Love Island's Andrada Pop: 'I'm Going To Break Up A Couple'
While it's unclear whether Andrada will bag a permanent spot in the main Love Island villa, she has certainly made in a big impression in a short space of time. Here's everything you need to know about her.
Andrada Pop is a model and influencer from Dublin, Ireland, who also works as a nail technician and personal trainer. Naturally, as a Love Islander, she was also 2019's winner of Miss Bikini Ireland.
She entered the Love Island villa with Emma Munro (who is Harry Cooksley's ex-girlfriend), Rheo Parnell, Yaz Broom, Lucy Quinn and Lauren Wood.
'My first instinct is to turn heads,' she said before entering the Casa Amor villa. '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 made it clear that she wasn't afraid of stepping on toes before she entered the villa and she's stuck to her word. '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.'
Before joining the show she continued, 'There are some boys that are being cheeky and doing a madness, but they have to do that and it's nice to see.'
Despite saying her type was Tommy before she entered Casa Amor, Andrada has spent most of her time talking to Ben and Dejon. If things continue to heat up between her and Dejon, it will likely lead to an explosive reunion episode with Megan back in the main villa.
Yes! Of course she does. You can follow her on Instagram at @andradapop. Just like her contemporaries, Andrada shares regular bikini pictures and holiday snaps on her feed.

Controversial Married At First Sight Australia star shares worrying hospital photo from his bed
It came after his conduct was called out by reality show fans medical woe Controversial Married At First Sight Australia star shares worrying hospital photo from his bed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A DIVISIVE Married At First Sight groom has shared a worrying photograph from his hospital bed. The E4 star, who appeared on the Australian version of the matchmaking series, was seen lying back with a drip attached to his left arm. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 A MAFS Aus star has shared a worrying snap from hospital Credit: Instagram / harrison_boon_ 6 Harrison Boon proved a controversial character on the E4 series Credit: Nine 6 MAFS Australia Harrison Boon Credit: instagram Harrison Boon struck a serious expression in his selfie, which saw him clad in a white medical gown. Yet the controversial MAFS alum - who faced allegations of bullying and was at the centre of a series of spats during his time on the show - attempted to make light of his mystery condition in the caption. He wrote: "Turns out there's no cure for narcissicsm. "Sorry guys." His medical condition is currently unclear. The worrying news comes just months after Harrison announced his engagement to girlfriend Gina Ha, who he has been dating for just over a year. MAFS CHAOS It was an unhappier time for Harrison on the reality TV series. He was swiftly hailed a show villain for allegedly gaslighting his wife. Harrison first caused a stir when he upset bride Bronte on their wedding day. One of her bridesmaids told her that Harrison had been dating a girl in the lead up to the wedding, and wanted to be with her when he finished the show. MAFS Australia star reveals she's back with her ex While Bronte gave him the benefit of the doubt, she later slept with him on honeymoon, only for him to remark that there was "no chemistry" between them. Later in the series, Harrison was accused of 'bullying' for the way he spoke about the other couples during the commitment ceremonies. When Evelyn challenged him, they exchanged a war of words, prompting Melinda to jump in with: "You're just a rude guy! It's bullying. It's attacking everyone here.' Mafs couples that have stood the test of time Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby. The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home. Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau. Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December. Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.' Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019. Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work. "While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in. 'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?' 'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.' Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson. Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong. They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod. Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship." But Harrison was having none of it, firing back: "'It's not bullying. Don't play the sex card, grow up!". Needless to say, he and Bronte didn't go the distance and split before final vows. 'Harrison, we're done, we're over and I honestly never want to see you again," Bronte shouted at him when they split during the final dinner party. After the series aired, Harrison hit out amid the fan backlash. He said: "The network hid 90 per cent of Bronte's behaviour, so imagine how bad she must have been what they didn't show, in order for her to look equally as bad as me, when I'm just reacting to it." 6 It came just months after he revealed his engagement Credit: Instagram / harrison_boon_ 6 He popped the question to Gina Ha in October Credit: Instagram / harrison_boon_

Emma Bray dies after vowing to starve herself to death 'to protect her children'
