Love Island bombshell Priya Gopaldas has a crush on Boris Johnson

She's not going to find him in the villa!

Author: Alex RossPublished 9th Aug 2021

With all the drama surrounding the current Love Islanders, we'd forgive you for forgetting that two BRAND NEW bombshells will be arriving this week, in the form of medical student Priya Gopaldas and footballer Aaron Simpson.

And whilst the new pair are set to shake things up for the Islanders as the final draws closer, it looks like new girl Priya may struggle to find love if her type is anything to go by.

Before entering the stunning villa, Priya revealed to producers her secret (or should we say not so secret) crush is in fact Prime Minister Boris Johnson!

23-year-old Priya said: "This is a very strange answer but Boris Johnson. I have a soft spot for him. It’s the confidence but he is a total sweetheart on the inside and that’s what I like in a boy. He’s the prime minister, very driven but then on the inside he’s a cuddly bear.

"I also love his blonde hair, that does it for me!"

HOWEVER, unless bosses produce the biggest shock in Love Island history and bring Boris into the villa before the final on Monday 23rd August, it looks like Priya is going to have to settle for one of the boys already in there.

And it sounds like she's going to do just that, immediately taking both Teddy Soares and Matthew MacNabb out on dates.

Speaking about which boys she has her eye on, the London beauty said: "I think Matthew is my type. He’s tall and I like his Irish accent. He seems really intelligent and I think we’ll get on. Also Teddy seems really cheeky and a good laugh and Dale is spicy and attractive!"

On tonight's show (Monday 9th August), following a double dumping, Priya enjoys a date with Teddy, who is fresh out of a romance with Faye Winter following their explosive argument over the weekend.

As the pair sit down for their date, Teddy asks: “Are you nervous?”

Priya says: “No, more excited really!”

Teddy then says: “What is the kind of guy you go for?”

Priya says: “Someone who is athletic and intelligent.”

The question is, will Teddy move on with Priya? Or can he save his romance with Faye, who seems to be feeling guilty about her outburst over the weekend.

Love Island continues every night at 9pm on ITV2.
