In her official interview ahead of the start of the winter series of Love Island, the 25-year-old said: "Jack Fincham is a bit of me on toast!"

Of course this didn't go unnoticed and Jack was quick to make his move.

Sharing a snap of the comment on his Instagram, he wrote alongside it: "Well @shaughnaphillips I'm gonna have a look at flights to South Africa now.."

It seems the Essex lad is keen to have a slice of the action as the first ever winter series of Love Island kicks off this weekend.

And Shaughna, who is a democratic services officer from London, is sure to cause a stir this year.

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."

The pretty blonde has undergone somewhat of a weight-loss transformation ahead of her stint on the ITV2 show.

Revealing her journey in a series of Instagram posts, she wrote: "Consistency, not perfection."

When asked what her worst habit is, Shaughna admitted: "Thinking I’m always right… or should I say, knowing I’m always right. Also I never know when to shut up, there are some battles you won’t win, but I’m still going to try."

However, she is a firm believer in girl code: "Don’t go near your friend’s man and don’t go near a man who has got a girlfriend at all.

"If I actually liked someone, had a genuine connection and a girl comes in and would like to talk to them, I’d definitely mark my territory - in a cool, calm way."
