Priya volunteered her services on the Covid ward when students were contacted asking if they could help with the increasing cases.
Priya worked six day, 12 hour night shifts, supporting doctors and nurses in the understaffed department.
Priya loves exercising and regularly shares pictures of herself running, quad biking and even sky diving.
She also shares clips of her and her friends going out to bars and restaurants, enjoying meals out and getting dressed up to enjoy cocktails.
She has set herself the challenge of completing six marathons in six days.
A TV source told : "Priya will turn heads for sure. She's beautiful, intelligent and has a heart of gold. The guys will be scrambling over her if she gets the nod."
