She reportedly said: “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!”
Since the news has been confirmed, Tonia Buxton has taken to Instagram and said she’s ‘excited’ for her daughter.
The Sunday Brunch regular said: “I cannot 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!
