alongside Emma Munro, Rheo Parnell, Yaz Broom, Lucy Quinn and Lauren Wood, Andrada's arrival is set to shake up the villa's volatile dynamics.
And she hasn't been shy about her Casa Amor strategy.
When asked about her game plan, Andreda told ITV: 'My first instinct is to turn heads.
'I am bold and I do want to get what I want, but I also want to find love, so hopefully the person that I do manage to get on with I can build a nice connection with.
'I want to find 'the one.' I'm going to come in with a little bit of spice for sure.'

Andrada's not shy about the prospect of taking someone else's man, saying: 'We're all going in there for ourselves and to find somebody, so it's bound to happen that I break up a couple.
'That's what I have to do and is what I'm going to do.'
She added: 'There are some boys that are being cheeky and doing a madness, but they have to do that and it's nice to see.'
When it comes to villa romance, Andrada primarily has her eye on Tommy.

She explained: 'I have my eye on Tommy and I like that he's very mature in communicating.
'He's also very easy to look at, he's very handsome.
Ever the pragmatist, Andrada also has some backup options: 'My number two is Dejon, he intrigues me, because he's naughty and I have a naughty side.
'I also like Harrison, he's very cute and very good to look at, he's very chatty and a bit bold.'
Andrada also admitted she falls in love quickly, saying: 'I fall quite quickly to be honest, I'm such a lover girl.
"I'm not a slow burner, what you see is what you get.'

ITV The Chase fans call for show to make major change after rival show axed
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The Chase fans have voiced their concerns on social media after the Spanish version of the beloved quiz show faced cancellation earlier this year, raising fears for the UK version. Launched in 2009 with Bradley Walsh at the helm, The Chase has been a popular staple of the mid-evening schedule for over a decade and a half. Following the axing of the Spanish equivalent, El Cazador, which ended its run in April 2025 due to declining viewer numbers, devotees are proposing that the British series could benefit from an overhaul in certain areas. One Reddit user suggested: "The show isn't as fresh as it used to be and could do with them trying out new things to freshen up the formula." However, a die-hard fan countered: "I disagree. The format is good as is. Spain tried changing the format last year and now the show is being cancelled. (Image: ITV) "Australia also changed some things this year which I believe made the show worse and more complicated than it needs to be." The suggestion from viewers to revive interest include a revamp of the final chase round. One commentator argued that the current buzzer system hampers contestants, mentioning: "The guests having to press their buzzers and wait for their name, when the Chaser does not. That's like a solid 10-15 seconds bonus", reports the Express. One fan recently shared their perspective on taking part, commenting: "I fully agree - I still want to go on and give it a go. That's why winning money isn't the satisfying part, it's more about winning against some of the best at [memorising] facts." (Image: Getty) Another viewer suggested a format change to exclude asking teammates for advice on deal offers, saying: "The 'ask your team mates' part is laughably pointless. "For one, it has no influence on what the person is going to choose. Secondly, they all say the exact same thing. 'You could definitely do the higher offer, but stick with the middle and come home.'". Despite these criticisms, the hit quiz show remains a firm favourite among UK audiences. The most recent series, broadcast from January to March, boasted an impressive 3 million viewers, securing a 29.7% share of the audience and ranking as ITV1's third most popular game show of 2024 and leading the pack for shows not in primetime. Over in Australia, The Chase continues its reign, holding firm as Seven Network's top game show every week throughout 2024, marking a successful continuation of a five-year run at number one.

