Who is Love Island's Angel? A reminder of her age, background and more as she gets closer to Harry
Love Island delivered another twist this week with a late addition bombshell: Angel Swift.
Debuting on Friday 18 July, Angel made her first appearance during a rodeo-themed party (making us feel for the Love Islanders who couldn't get Cowboy Carter tickets bc they were already in Mallorca, tbh).
Anyway, quickly after arriving, the 26-year-old caught Harry's eye, and there was some *very flirtatious* chat involving heavy eye contact and talk of spooning. Keep in mind that Harry is currently coupled up with Helena, and has been chatting to his ex Emma saying he'll "always" love On the other hand, she has said she has her eye on Ty, who is coupled up with Lauren.
As all that drama unfolds, here's your cheat sheet on who Angel is: from her age to her occupation and whether she knows anyone already in the villa.
Job: Aesthetics Practitioner and Salon Owner
From: Maidstone, Kent
Angel owns a salon called AngelFace, which offers a bunch of different services including waxing, hair extensions, microneedling and dermaplaning.
Age: 26
Angel is 26 years old, celebrating her birthday on 1 February with a cheeky post that said "Happy National Angel Day 🎂".
She is an Aquarius and according to Cosmo's Horoscope writer, they're "Not one for 'going with the flow', Aquarians make their own mind up and then stick to it. You can not cajole or persuade them from their viewpoint, unless you've got *evidence* i.e. data, facts, peer-reviewed analysis."
Ahead of entering the villa, Angel has spoken about her position as a bombshell entering into the show while many of the Islanders are already coupled up.
"Breaking up another couple? That is what's going to happen, so it's quite exciting really," she said.
"I feel like people have been getting their heads turned very easily. I do feel like I have quite a good chance of turning someone's head."
After being single for a year, she has said she's ready to find something serious.
"It's an amazing opportunity to make new connections and have new experiences. I'm ready to make memories with someone, go travelling with them and fall in love," she said.
You betcha!
Angel has a hefty 124,000 IG followers and over 6000 TikTok followers.
Her IG followers include Love Island alum, with former contestants Liberty Poole and Harriet Blackmore all commenting on Angel's announcement post.
New episodes of Love Island air on weekdays and Sundays at 9pm on ITV2.
