Priya Gopaldas was one of the most recent bombshells to arrive in the Love Island villa, but she has swiftly been booted off the show.

The 23-year-old medical student from London joined the show because she wanted a “challenge”.

She said: “I’m single and I’m looking for love and I thought this would be a great opportunity for me to take me out of my comfort zone.

“I’m nearing the end of medical school so I’ve got my career on track, but now I just need a man!”

She said her family and friends would describe her as “overconfident”, adding: “I want someone who is confident in themselves and is able to take themselves out of their comfort zone and do something new every day.”

She previously had her eye on Matthew, but ended up sending him home after deciding to couple up with fellow newcomer Brett, instead.

During Monday night’s episode (16 August), Priya and Brett were confirmed to be the couple with the fewest votes, and they were told to leave the show immediately.

Love Island airs at 9pm each night on ITV2.
