IN the highly anticipated Love Island Casa Amor twist, a Yarm sales professional is one of 12 new Islanders stirring things up this season.

Among the six new female Islanders who have settled into the second Cape Town villa, located only a short distance away from the main villa, is self-confessed tomboy Jade Affleck, who has a passion for showjumping and horse riding.

She'll be joining the original men, Darlington footballer Luke Trotman, Callum Jones, Finley Tapp, Mike Boateng, Nas Majeed and Luke Mabbott, whilst the six new male contestants take their places in the original abode.

Describing herself, the 25-year-old said: "I’m fun, feisty and ready to meet someone perfect to take home to my mum and dad. My family’s seal of approval is very important to me."

The newcomer also admitted already having her eye on Redcar's own Luke M along with Finley and Callum - and said the men already coupled up is just a "minor setback", insisting she will "do anything it takes" to get her man.

Luckily for the new girl, reality TV stars are seemingly already her type, when she confessed that former Love Island contestant Jack Fincham was a "big celebrity crush" of hers. "There's something about him that I really like," she said.

Celebrities aside, Affleck described her ideal man as "funny, have nice teeth and has to make me laugh. That’s all I ask for."

Rating her looks for 1 to 10, the Islander said she thought she was a 8, with her best feature being her bum.

Love Island continues on ITV2 at 9pm.
