Lavena Back

23-year-old business developer from Croydon

"I’m confident and I’m ready for love. I’ve been on my own for four years so whoever I meet in there I will fall for."

What you need to know: "I’d say I’m funny and always up for a laugh, I’m confident and I have a lot of good chat. People say that if I’m upset I keep it to myself too much, and then I end up ghosting people. But you can’t ghost people on the island."

Girl Code: "There are different levels of girl code. It depends how long you’ve been friends. If I’ve just gone in and said hi to the girls, girl code doesn’t exist. It’s like level one girl code. If it’s a friend I’ll have a conversation before approaching the guy, but in the villa I wouldn’t as I don’t owe it to them."

Claim to fame: "I’ve done some music videos and photo shoots as an aside to what I do for a job."
