Who is Amber Beckford? Meet Love Island 2022 contestant and childminder
"I feel like now I’m most definitely ready."
The 2022 season of Love Island, its eighth overall, is underway and the new line-up of contestants are now in the villa - and two have already had to say goodbye to Love Island life.
The twists that we have come to know and love from the show have been coming thick and fast, and the first twist of the season was that the public would be choosing who couples up with who. That should have been a warning sign to the contestants to expect the unexpected.
