‘I used to think I wasn’t pretty enough but now I love my curves and my 32E boobs’ says Love Island’s Liberty Poole
LOVE Island All Stars favourite Liberty Poole has opened up about learning to love her 'curves' and 32E boobs after a confidence crisis.
Liberty, 24, has bravely revealed she struggled with not feeling 'pretty enough' when she was last in the villa.
Speaking to The Sun and other press ahead of heading into All Stars on Monday, she said: "When I was on the season in 2021, I did have some insecurities from past relationships and not really ever feeling pretty enough or good enough."
Liberty - who will be reunited with ex Jake Cornish on All Stars - added that leaving the villa and becoming an influencer only added to her anxiety around her self-image.
"I was also a waitress before Love Island, and I went from doing that to being a social media influencer after the show. It took me a while to get settled into that as Instagram is so picture perfect.
"That's why I kind of try and show body positivity on my Instagram, because I want not just young girls, but guys as well, to know like it's normal to look certain ways, and be open and honest about that. "

Getting older has also helped her with feeling more comfortable in her own skin.
She explained: "It' was three years ago now since I first I went in Love Island, and I'm definitely more confident in who I am as a person.
"I still lead with my personality, because I think it's your personality that makes you who you are, looks fade at the end of the day. But I love my curves. I love my 32E boobs. They are annoying to get in tops sometimes but I love them."
That said, she admits she may consider reducing them one day.
"I might feel different in the future, like after having kids, I may want a breast reduction, but now, I'm quite happy. I think they are part of who I am at this point in my life."
After Love Island in 2021, Liberty took part in Dancing On Ice and despite only making it four weeks into the competition, claims the skating contest also boosted her confidence.
Liberty revealed: "That was such a fun experience and that really pushed me out of my comfort zone. Like I was dressed up as a zebra on national TV. I don't know anyone else who could say they've dressed up as a zebra on national TV!"
As for future reality shows after this All Stars stint, she has her sight set Down Under.
"My dream would probably be, if I'm being totally honest, I’m A Celebrity. I'm so bad with insects and creepy crawlies, but I think that it would be fun to push myself outside my comfort zone.
"Hopefully I'm done with dating shows anyway after All Stars, anyway, as I'd love to come out with my future husband!"