What Chris Hughes & JoJo Siwa are REALLY like behind the scenes – my day with them was eye-opening
Chris was incredibly candid during our hour long chat, as JoJo opened up about their struggles and the criticism they've received from trolls 'MAGICAL FEELING' What Chris Hughes & JoJo Siwa are REALLY like behind the scenes – my day with them was eye-opening IN my 20 years as a journalist I've been asked about Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa more than any other celebrity couple. It feels like everywhere I go people want to know 'Is it fake?' 'Are they legit?' 'What are they like?'... Well, let me tell you. 9 Kelly Allen interviewed Chris Hughes for his first ever Fabulous Magazine cover Credit: Mark Hayman - Fabulous 9 Chris and JoJo are the real deal, says Kelly Credit: Chris Hughes / Instagram 9 The couple met on Celebrity Big Brother in April and fell head over heels for one another Credit: ITV 9 JoJo opened up about the criticism they've received from trolls as a couple Credit: Getty I can say unequivocally that they are 100 per cent the real deal. Two weeks ago I got to see them together in person as we met Chris, 32, for his first ever Fabulous Magazine cover. It's also the first time he's really opened up about his feelings for the 23-year-old Nesbraska born star, who rose to fame as an 11-year-old on Dance Moms and is worth £15million. I've known Chris since 2017 when he came out of Love Island and over the years I've hung out with him at events with various partners including Olivia Atwood, who he met while in the villa as well as Jesy Nelson, when he accompanied her to the National TV Awards in 2020 and I've never seen him this smitten before. Organising photoshoots with celebrities' busy schedules is always a struggle but with Chris we weren't just trying to fit it in around his work which included attending Royal Ascot in his role as racing commentator and Coral Ambassador but also balancing his transatlantic dating schedule. He's frequently hopping on planes now to the States to see his girlfriend. And when JoJo is in the UK, he understandably wants to spend every minute with her - so when I saw online the day before we were due to shoot she had jetted in without telling Chris I was filled with dread that they would call it off [she very sweetly asked the paps who got her arriving off her flight at Heathrow to hold onto the pictures for a couple of hours so to not ruin the surprise.] Thankfully he was way too professional to cancel so there was much excitement in the office when his team asked 'would it be ok for him to bring JoJo along with him?' It's been the most whirlwind couple of months for the pair, who met on Celebrity Big Brother in April. The last time I saw Chris was at Cheltenham Races in March and we talked candidly about him going into the house and what he should expect. I warned him it was very different to the Love Island villa and that he needed to keep his cool as it's designed to be a pressure cooker. Neither of us would have expected that he would go in there and fall for JoJo - who he calls Joelle and she refers to him as 'My sweet Christopher'. JoJo Siwa says she'll NEVER break up with Chris Hughes saying their relationship is 'earthquake proof' He told me: 'Everything that happened on CBB, and everything that has happened since. . . I know it's such a clichéd thing to say, but I would never have believed it in a million years.' And he's not the only one but when I arrived at the studio in East London I witnessed first hand how in love the pair of them are. They were sitting on the floor facing each other with their legs interlocked, holding hands chatting. Both jumped up when they saw me and Chris proudly introduced me to his girlfriend. The first thing that struck me about JoJo is how pretty she is in real life. She was dressed casually in long baggy denim shorts with a £465 Off White black knitted jumper with her hair half up half down. Her skin is absolutely flawless and she beamed her whiter than white smile at me. She had such a warm friendly energy that I was instantly drawn to her. The interview was scheduled at the start of the day and we went to a nearby coffee shop without JoJo jokingly telling her: 'We can't talk about you if you are there.' 9 Chris described meeting JoJo as 'a magical feeling', above Kelly with the star couple 'Magical feeling' Chris was incredibly candid during the hour long chat about falling in love and his hopes for their future together. Describing meeting her as 'a magical feeling', he frequently mentioned destiny and the universe bringing them together. He told me: 'I've never been fixated on the universe but there are so many weird signs that the universe has given me in the last two months. "I genuinely believe that everything that has happened was meant to happen. 