The Love Island Story You Didn't See | Isabel & Connor

Now, why did you decide to go on Love Island?

I honestly just wanted, I was at the point, I started posting content like a year, probably a year before.

I never had plans to go on it.

My mate Zane went on it the year before and I was just like, nah, I could never do it.

Anyway, I found out that he'd put my name forward and then they hit me up and I was like, oh, well, why not?

Yeah.

And I think because I had the why not attitude and I didn't care if I got on or not, I was just myself throughout the whole process and they liked that.

So I just was like it's an opportunity and I grabbed it and took it.

Yeah.

I think for me I actually just left a five-year-long relationship.

We were engaged.

So I just went off and then the opportunity presented itself to me and I was kind of in that moment where I was like, you know what? If something's presenting itself to me, I'm going to go with it.

And if it works out, it works out.

And if it doesn't, it doesn't.

And everything will happen.

Everything that's meant to happen will happen.

So if I don't get on, that's what's meant to happen.

It will teach me something.

And if I get on... maybe I'm meant to be on this for a reason you know and I was like if I get right to the end and I decide I don't want to go on I don't have to do it so I just was kind of going with the flow and I was like yes it's a good opportunity like you know go to Spain it's a holiday um and I just kind of went with it and it wasn't until I got to the very end I was like oh my god I'm going on Love Island and I don't know just something in my gut told me it was going to be okay and You're trusting the universe.

You know who you are and it's presenting itself to you.

So go for it.

Yeah.

What was the audition process like?

It was long.

It was like I got messaged in like March and then we flew out in August.
