As to what we can expect from her on the show, Anna-May has said she's "energetic" and that she's "always running around singing and screaming".
She continued: "My parents are always like, ‘Shut up!’ I work from home all day so I don’t really speak to people in person for two or three days a week, so when my father comes home, he’ll want to sit down and chill out, and I’m there chewing his ear off! I would definitely say I am a chatterbox."
Is Anna-May Robey on Instagram?
She is! Anna-May currently has over 3,400 followers on the platform, and like many of the other contestants has noted in her bio that she's "off to find love in the @loveisland villa".
