Who is Angelista?
Angelista is a nurse from Staffordshire whose main goal is to find love while in the villa.
I really try to avoid conflict and don’t like being part of arguments,” she explained. “I’m happy to observe what happens, but I prefer to stay out of it completely!
Angelista confidently claims her flirting is just right – not over the top, but a pleasant balance, as she told ITV.
Okay, so Angelista’s strategy going into the villa is pretty straightforward: she wants to make it clear she’s interested in the guys, but she’s definitely not going to chase after them. She’s aiming for visibility, not desperation, and I appreciate that. It’s a confident approach – she wants them to notice her, not feel like she’s pleading for attention. It’ll be interesting to see if it works!
“I’ll be in the mix, 100 per cent,” she explained. “I’m not watching in the back.”
How old is Angelista?
Angelista is 24 years old.

What is Angelista’s ‘type on paper’?
Like some of her fellow Islanders, Angelista is looking for someone “tall, dark and handsome”.
Okay, so Angelista basically described my ideal guy! She said she’s looking for someone who’s quietly confident and has a great smile, which is a good start, right? But it’s more than that – she wants a guy who really listens, but also follows through with action. No empty promises! She emphasized that it’s about being patient and actually doing things, not just talking about them. Basically, a genuinely kind and reliable guy.
Love Island returns on Monday 1 June at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