'We keep using that word serendipity and that's what this is. Life handed me a blessing in my lap without it ever crossing my mind. "Something truly beautiful while I was focusing on something so unrelated. "I can never hate the universe if it decides to give me a few bad breaks in the future, I'll say 'okay fair enough' because once upon a time, it gave me her. That happiness is enough for my lifetime.' I think of myself as quite a tough journalist - I can count on my hand how many times I've cried during an interview and I had tears in my eyes as he told me how he feared he would never find anyone who would love him and he worried that there was something wrong with him. I couldn't help but smile as he gushed about how happy he was now that they were together. He showed me countless videos of them together - some of them both in tears as they said emotional goodbyes at the airport. I've never been fixated on the universe but there are so many weird signs that the universe has given me in the last two months Chris Hughes I had no doubt that this lad was head over heels. And the feelings from the dancer were clearly mutual. Following the interview JoJo joked at how 'wild' British journalists are adding 'They just ask whatever they want. They will just say 'Are you gonna get married?' I laughed: 'Oh I asked Chris that.' She was intrigued though and wanted to know his answer. She also showed me a picture of a sentimental gift she had bought him - I'll not ruin the surprise by sharing what it was. I've had a difficult time over the past few years - again it's not something I really talk about in a professional environment. But I felt so comfortable with JoJo that I shared what my life away from work had been like. As I got emotional, she hugged me. She spoke to me with such compassion, kindness not to mention maturity that I could understand why Chris (and his entire group of family and friends) have fallen in love with her. 9 American star JoJo has plans to spend more time in the UK Credit: Instagram 9 JoJo rose to fame as an 11-year-old on Dance Moms and is worth £15million Credit: Instagram She was honest too about their struggles and the criticism they've received from trolls about their relationship. I shared with her that while in college in the States I had similarly fallen for one of my friends and how there are some weird hurdles to overcome in the change of dynamic as well as what it's like to have to deal with everyone having an opinion on your love life. We talked about how much she liked being in the UK and her plans to spend more time here. She's obsessed with drinking tea and despite being a multi millionaire happily tucked into a lunch of Pret sandwiches and salads as well snacking on sweets including Love Hearts and Drumsticks. She lamented that she wasn't able to stay long enough to get to go to Wimbledon but revealed that Chris was taking her to the British Summer Time Festival at Hyde Park in London to see Olivia Rodrigo to celebrate their one month anniversary. The shoot had a rugged theme with Chris posing topless and JoJo was a total cheerleader going 'Babe, you look so hot!' as she snapped on her phone pictures and videos behind the scenes. She admitted: 'He will definitely want to look back on these later.' In between each outfit change they cuddled and kissed and it was clear they couldn't keep their hands off each other. We can just lie with each other and be in each other's company. That to us when it feels like there is no one else in the world except us is pure happiness Chris Hughes Later she expressed concern that he was going to actually shave his beard off when he posed with a razor for one of the shots. We also had him hanging off some thick chains covered in oil, in order to get his 'pump' on he dropped to the floor and started doing press ups. It was really impressive. JoJo and I both locked eyes with each other and she quipped proudly: 'That's my boyfriend.' While we got the last of the photographs, JoJo made TikToks in the corner of the studio. One she later posted was captioned: 'lil fit check while I was being a professional girlfriend on set for the day.' And a total professional she was. She posed for photos with the team - even doing a birthday message for the photographer's daughter's birthday before it was time to go. While most celebrities are usually rushing off to an event or red carpet Chris shrugged at the suggestion saying they were just going home. He had told me earlier: "A lot of my happiness comes from sitting on my sofa. I don't go out much. I'm not really a partier. I don't drink. I like watching TV with a cup of TV. "And thank god that's so reciprocated from her side. So we can just lie with each other and be in each other's company. "That to us when it feels like there is no one else in the world except us is pure happiness.' And so it was time to leave with a taxi arriving to whip Chris and JoJo back to his home in Windsor and back to their own version of happiness. 9 The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on set of the Fab Mag shoot, above a picture they posted online Credit: Snapchat

Mindy Kaling snuggles with rumored baby daddy BJ Novak in cozy new snap
