Love Island’s Jess White is set to drive the men in the villa wild… all thanks to her mum.
The 25-year-old reveals how she was marched to the shops to get some seductive lingerie to boost her chances of finding love in the villa.
Jess says: “My mum said I needed to get some sexy underwear as mine wasn’t great, so we went shopping. It was wild. Who does that with their mum?! She was saying, ‘That’s a showstopper, that’s the one. That’s a Hideaway outfit’.”
The notorious Hideaway – a private room where coupled-up Islanders can get intimate away from prying eyes – will be back, and promises some of the hottest moments in the series.
So will we see Jess make the most of the saucy bolthole? She admits: “Mum warned me not to do anything naughty in there. To drive the men wild – but make them wait.”
Well, Mum knows best… Jess is one of 12 stunning singles set to enter the Mallorca villa tomorrow in a bid to find love – with Maya Jama back once more as host.
And confident M&S manager Jess, from Stockport, Cheshire, can’t wait to slip into her skimpy bikinis. She reveals: “I’ve had a boob job so they’re very good! It was the only insecurity I had. It improved my confidence by miles.”
Jess is looking for a strong man who won’t give her an easy life, saying her previous boyfriend was too much of a pushover.
“I’d find it sexy someone putting me in my place,” she admits. “I’m an only child so I like things my way. I need somebody to be like, ‘No, you’re not doing that’, or, ‘Right, we’re doing this’.”
And she promises to be a memorable Islander in her quest to find Mr Right – even being prepared to lose friendships in her pursuit. Jess says: “I’ll be straight-talking. Sometimes people won’t like that. It could get me in trouble if I’m getting involved in someone else’s drama.
“I don’t have any loyalty to them. You’re there for you, at the end of the day, and you’ll never get the opportunity again. Sometimes, that might upset the girls. If they [the lads] are really fit, it’ll be hard to say no.”
So what worries Jess the most about appearing on the show? “The heart rate and the talent challenge,” she says. “I’m talentless and my friends will tell you I’m so stiff when dancing. My friends said they’re going to cringe when they see that on TV. I mean, I’ll have a laugh with it. But I’ll tell you now – it won’t be sexy. I’ll probably fall over. It’s going to be quite tragic.”
It’ll be a tragedy if Jess doesn’t make it that far.
