Andrada said she felt a lot of pressure to make it into the main villa once she had set foot in Casa Amor, but she added: "I love a challenge."
When it came to being asked what life is actually like inside the main villa, the star confessed: "It's awkward.
"It's weird pulling people for chats and you constantly have to be doing it and sometimes it is a lot of dry chat.
"There are a lot of people you want to pull for chats but you have to hold off because other people are getting there first."
'LOVED BY THE PUBLIC'
Andrada was coupled up with Ben in the main villa and gushed: "He was the male version of me, I loved getting to know him.'
But, the ex-islander also had a small fling with Dejon
Williams
, who is renowned for being coupled up with Meg Moore.
Andrada recalled: "With Dejon we had more of a sexual chemistry, but we had Meg on the other side, so I had to think what do I do to bring a different side out of Dejon."
Andrada found herself in a sticky situation after Movie Night revealed to Meg that Dejon had been flirting with Andrada during Casa Amor.
Meg and Andrada ended up having a tumultuous

And with the final just around the corner, Andrada is set on who she wants to see win the £50,000.
She exclaimed: "I'm rooting for Yas and Jamie! Even when I was in there all along there was no drama between them, it was smooth sailing and I really rate them both.
"They are very much loved by the public."
