ITV Love Island Casa Amor bombshell was in EastEnders with her DJ dad

The new batch of Love Island bombshells are set to shake up the famous TV villa tonight (Sunday June 3). Six glamorous ladies will sashay their way into the main villa to get to know the boys after their partners were packed off to the neighbouring Casa Amor.

While the girls get to know six new boys, they will get acquainted with Cheyanne Kerr, Chyna Mills, Coco Lodge, Jazmine Nichol, Mollie Salmon and Summer Botwe on the ITV2 dating contest. And Summer, 22, from Hertfordshire, has been on TV before.

The events decor business co-owner appeared in the BBC soap EastEnders with her dad who is a garage DJ. She revealed before entering the villa: "My dad is a garage MC and DJ - MC CKP. And I was an extra in EastEnders once when I was younger - I was in a scene with my dad and Stacey, played by Lacey Turner."

Summer is hoping to catch the eye of one Islander in particular - Dami Hope who is coupled up with Indiyah Polack. "Dami is someone that I definitely feel like I have my eye on and definitely want to pursue the most out of all the boys," she said.

"His dress sense is really good, he’s funny, he’s just like an all rounder completely. Everyone loves him and he’s like their go-to and I love that about a person. His vibes are immaculate and I’m drawn to that. Jay is quite good looking, too. I will talk to other people, too. "

Asked what she thinks she will bring to the villa she said: " I think that I’m just genuinely good vibes - very goofy, very silly, I’ll definitely uplift everyone’s spirits. Everyone will be fun around me. I don’t really take things too seriously.

"I feel like I might end up bringing some drama because I do want to go full force with Dami… but I’m definitely just bringing fun and good vibes for sure."

Asked why she's single at the moment she explained: "I just end up being that ‘other person’ in a situation and I’ll be talking to somebody and they’ll find somebody else and I’m the other person they string along for a bit and I get ghosted. I have been enjoying life being single but it’s been four years - I want a boyfriend now."

Summer says her family and friends would describe her as: "No filter, goofy silly. I love love. I’d love to be in love with somebody. They’d definitely say that about me. I’m good to be around, positive and I’ve got a diva attitude so that comes up as well."

She added: "I just like to have my way all the time. It’s my way or the highway, even the littlest thing." Asked how she feels about treading on toes she said: "We’re all there for the same reason at the end of the day - I’m going to go full steam ahead.

"I’ve been competitive my whole life. I’m putting my best foot forward and I’m not wasting any time getting to know people."

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox
