Rebecca Gormley rocks Love Island villa

The ‘Love Island’ villa is set to be rocked by the arrival of a new contestant.
At the end of Sunday night’s (19.01.20) episode, it was revealed that newbie Rebecca Gormley, a 21-year-old part-time model and carer from Newcastle, would be making her entrance into the South African love nest.
Asked which boys in the villa have caught her eye, she said: "Connagh Howard, Callum Jones and Mike Boateng … I need to chat to them. I haven’t seen enough of them to know how I’m going to approach it. I like funny guys, so I’m thinking making the guy laugh is a tick in the box. But no smooth moves, I’ll just be myself."
And Rebecca wants an easy going guy to match her "outgoing" personality.
Asked what kind of guy she’s looking for, she added: "I’m fun, I’m loud, I’m outgoing, I’m fearless and spontaneous! I like a ‘Jack the lad’. He’s got to be the centre of attention easy to get along with, and someone who gets involved with the chat."
Meanwhile, elsewhere on the show, Jess Gale admitted she felt "blessed" to have the others in the villa after her twin sister Eve Gale was booted off the other night.
Following the exit, Nas told her: "We’re all here for you if you ever need to talk."
Whilst Jess admitted in the villa’s Beach Hut: "I’m so blessed that all the girls are really nice, all the guys are really nice, it’s just not going to be the same. I’ll sleep on it, wake up, it’s a fresh day, got you girls."
And Sophie Piper was forced to defend Connagh after he chose to couple up with her and steal her away from original partner Connor.
Speaking in the Beach Hut, he said: "He should have gone about things a different way. He should have coupled up with Siânnise, got to know her, he could have still gotten to know Sophie if he wanted to. It’s hard not to be awkward now. It’s going to be a bit hard, but he’s brought that on himself."
And when Mike gave Connagh his opinion, Sophie insisted: "You can’t even say that to him … he’s gone with his gut at the end of the day. I feel like you boys shouldn’t be beating him up about it."
‘Love Island’ continues on Monday night (20.01.20).
