THIS Valentine’s Day, stunning Love Island star India Reynolds has just one wish – to find herself a new man who is good in bed.

But the 33-year-old brunette admits that, in the real world, both her love life and sex life are a bit of a flop, despite her knowing exactly how to keep a man happy between the sheets.
She says: “My love life is such a bloody disaster. I’ve been on my own for ages. I’ve dated a couple of people but it’s been nothing serious.
“My sex life is literally so bad. I actually need to meet someone who’s good in bed. Please God.”
India revealed she gets messaged on social media by fans, footballers and other celebrities, but feels that men do not make enough effort for her to bother responding.

She says: “People send me the worst DMs. They’re so boring.
“If you send me some emoji eyes then you’re not getting a response.
“I feel like saying, ‘Put some effort in!’ I know that nobody is going to just turn up on my sofa and I’m going to have to go out and actually find someone.
“But the problem is that Love Island has made me nervous to go on dates.

"When you’re on a date in the villa, there are so many camera crew and producers around. It made me really self-conscious.
“So now, when I’m on an actual date, I feel like I’m being watched.”
But romantic India still loves Valentine’s Day and is hoping that admirers will send her gifts.
She says: “On Valentine’s I hope, just like every year, that I won’t be able to open the front door for all the roses I’ve been sent.
‘Didn’t even get a card’
“One Valentine’s Day I ended it with someone because he gave me a s**t teddy from a garage and no card.
“I know people say it’s the gesture, but come on! I didn’t even get a card. Nothing.
"And I just remember thinking, ‘This can’t go any further. This is awful’.
“I love Valentine’s Day — it’s a day for love. But I feel like it’s quite easy for men. Yet they seem to get it very wrong, very often.
“Women love to feel nice in lingerie, so all men have to do is check their girl’s bra size and buy them the kind of undies they know they will feel confident in and love.
“At the end of the day, if your partner feels good in the underwear they are wearing, they’re going to want to wear it for you.”
India knows a thing or two about lingerie since launching a collection with UK fashion label Pour Moi.
The Reading-born stunner is also a former Page 3 girl, qualified chef and animal rights campaigner.

But it was her stint in the Love Island villa that sparked her rise to fame. She and 33-year-old Ovie — who finished in third place — dated for several months after the show.
But they broke up after India was forced to deny claims of cheating with ex-England star Kieran Gibbs.
The beauty is not on the current series of All Stars, despite being widely tipped to appear.
She said: “When I did Love Island last time I was 28, so it was about having a good time.
“At that point in my life, children weren’t necessarily on the cards.
"Now I’m getting a bit older I would actually really like to have children.”
At the end of last year, India underwent her second round of egg-freezing and ended up with ten viable eggs for a future procedure.
Now she just needs to find the right man.

She says: “Hopefully I will meet them soon, but I did it on my own, just in case.
“I’d rather get on top of it now than regret it in the future.”
