What is Charlie looking for in a partner?

Charlie mentioned that he likes someone who is quite “fiery”, so it’s no surprise he has his eye on fiery Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.

Asked who he likes the look of in the villa ahead of his debut, he said: “Ekin-Su, Paige and Tasha. But I’m keeping an open mind until I meet them. I might get on with someone I didn’t fancy before. I’m very much on the personality side of things and whether you vibe with someone. Ekin-Su is more towards my classic type. Paige seems like a very, very nice girl. Tasha seems like good fun as well. I find her quite intriguing – I want to find out more about her.”
