Love Island bombshell Tink Reading is one of six girls heading to Casa Amor for the 2023 series. The project manager has joined the villa alongside Amber Wise, who is the daughter of footballer Dennis Wise, Danielle Mazhindu, Gabby Jeffery, Abi Moores, and Molly Marsh, who is returning to the show after she was made single and dumped.
On why she has joined the summer series, Tink said: "I'm excited to hopefully meet somebody and cause a bit of mischief. I want to make new memories and have lots of fun. "
Tink, who describes herself as being "mischievous, energetic, and full of energy," is interested in coupling up with either Mitchel Taylor or Welsh footballer Scott Van Der Sluis. On her three most important qualities in a partner, Tink said: "They have to be family orientated, have strong career goals and manners are a really big thing for me. Manners cost nothing, so I want to see how they interact with other people."
But who is Tink, how old is she and what does she do for a living? Here's everything you need to know.
Who is Tink Reading?
Tink is a project manager from Birmingham. She said of herself: "I don’t take myself too seriously, as I just like to have fun. I can look cute and innocent but I do have a fiery side - if I have a problem I have no issue in saying it."
Asked about how she plans on turning heads, Tink said: "To be honest, I am not going to waste any time or sit on the fence. I’m not going to gauge what the other girls are thinking. I will know who I am interested in and know certain boys won’t be my type. I won’t go for them just because it’s Casa Amor - I will stay true to myself.
"I do back myself; I am funny and a bit of a lad - I like sports, football and F1. Don’t get me wrong, I love getting dressed up and looking great but I am a lad at the same time. There are not many girls like me, so I think that will be a shock for them. "
How old is Tink Reading?
Tink is 26 years old.
Is Tink Reading on Instagram?
Yes, you can find Tink on Instagram here, where she already has over 4,000 followers. However, her profile will remain dormant while she is in the villa. Usually, family members and friends take over the contestants' accounts while they are on the show, but the broadcaster has confirmed that nothing will be published on the Islanders' behalf this year.
The change was implemented for the winter series part of Love Island's duty of care measures and aims to protect both the islanders and their families from the adverse effects of social media.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX .For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
