The country has provided several show legends over the years, including gym boss Anton Danyluk and telly star-turned-radio host Laura Anderson.
And hoping to add her name to the Love Island hall of fame is Alima.
Spilling the tea on her grafting game, she boasts: "I'm a good flirt.
"I always ask guys on a night out to guess which country I'm originally from.
"If they get it right, they can get my number.
"But they never guess correctly so it works really well if you don't want to give a guy your number.
"I'm originally from Guinea Bissau. If they're close and I really fancy them, I'll give them my number anyway."
Elsewhere, the Barclays personal banker boasts a modest 3,000 Instagram followers - a number which will no doubt skyrocket after her stint on the show.
On social media, Alima shares images from her holidays around the world, posting updates from Lisbon, Mykonos, Ibiza and Morocco.
And she's no stranger to a sizzling bikini snap, with one follower branding her an "astonishing beauty".

Another stunning pic shows, shows the rising reality star putting on a busty display at Wayne Lineker's Ocean Beach Club in Ibiza.
Alima clearly left a good impression on the notorious party animal, who is now following her on Instagram.
However she brings a lot more to the table than just 10/10 looks.
The stunning Scot has an BA Hons degree in International Business and proudly posted online about her achievement.

Family of Southport attack victim Bebe King say her ‘light and spark' live on a year after her death
The family of Southport attack victim Bebe King has said her "light, care and spark" live on as it approaches a year since her death. The six-year-old was killed along with Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, when Axel Rudakubana launched his knife attack on the Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the town on 29 July last year. On Monday 28 July, a post on the Instagram account of Bebe's Hive referenced the youngster's 'favourite musical' Wicked with the quote: 'Because I knew you, I have been changed for good.' Bebe's Hive was set up by her family to provide support for grieving children through creativity and connection. The post, which appeared to have been written by Bebe's mother Lauren, referred to her as 'my mini me' and 'her dad's soulmate'. It said: 'It's time for us to take the space we need. To feel, to breathe, to hold each other close. To just be. 'To be able to create something so purposeful, so needed, has given us a strength we didn't know we had. A reason. A focus. 'We love and thank every single person who has helped us carry this. 'I feel her with me every day and that feeling is what keeps us going. 'Her light, her care, her spark – it lives on, and we'll continue it for as long as we can. 'To our incredible family and friends – thank you for keeping us afloat, while trying to keep yourselves above water. Thank you for loving Bebe so deeply and for riding this forever journey with us. 'To our amazing community – I don't think you realise what you've done. To everyone further, we also thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 'Your kindness has saved us. 'To Elsie and Alice, we never had the chance to meet you, but we feel like we know you. Your light shines so brightly through your parents, and we're proud to walk alongside them.' In a reference to the Taylor Swift song Bejeweled, the post went on to say: 'Our girls' energy will continue to shimmer. 'And to every brave child, every adult, every family whose lives were changed forever that day – we see you and we're sending you so much love.' A video of Bebe dancing and playing with a bubble machine accompanied the caption, along with photos of her. Sefton Council has asked people not to lay flowers to mark the anniversary of the attack but instead to consider donating to causes including Bebe's Hive, as well as Elsie's Story and Alice's Wonderdance, which were set up in the victim's memories. A three-minute silence will be held in the town at 3pm on Tuesday 29 July.

ITV accused of ‘cutting key Love Island scenes' as viewers ask ‘what are they hiding?'
Fans were sure there was something suspicious happening cut out ITV accused of 'cutting key Love Island scenes' as viewers ask 'what are they hiding?' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans think they're not getting the full picture when it comes to what is happening in the Spanish villa. Eagle-eyed viewers have accused show producers of editing the long running ITV2 dating show to allegedly hide the actions of some of the contestants. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Love Island fans were suspicious of the show's editing Credit: Eroteme 3 They say the women seemed to be over the top when slamming Harry Credit: Eroteme 3 It comes after the Grafties showed Harry pursuing Shakira while still with Helena Credit: Eroteme The accusations came after the notorious Grafties Awards episode aired, as fans clocked how the women in the villa started to realise footballer Harry had been the one pursuing Shakira all along. Harry had long been coupled up with Helena, but they decided to split up on Sunday's episode, and he ended up recoupling up with Shakira, after it was revealed during the Grafties that he still had feelings for her. But now Love Island fans have grown suspicious of what they are being shown, especially when it comes to what the Islander women were saying about Shakira. Some speculated that the women seemed to overcompensate by blaming Harry after the Grafties, because they had bad-mouthed Shakira before the truth was revealed. One fan wrote on Reddit: "The Grafties showed multiple times that it was Harry that was pursuing Shakira while she kept shutting it down (or trying to)... I immediately had a feeling they've [the other women] been putting all the blame on Shakira even more than what we saw. "But my guess is they were even more trash talking Shakira on how she is trying to steal Harry, and it's 'all her doing'.. otherwise there was no reason to say this so strongly so many times. "What do you guys think? I like to try and 'outsmart' the producers by guessing what they edit out." One person replied: "I imagine they all kept thinking Shakira was the one initiating these conversations - when it was all Harry. But agree OP there could have been even more side chats on this for this to fully make sense." Another added: "You're so right! Why else say that if they didn't all blame her or had some misgivings about Shakira. "What people don't understand, sometimes very small things that aren't active bullying can make people feel bad and it's not something you can sum up in a clip like a mean comment... Love Island star Harry kisses Shakira's neck and goes in for a snog in very intimate snuggling moment "These are all really small things you can't really put into a short clip but you actively feel it when it happens to you." After the Grafties, Harry admitted that he still had feelings for Shakira, despite being exclusive with Helena. Then Shakira ended her couple partnership with Conor, saying she had suppressed her feelings towards Harry. Harry and Helena ended up going their separate ways in emotional scenes. Helena was then picked by Blu to recouple with after the bombshell was brought back in to the villa in a surprise move. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