Mindy Kaling has sent fans into a frenzy as she snuggled next to her rumored baby daddy BJ Novak in her latest Instagram post shared on Sunday. The actress, 46 - who recently flaunted her slim frame amid Ozempic rumors - uploaded a series of photos as she paid a visit to a restaurant in L.A. with the actor. She also included a picture as she watched The Princess Bride later at home, but social media users were quick to point out that she was seemingly cozied up next to Novak - although she did not show their faces. Kaling was laying next to a person wearing dark navy pants - and her followers noticed that BJ was sporting the same trousers as they stopped by the eatery in another picture she shared. The pair both starred on the hit show The Office and previously dated amidst filming the series. Despite the split, Mindy and BJ have maintained a long-lasting friendship, with some fans speculating he could even be the father of her kids. She is mom to Katherine, seven, Spencer, four, and Anne, one - but has kept the identity of the father private. Novak is notably the godfather to her two eldest children and has been pictured spending time with Mindy and her little ones. Fans jumped to the comment section of her new Instagram carousel over the weekend to share their thoughts over Novak's cameo in some of the snaps. One penned, 'Not me seeing the first slide then going back to the first slide to see what color pants BJ was wearing.' Another wrote, 'Mindy to herself: how can I really support this restaurant... I know, post with BJ, then also post snuggled up with him on the couch! They'll go crazy! Us: OMG MOM AND DAD GO OUT TO DINNER.' 'Mindy you can't keep doing this to us!!!!' a fan added, and one shared, 'Tell me you're together without telling me you're together.' An Instagram user typed, 'When you're 80, will you finally just tell us?' and another commented, 'I ain't never wanted to know somebody business so much.' 'Honestly, I don't ever want her to tell us if she's with BJ. It won't be fun anymore,' another penned. Others also speculated that the image of Mindy seemingly cozying up to Novak was possibly a 'soft launch.' 'One hell of a soft launch,' one said, and another wrote, 'Is this the soft launch of @mindykaling and @bjnovak?' Kaling's post also included a selfie as she glanced down towards the camera while sporting a sleeveless vest and flashy gold jewelry. The actress was joined by Novak as they grabbed a bite to eat at an Ethiopian restaurant called Meals by Genet. The two stars also had the chance to mingle with the owner of the eatery. She gave her followers a look at the menu and then took a picture of a meal that she later indulged in. 'This weekend, @bjnovak and I stopped by my favorite restaurant in LA @mealsbygenet for dinner. Genet is a longtime friend and a truly amazing chef. 'If you're looking for incredible Ethiopian food at one of the late, great Jonathan Gold's favorite restaurants, please consider stopping in - it's tough to own a restaurant in LA right now and she would love the support,' Kaling added. After grabbing a bite to eat, Mindy explained that both she and Novak showed The Princess Bride to her two eldest children. She gave her followers a look at the menu and then took a picture of a meal that she later indulged in She wrote, 'I hate when people say the phrase "it's a perfect movie" but here I am saying it's a perfect movie. Kit was obsessed with Inigo Montoya's vengeance plot (shocking) and Spencer loved the Fire Swamp and the R.O.U.S.s.' Kaling concluded with, 'As a kid I was obsessed with @caryelwes and now I'm kind of a @mandypatinkin gal! Aging! Have a great Sunday everyone ❤️.' Fans have speculated that Novak is not only the rumored father of Mindy's kids, but that the two stars have also sparked up a romance once again. Earlier this year in February, BJ supported Kaling as she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He was seen giving her light kiss on the cheek during the festivities as he gave a speech for the Emmy-nominated star. When The Mindy Project actress addressed the crowd in attendance, she then called Novak an 'integral' part of her family. Back in 2022, Kaling told Entertainment Tonight, 'He's very good with children. He literally wrote a best-selling book called The Book With No Pictures for kids.' The creator of Never Have I Ever added, 'It comes very innately to him, you know, like being with children. So he's a great godfather.' She has also broken silence on rumors that BJ could be the father her children in the past as well. During an interview with Marie Claire, she said: 'It doesn't bother me. He's the godparent to both my kids - and they have such a great relationship.' And in March of this year, the pair were spotted on the red carpet at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars party in Beverly Hills. However the following month, it was reported by People that Novak has a 'new girlfriend' who is 17 years younger than him. The actor was romantically linked to TikTok influencer named Delaney Rowe who is from the state of Idaho. The pair were spotted on a few different occasions together, such as at the Bowery Hotel in New York City late last year in December.
