Who is Love Island star Tink Reading?
LOVE ISLAND is welcoming six new girls to the villa as part of the Casa Amor twist.
While one of the new bombshells may be very familiar to fans of the ITV2 dating show, Tink Reading is definitely a new face for Love Island viewers.
Who is Tink Reading?
Tink is a 26 year old project manager from Birmingham who describes herself as “mischievous and full of energy.”
She has hinted she could be set to cause sparks in the villa with her excitable energy.
Tink said: “I don’t take myself too seriously, as I just like to have fun.
“I can look cute and innocent but I do have a fiery side – if I have a problem I have no issue in saying it.”
Revealing what attracts her to a man, she said: “They have to be family orientated, have strong career goals and manners are a really big thing for me.
“Manners cost nothing, so I want to see how they interact with other people.”
The Casa Amor twist sees the boys and girls from the original villa get split up and face temptation as they meet and get to know the new bombshells.
Before going into the villa, Tink revealed that she had her eyes on two of the Islanders; Mitchel Taylor and Scott Van Der Sluis.
She said of Mitchel: “I like how he has his friends’ backs in there but he also isn’t afraid to say his opinion to his friends if he doesn’t agree with them.
“I also have that quality, I won’t just agree with my friends because they’re my friends.
“Obviously he is really good looking as well and my type on paper.”
She said of Scott: “He hasn’t messed about in there – he knows what he likes and he’s stuck with it.
“He hasn’t done the whole, ‘I’m going to play games’, he just seems genuine in what he says.”
Is Tink Reading on Instagram and TikTok?
Tink has an Instagram account at the handle @tinkreadingxo.
Ahead of her Love Island entrance she had just over 4k followers – a number that will no doubt rise as her time on Love Island continues.
Tink’s page is full of pictures from night outs with her friends, and travel and holiday snaps.
Tink also has a TikTok account, which also has the handle @tinkreadingxo, where she often posts videos of herself lipsyncing to songs.
