Meet the cast: Samantha Kenny
Samantha Kenny is a 26-year-old makeup artist from Liverpool who is ready to 'settle down' and find love in the villa.
Speaking ahead of her Love Island debut, she said: "I’m ready to settle down and Love Island is an amazing opportunity to meet someone that isn’t from my area. I love a cockney boy so I’m hoping there is one in there for me.
"I think I will definitely bring some fire, I’m very opinionated and wear my heart on my sleeve.
"I’m really bubbly too so I’ll definitely have a laugh as well as bringing some scouse glamour."
On why she is still single, Samantha said: "I don’t get out enough, I work weekends and tend to not go out in Liverpool anymore.
"If I want a night out I go down to London as I love the boys down south. Tall, dark and cockney is my type."
