Kady McDermott is heading back to Love Island for a second attempt at finding The One.
She is one of the most famous bombshells to ever step foot in the Mallorcan villa, having appeared in the second series of the hit ITV2 show, where she soon coupled up with Scott Thomas.
The pair finished third in their series, and moved together to Manchester before splitting a year later in what ended up being a huge shock for fans of the show.
Since then, Kady has had a string of relationships including with TOWIE star Myles Barnett as well as a brief romance with Matty Cash.
She was always known as a "pocket rocket" because of her feisty nature, and some of the most famous moments of the past ten series are down to her.
Kady is hoping this might be the time she finds The One, and has her eyes firmly on one of the Islanders already, and she is worried that another one is playing a game.
Asked who she has set her sights on, she said: "Zach’s my number one, Tyrique on looks, but he might need his ego putting down a little bit. I also want to get to know Mitch. Age is a big thing for me, immaturity in a man for me, it’s just a complete no. I don’t like boys that are too cheeky, I just don’t trust them. Zach seems the most chilled and is nice to look at."
Adding who she thinks might be playing a game, she mused: "Yeah, potentially Mitch but I still want to get to know him. I’m just not sure whether he’s playing a game or not!"
She is taking a different approach to love this time around.
"Not many people can say they’ve been on Love Island, let alone have done it twice! I think I’m known from season 2 for being so chaotic. People always ask, ‘Do you have regrets?’ expecting me to say yes, but I was so true to myself and I was 100% authentic," Kady said.
"I’ll still be like that now, but seven years on, I am more mature. I’m still the fiery pocket rocket but I know what I want and what I don’t want. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still going to be me and the fire I have is in my soul, I’ll never get rid of that and I love that about me, but I’m a lot more emotionally mature now, so I know how to navigate things better. I’ve grown up a lot."
She added: "Last time I got with Scott straight away and I was so ‘tunnel vision’. It’ll be interesting to see what connections I’ll form this time."