Dignity in Dying campaigner Emma Bray, who revealed she intended to starve herself to death to protect her children from witnessing her 'terrible death', has left a final heartbreaking message A mum with MND has died after she made the heartbreaking decision to starve herself to death to spare her children. Emma Bray bravely told the Mirror of her plans to move into a hospice this summer and voluntarily stop eating and drinking. Last month Emma, 42, told us how she was devastated she was unable to hug her two children or wipe away their tears - but although it was too late for her, she wanted to fight for a law change to help others. On Monday the proud and devoted mum posted a touching final message on her 'Stupid_mnd' Instagram account under a photograph of her lying in a hospice bed in Devon. Looking out over the trees, she wrote: 'If you are reading this then I've finished my final spin round the sun. 'I've lived a very good life, surrounded by love, music and laughter and I want this to continue in my memory. Rather than shed a tear (or whilst you do) please plant a tree or call a friend, do a random act of kindness or take time to watch a sunset. For moments of doubt please ask 'what would Emma do?' and run with that probably inappropriate answer. Hug everyone a little tighter and love openly. 'Please surround those who were closest to me with love, time and patience. And to quote Frank Turner - Remember you get to dance another day but now you have to dance for one more of us. Love you, bye.' Days before this post Emma revealed she and her friends had gone to see Alanis Morissette in concert, which she described as being on her 'bucket list'. She wrote: 'After 29 years of true love I wasn't going to let a little inconvenient terminal illness let me miss this.' Earlier this year, at the end of May, the former charity worker, who has helped hundreds of domestic abuse victims and the homeless during her career, told us how she wanted to shield her 'amazing' children, aged 15 and 14, from the 'brutal' and "terrible" death she faced. 'I've had four different health professionals tell me I've got the worst disease possible,' she told the Mirror. MND is a terminal neurological condition that affects the brain and spinal cord leading to muscle weakness and wasting. Emma told us she wanted to spare her children the horror of seeing their mum suddenly choke to death. Instead she wanted a 'calm and peaceful death' and had planned her funeral and written her eulogy. 'My last bit of parenting I can do is to limit the suffering and trauma they have to witness. I made a promise to myself that I wanted to wait to see my daughter finish high school and my son grow up a little so I can picture the man he will become.' She told of her plan to voluntarily stop eating and drinking when she moves to a hospice. Emma had decided to die using the Voluntarily stopping eating and drinking (VSED) practice. According to Compassion in Dying this is where an adult 'with mental capacity to decide to do so and in the absence of control or coercion', makes a decision to hasten their death by completely stopping all food and fluids. They say dying from VSED can typically take between 10 to 14 days. Emma, from Barnstaple in North Devon, had endured extra pain during her trips to London to back the Assisted Dying Bill. She said she wanted other families to avoid the horrifying decisions she had to make between two 'painful and potentially horrific' ways to die. She said: 'This bill will have offered me protection for those I love who have already spent two years living with anticipatory grief and watching me suffer. 'Imagine seeing your children crying and upset and not be able to hug them or curl up in bed and wipe their tears away. This is hands down the thing I hate the most about motor neurone disease. It's taken my children's mum from them little by little… 'I urge MPs to realise that this bill will not end my life, motor neurone disease is doing that but they can help me and others with less than six months to live to die with peace. ' Talking to the Mirror using her eye gazing machine, she told us: 'I now feel I am at the stage where my quality of life is very affected, I can no longer use any of my limbs. My talking is severely affected and I struggle to eat and it's getting harder to breathe. I am only really comfortable in bed and social visits are exhausting. 'I have carers multiple times a day, can't be left alone overnight and can no longer do any basic tasks. I can't scratch an itch, push up my glasses, move a bed sheet if I am too hot or cold. I feel like I am losing the essence of me, I am still so loved but I can't be myself and I see that grief on everyone's faces. 'This whole journey has been brutal but I have still been able to be a parent and I now realise I can't be a bit of the parent I need and want to be. Watching your children grieve you and not be able to hug them is the most painful feeling ever. This disease takes from everyone and it will take the children's mother from them bit by bit.' Emma told us: 'VSED is not an easy death but with the current law in England this is the only way I can have control over my death. 'I want to protect my children from seeing me choke and struggle to breathe. I don't want to die but I am going to and have come to terms with my impending death and I know I want to die surrounded by loved ones, music and laughter not in an emergency way after further decline.' '...My end of life wish is to be at the hospice surrounded by my friends and family. I want to have music playing, to hear people laugh and watch them playing card games over me.' Emma paid tribute to her children, saying: 'My children are amazing and have spent so much of their childhood witnessing me decline. 'They watched me crawl around the floor for a year before diagnosis, they help me with everything as I have no working limbs, they live in an environment where there is a constant flow of carers coming into our home. 'They are obviously struggling. They struggle watching me fade, they are already grieving for the mum I once was. How they are still attending school and laughing astounds me and is a credit to what amazing people they are. 'They have a village of people around them but I know they desperately miss me. They are living in limbo land, they know they will have to move house to live with their dad but they don't know when and that uncertainty is hard for them. 'I can see their pain and grief on a daily basis and I would do anything to take that away from them. They are desperate for a hug from me and that hasn't happened in years… 'There is never a good time to lose your mum but all my maternal instincts want to make that horrible reality as easy for them as I can. 'I urge MPs to realise that this bill will not end my life, motor neurone disease is doing that but they can help me and others with less than six months to live to die with peace. '
