With the newest season of summer back on our screens in a matter of days (it has a start date of June 5, FYI), ITV bosses have finally of this year’s contestants, all looking for love.
Among them is gal Jess Harding on the hunt for ‘Mr Right’, as she describes him.
The glamorous islander ‘looks pretty and her bikini is cute’ according to some of the comments. ‘Giving Bebe Rexha idk,’ another reckoned.
A few eagle-eyed fans of the reality show pointed out that Jess has a similar look to former islander , with some saying: ‘Olivia thought she could dye her hair blonde and no one would notice.’
‘She’s going to be trouble, I can tell,’ wrote another, alongside a skull emoji.
Here’s everything we know about Jess so far:
Hold old is Jess Harding?
Hailing from London, Jess is 22 years old. Taking part in a Q&A before entering the villa, Jess was asked what’s your elevator pitch for someone who’d want to date you? She answered simply, saying she ‘loves love’ and has personality in (heart-shaped) spades.
‘Firstly I think I’ve got quite a big personality and I’ve got a heart of gold,’ she said. ‘I can stand up for myself if I need to. I’m honest, and I love, love. I’m also a really good girlfriend.’
What is Jess Harding’s job?
The glamour puss knows all about looking good as she currently works as an aesthetics practitioner. It’s not all down to looks though as she says the reason she’s single is that, currently, all boys give her the ‘ick’. She’s hoping Cupid’s arrow will strike in the villa without any icks in sight.
And speaking of the ‘ick’, what makes her ick radar go into overdrive? ‘Lunch boxes’ is an answer we weren’t expecting!
‘When a guy stunts for money, that’s an ick,’ Jess added. ‘Showing off all their designer clothes because most of the time they’re probably fake anyway! Another one is when a boy runs for the train and the train goes without him. Lunch Boxes also – just go to Tesco and get a meal deal!’
Who doesn’t love a good meal deal?
