Bringing the heat to Mallorca is Ellie Chadwick, one of the twelve OG islanders heading into the Love Island villa in search of romance.

Confidence isn't an issue for Ellie - she's ready to fight for the man of her dreams. Before the villa, she declared: "People love me and if they don’t then they’re clearly not okay. Listen, we’re all there for one reason, but I’m going to get my win."

With this level of confidence, Ellie's villa strategy is making her feelings known and meet a guy halfway, though she isn’t against enjoying the thrill of the chase.

What is Love Island's Ellie looking for on Love Island?

Talking about the traits she's looking for in a partner, Ellie said: "Simple… tall, dark and handsome. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. It’s a classic for a reason. Nice teeth, nice tattoos, partial to a blonde as well. Pretty face. Look like you’re going to break my heart but like, please don’t."

Although Ellie likes a guy oozes confident, it becomes an instant turn off the minute they cross the line into cockiness - so boys be warned.
