They're gonna be stunning." READ MORE ON LOVE ISLAND The influencer revealed the real reason why she turned down the opportunity to appear on Love Island in previous years. She shared: "Body confidence for me has been something I've worked on. "This is a show, which is why I had to make this a big choice of mine, in terms of thinking about all these things: am I ready? Am I in a part of my life where I'm confident? That's why previously, when I've been approached to do the show, I said no, because I wasn't ready."
