‘IT’S THE BEST GIG IN THE WORLD!’

- SOPHIE MONK

What made you sign up for a second season of Love Island?

I love the show! Being able to watch a show and then host it and be a part of it is pretty cool. And also be in a tropical location. It’s the ideal job.

What do you do when you’re not filming? It looks like the best job. It really is the best job in the world. I just watch the show. I go in the control rooms. It’s like NASA – with about 70 cameras!

Is your boyfriend Josh [Gross] going to joinin you?

He’ll come over for r a bit. He’s awesome. He’s the e best. Couldn’t ask for more really.

Your dad is hilariousu­s on Instagram! Does he like the show? He’s a massive sive fan. He adores it. Every y time he hears the phone e beep he says, “I’ve got a text!” just like on the show! ow!

If you were to go on Love Island as a singlengle woman, would youu shack up with someonemeo­ne ASAP or play the field?

I’m not competitiv­e ve so

I’d probably sit back ck but I think you’ve just got to get in there and be yourself. urself.

There have been some ome dating show flops – why do you think this one resonates?

It’s so fresh. And I love that innocence – it’s that at real kind of first love, that young oung love where you think it’s ’s the end of the world. Like when you break up with someone meone and you go, “Oh, that was as The One,” and you really believe eve it, then you’ve got to grow up and realise you’ll get over ver it and go through it all again. gain. Even though they’re younger, it’s relatable. Couplings and arguments and relationsh­ips with the same sex, it’s quite interestin­g psychologi­cally.

If you were on a deserted island, who would you take? Ellen Degeneres – she’d have a private jet, so she could get us out of there. Brad Pitt – he’s really nice, and Kim K. She’d be good for Instagram.

LOVE ISLAND Monday, 8.45pm, Nine
