Kady McDermott Is Officially Back In Love Island – And She’s Got Her Eyes On Someone

The rumours are true. Kady McDermott is back in action and re-entering the Love Island villa, a whopping seven years after her first appearance on season two – seriously, how long have we been glued to this show?!

Kady will enter the Love Island villa tonight, and we’re sure she’ll turn a few heads. As if this season hasn’t been dramatic enough! She’s already set her sights on a couple of the boys, and this time she’s looking for something serious, so she’s not here to mess around.

Kady shared all of her thoughts on making a comeback in an interview, so you can read on to get all the goss before tonight’s show airs. We’re on the edge of our seats!

Age: 27

From: Hertfordshire

Returning former Islander, series 2 bombshell 

Why have you decided to return to Love Island?

Not many people can say they’ve been on Love Island, let alone have done it twice!

I think I’m known from season 2 for being so chaotic. People always ask, ‘Do you have regrets?’ expecting me to say yes, but I was so true to myself and I was 100% authentic. I’ll still be like that now, but seven years on, I am more mature. I’m still the fiery pocket rocket but I know what I want and what I don’t want.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still going to be me and the fire I have is in my soul, I’ll never get rid of that and I love that about me, but I’m a lot more emotionally mature now, so I know how to navigate things better. I’ve grown up a lot.

Last time I got with Scott straight away and I was so ‘tunnel vision’. It’ll be interesting to see what connections I’ll form this time.

How are you feeling about going into the Villa now and how does it compare to the first time that you did it?

The next person I’m with I want that to be marriage and babies. I don’t want to waste any more time with the wrong people – so I think I’ll be a lot pickier than what I was when I was previously in the Villa. Seven years on, I think I’m allowed to be pickier now. In the Villa I think I’ll take my time.

Do you date much?

I don’t really date, I seem to just get into a relationship, I don’t know what that’s about. The next person I’m going to be with I’m not going to rush it and I’m going to be picky as they need to be the right person.

Having been in the Villa before, do you think that you’ll have an advantage over the other girls?

I don’t think so, it’s going to be completely different. Every season is different and it’s the people that really make the experience, so it’s going to be completely different people and I’m going to be older and I’d like to think, a bit more wiser.

What do you think of the other girls in there?

They seem lovely! But, I’m a Virgo and I’ve never had a friend that’s a Virgo – Jess and Molly are both Virgos. They’re the two I think will either go one way or the other with me. We’ll either be very good friends, or maybe we might be a bit different. Catherine seems really sweet, quite a loyal friend, Whitney makes me die! You’ve got to have a funny friend. I’m quite quick with my banter so I need someone quick back. I know of Leah, through friends, she’s a bit more quiet, sweet. I like that Ella takes no s***. I liked her ‘honesty hour’. We might be quite similar. People kept saying to me on Twitter that her and Tyrique are like Scott and I from series 2.

Who do you have your eye on in the Villa?

Zach’s my number one, Tyrique on looks, but he might need his ego putting down a little bit. I also want to get to know Mitch.

Age is a big thing for me, immaturity in a man for me, it’s just a complete no. I don’t like boys that are too cheeky, I just don’t trust them. Zach seems the most chilled and and is nice to look at.

Why is Love Island a good environment to meet people?

When you’re out you go on looks, let’s be real, that’s your first thing. Being on Love Island, you actually get to know people. You get to know their personality, you’re with them 24-hours a day. In real life you wouldn’t be in that situation. I’d like to do it again because now I’m so big on personality. I used to just go for the best looking one and it’s never ended well, it’s why I’m single. Personality is massive in getting to know people.

Do you think anyone is playing a game?

Yeah, potentially Mitch but I still want to get to know him. I’m just not sure whether he’s playing a game or not!

Are you nervous or excited?

If you didn’t feel nervous there’d be something wrong with you! But I’m more excited than anything.

What are you looking for in a partner?

I want someone that acts mature, I don’t want the loudest person in the room, I want the listener and the observer. They’ve got to be in touch with their emotions – I hate emotionally unavailable men. I want someone that’s really family orientated, like I am. I want someone loving, caring and trustworthy. I’m just ready for the next chapter.
