Ellie’s discovered that when dating, it’s a balancing act: she needs to show potential partners she’s interested without seeming overly eager, but she also enjoys the feeling of being pursued.

She said they need to meet her around the middle of the field, but she’s willing to run all the way to the goal if necessary. She wasn’t sure about offsides and figured they’d find out during the game.

What is Ellie’s ‘type on paper’?

For Ellie, her type is quite simple, “tall, dark and handsome”.

She laughed and said, “If it isn’t broken, why mess with it?” Then, looking him up and down, she added, “You’ve got all the right things going for you – good looks, tattoos… and a thing for blondes, I see. You’re really handsome, but… you also seem like the type who could easily break someone’s heart. Please don’t break mine.”

Love Island returns on Monday 1 June at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
