MY SECRET SKILL is that I’m quite

a good singer. I’m in the middle of

doing a song

at the moment.

I’m going to

finish it by the

end of the year,

hopefully.

MY MOST

TREASURED

POSSESSION is

my dog. Her name

is Lacey and she’ll

be six in May. She’s

a little cutie.

MY GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT is being

a make-up artist and building up a brand.

Within a year I was fully booked and

working seven days a week. I’ve always

been proud of that.

IF I HADN’T GONE INTO

THE LOVE ISLAND

VILLA I’d still be doing

the same things I’m

doing now. I’ve always

been interested in

music and make-up

and Love Island just

gave me more of a

platform. I was never

interested in being famous. I always

said to my dad [actor Tamer Hassan]

I wanted to do reality because it gives

you a platform, but you can step away

from it and be forgotten about.

I FEEL AT MY MOST VULNERABLE whenever I sing.

Acting and singing are things I’ve always been told

I’m good at, but when people say, “Let me film you

singing,” I’m like, “Nah!” It scares me so much!

THE TOUGHEST CHALLENGE I’VE EVER FACED was

going on Love Island. From a young age I’ve always

had boyfriends, my mum, dad or brother by my side.

If I was getting a train somewhere I’d call someone

and go, “Come with me.” For Love Island I had to get

the plane by myself and you get thrown into this

villa with all these big personalities and you

have to hold your own.

SOCIAL MEDIA IS amazing, but it can

be quite controversial. It can be quite

dangerous and harmful to other people,

but great for talking to friends and family.

TO CHILL OUT my favourite thing is to

watch TV with my dog. Doing my make-up

relaxes me, too.

THE BIGGEST MISCONCEPTION

about me is that I’m quite hard-faced. People

think I’ve got a resting bitch face, but I’m

actually quite a big softie.

I’D TELL MY 16-YEAR-

OLD SELF to stop being

so insecure. I’d tell myself

not to worry about boys

until she’s at least 25.

And when I was younger

I should have taken more

risks, so I’d tell myself

to have more confidence.

IN A CRISIS I’d call my

brother Taser – even though we’re not talking

at the minute. He forgot to buy me a birthday

present, but he’d still come to my rescue.

I LOVE WORKING with the Eyelash Emporium,

because I love their eyelashes. It’s good to

work with a company I believe in. I’m doing

some tutorials showing girls how to put their

lashes on properly on my Instagram page.

At the moment people have got a lot of time

on their hands to practise!

I’D LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED

as a strong woman.
