Ellie made a living for herself outside of the villa as a real estate videographer, showcasing her creative skills.
Inside the luxury pad though, she’s turning her attention to the boys.
“I want love and I’m not going to not fight for it,” she said ahead of her entrance, hoping this year’s single guys will make the effort to charm her.
She explained: “They’ve got to come up and meet me at the halfway line. But I will go to the goal if I need to. Offside? Who knows? I guess we’ll see.”
As for who she wants chasing her, Ellie’s type is “tall, dark and handsome” – like pretty much everyone else’s on the show.
“If it’s not broken, don’t fix it,” she joked. “It’s a classic for a reason. Nice teeth, nice tattoos, partial to a blonde as well. Pretty face.
“Looks like you’re going to break my heart but like, please don’t.”
She’s also been open about her strategy once inside, telling producers she’ll tackle each challenge: “Just how I always do, with ease, with confidence.”
Ellie added: “There’s nothing else I can do than be me. 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.”
Ellie is close with 2020 Love Island winner Paige Turley, who won the show with now ex Finn Tapp.
