He\u2019s perfect,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She also liked the look of Teddy or Toby, and has been getting to know Toby a lot better since they met. Toby is coupled up with Abigail Rawlings, but Mary isn\u2019t worried about stepping on any toes.<\/p>\n<p>Before she joined the show, Mary was asked how she\u2019d feel about breaking up Liam and Millie.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u201cI\u2019m just going to get in there, see how Liam is actually feeling about Millie really and then reassess. I\u2019m definitely not one to lay it on thick. I\u2019ll just do a bit of flirting and see how it goes. That\u2019s the whole aim isn\u2019t it? If I go in there and I really like Liam I\u2019ll have to step on Millie\u2019s toes. If all the boys are coupled up you will be stepping on toes. If I could get away with not having a conversation I probably would, as I hate confrontation. But if I need to I would.\u201d<\/p> <p><strong>Want to meet the other Love Island 2021 contestants?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/love-island-2021-contestant-faye-winter\/&quot;\">Faye Winter<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/love-island-2021-contestant-liberty-poole\/&quot;\">Liberty Poole<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/love-island-2021-contestant-kaz-kamwi\/&quot;\">Kaz Kamwi<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/love-island-2021-contestant-jake-cornish\/&quot;\">Jake Cornish<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/love-island-2021-contestant-chloe-burrows\/&quot;\">Chloe Burrows<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/love-island-2021-contestant-toby-aromolaran\/&quot;\">Toby Aromolaran<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/love-island-2021-contestant-hugo-hammond\/&quot;\">Hugo Hammond<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/ove-island-2021-contestant-aaron-francis\/&quot;\">Aaron Francis<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/love-island-2021-contestant-liam-reardon\/&quot;\">Liam Reardon<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/love-island-2021-contestant-millie-court\/&quot;\">Millie Court<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/love-island-2021-contestant-lucinda-strafford\/&quot;\">Lucinda Strafford<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/love-island-2021-contestant-andrea-jane-bunker\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\">AJ Bunker<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/love-island-2021-contestant-danny-bibby\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\">Danny Bibby<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/love-island-2021-contestant-abigail-rawlings\/&quot;\">Abigail Rawlings<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/love-island-2021-contestant-georgia-townend\/&quot;\">Georgia Townend<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/love-island-2021-contestant-tyler-cruickshank\/&quot;\">Tyler Cruickshank<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/love-island-2021-casa-amor-contestant-medhy-malanda\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Medhy Malanda<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/love-island-2021-casa-amor-contestant-kaila-troy\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Kaila Troy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/love-island-2021-casa-amor-contestant-lillie-haynes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Lillie Haynes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><div class=\"&quot;template-article__advert&quot;\"><strong>New episodes of Love Island are on ITV2 every night at 9pm, except Saturdays.
