Anna-May on signing up for Love Island

Welsh contestant Anna-May Robey opened up about the months leading up to her jetting of to South Africa in a bid to find love.

She opened up on how her parents weren’t thrilled with the decision at first as they feared that it won’t be the right move for her, however, then they got on board and were very supportive.

She told WalesOnline: “I kind of went in not expecting anything when I came out. They cut the social media as well this year, so the social media following is a lot less than what it would have been if I’d have been on the summer series.

“The process started for me at the end of November and then I flew out in January so it was really, really quick. To be honest with you, I didn’t really want to tell anyone about it.

“At the beginning, my parents were a bit like, ‘Oh God, I don’t know if this is the right thing for you to do,’ but when I started getting to the next stage, and the next stage, and the processes started getting really exciting, they became more excited than I was!”

Claudia Fogarty reveals dad’s strict rules for Love Island appearance and why he ‘struggled’ to watch

Love Island star Claudia Fogarty has revealed that her famous dad, Carl Fogarty, had strict rules before she went on the show.

In an interview with the Mailonline, Claudia said: “My dad told me not to sleep with anyone on TV and that was the one thing he said.

“As long as I didn’t embarrass myself or do anything like that, where they could see me being intimate, then he wasn’t against me doing it.”

Claudia also talked about how her dad ‘struggled’ watching her breaking down in tears over  Casey O’Gorman.

Claudia explained: “He struggled with me being in the villa to be honest and my mum told me that he really missed me, and he struggled more than he thought he would.

“When he saw me crying and getting upset that really affected him. My dad isn’t really an emotional person, and he doesn’t open up a lot but me crying… he struggled to watch it.”

She told the Mailonline: “Some nights he said he couldn’t watch it at all because it was upsetting him seeing me go through everything I did so when I came home it was so lovely to see him.”
