NEW Love Island star Lucinda Strafford says she is ready to “have some fun” when she enters the villa tonight.

The ITV2 reality show returned to our screens last week and has been keeping fans on the edge of their seats.

And now Lucinda, the former girlfriend of Albion footballer Aaron Connolly, is set to enter the Mallorcan villa as one of its new “bombshell” arrivals.

The 21-year-old from Brighton, who was in a relationship with the footballer for two years, says she applied for the reality show because she is ready to find love.

She said: “I’m a relationship kind of girl. The timing is right and I want to have some fun.”

Lucinda says she has her eye on fellow contestants Brad McClelland, a labourer from Northumberland, and Welsh hunk Liam Reardon.

“I really fancy Brad. And then possibly Liam”, Lucinda said.

“But obviously I’m open to getting to know any of the other boys.”

But Lucinda, who owns an online fashion boutique, says she is also hoping to make friends in the villa and picked out student Liberty Poole, social media influencer Kaz Kamwi and estate agent Faye Winter as potential mates.

She said: “Liberty’s a similar age to me, so I think I’ll probably get along with her, she seems funny. I like Kaz, she seems really bubbly.

“I can tell Faye can stand up for herself, but I also quite like that about her. So I don’t feel like we’ll rub against each other.

“There’s none that I think that I won’t get along with just yet. But I’ll need to be with them 24/7 to know if I will get along with them or not.”

Lucinda will enter the villa in tonight’s episode alongside fellow new arrival, Essex girl Millie Court.

Love Island continues on ITV2 and the ITV Hub.
