Yasmin Hadlow is a recruitment consultant from Kent who is in the villa looking for love, and is aware of the drama that’ll come along with it.
“I’ve been from relationship to relationship, so it’s my time to get stuck in,” she said. “I think it would be difficult to go for the same guy as a girl if we were like best friends in the villa. That’s what I’m worried about! Then again, if I like her man, I’m gonna have to go for it and have those conversations. It’s a small villa but I’m used to this because I come from a small town where everyone knows everyone.”
When it comes to dating, Yasmin goes “straight for the goal” and falls in love very quickly, saying: “Once I like someone, I’m all in.”
