She is also a GB News Presenter.

Tonia revealed her excitement at her daughter entering the villa, writing on Instagram: "I can not believe that my @antigoni is in the Love Island Villa, she mentioned she would be sunbathing this week I didn’t think she meant in Mallorca!"

Tonia is married to Paul Buxton. The couple have four children, including Antigoni, and have been married since 1996.

By looks of Paul's Instagram, he's well into his fitness and regularly trains with Antigoni.

Why did Antigoni want to take part in Love Island?

"I’ve been single for almost a year and a half and for the whole of the last year my goal has been to have as many different experiences as possible. I really just want to say ‘yes’ to things. Why not? It’ll be fun. I’m a Cypriot girl and I love being in the sun. I’ve got nothing to lose!" Antigoni revealed.

Asked what she thinks she'll bring to the villa, she said: "I think I’m going to bring a positive energy - I’m a very positive person."

She sure is! Antigoni can be followed at @antigoni. When she arrived, she had 34.5k followers, but since joining the ITV2 dating show that has rocketed to over 95k.

Antigoni shares lots of music videos on her Instagram, as well as photos with some of her famous pals, including YouTubers Yung Filly and Chunkz and boxer Anthony Joshua.

What is Antigoni looking for in a partner?

Antigoni will have to wait until she gets into the villa to see who tickles her fancy.

"I won’t know who I’m feeling until I get in there - I need to meet somebody in person and see their energy and vibe," she said before joining the villa.

On why she'd make a good girlfriend, she added: "When I’m into somebody, I’m very much all about them. My culture is a very open, generous culture and I like to think I carry that trait as a girlfriend. I really put 100 per cent into somebody when I like them. I would also like that back!"
