She said she’d like the other Islanders to know that she’s “wifey material”.
When asked if she has a claim to fame, Ella said: “I’ve been in a Headie One and Burna Burna Boy music video and I was once an extra in World War Z. I was 12 years old when I filmed it and got to meet Brad Pitt which was cool.”

Tyrique will “bring vibes, confidence, good energy and honesty” to the Villa, he says.
He said he isn’t someone who sits on the fence and viewers can expect him to speak up if he has an opinion to share.
When asked if he has a claim to fame, Tyrique said: “Toby Aromolaran is one of my best friends, we grew up together and were in the same class at school.”
Toby is a former Love Island contestant.

Occupation: Musical Theatre Performer and Social Media Creator
Molly lives on a farm with her family and said her appearance on Love Island is “ideal timing”.
When asked if she has a claim to fame, Molly said: “With my job being in social media, I’ve had some amazing opportunities to go on press trips and I’ve actually been out to the Love Island Villas in Mallorca and South Africa.
"Having the experience to walk around both was amazing but to now actually live in the Villa is going to be incredible.”
Love Island starts at 9pm Monday 5th June on ITV2 and ITVX.
