Who is Shaughna Phillips and why is she doing Real Full Monty On Ice?
SHAUGHNA Phillips has kept herself busy since she appeared on Love Island back in January.
The feisty London girl was unlucky in love on Love Island but that didn’t stop her becoming a fan favourite, and she has since launched her own clothing line and tried her hand at Ice skating for charity!
Who is Shaughna Phillips?
Shaughna is a 25-year-old Londoner who works as a democratic services officer.
After appearing on Love Island in January 2020, she has launched her career as a reality star.
Since coming out of the villa, she already has 1.5 million followers on Instagram – you can follow her .
She was announced as a new ambassador for online clothing brand In The Style and has released her own clothing line with the brand.
The reality star also appeared on Celebs Go Dating on which she went on dates with Made in Chelsea’s Sam Thompson and Towie’s Pete Wicks.
Sadly, the Love Island star left the programme as a singleton.
Shaughna documented her recovery from lipodema after undergoing surgery in September, revealing it could take her up to three months to recover.
Two litres of fat were removed from her calves as she took to her Instagram story to share photos of containers holding the removed fat and her legs wrapped in bandages.
Why is she doing Real Full Monty On Ice?
Shaughna signed up for the Real Full Monty On Ice in memory of her late father Eddie, who died from cancer in December 2016 following an 18-month battle, so therefore refused to quit.
In an exclusive interview, Shaughna told The Sun: “The first day of training I couldn’t get my foot into my boot.
“There was blood pouring down my laces. I was in so much pain.
“I was skating in my dad’s memory so there was no way I wasn’t going to do it. Plus I’m an Aries, it’s not in our blood to quit.”
When was she on Love Island?
Shaughna featured on the sixth season of the popular reality TV show.
Before entering the villa, she admitted she would be full of surprises and to expect the unexpected.
“I’m chatty, funny and clever – people won’t expect it from me,” she explained. “When they hear me speak about certain things they’ll be shocked.”
Shaughna first coupled up with Callum Jones, but their brief relationship ended when after Callum brought back from Casa Amor with Molly Smith.
She got dumped from the villa when Luke Mabbott chose to couple up with Demi Jones instead of her.
She has admitted that her dream man is actually Jack Fincham of Love Island 2018 fame.
