It\u2019s been over a month since Faye Winter made her Love Island<\/a> debut and what a journey it\u2019s been so far for the lettings manager.<\/p>\n

Over the last five weeks, we\u2019ve seen Faye couple up with four boys, the latest of which being Sam Jackson who she grew closer to while Teddy Soares<\/a> was away in Casa Amor.<\/p>\n

While Faye stayed loyal to Teddy for the first few days of the \u2018lads holiday\u2019, it was the Casa Amor postcard<\/a> in which Teddy was pictured kissing Clarisse Juliette that swayed her towards Sam.<\/p>\n

After Teddy returned to the villa by himself with Faye\u2019s bear in his hands, we watched a heart-breaking moment between the former couple where Teddy told Faye: \u201cYou\u2019re not the only one who let their guard down.\u201d Someone grab the tissues.<\/p>\n

Could Teddy and Faye work out their Casa Amor misunderstandings, or will Faye stick with new boy Sam?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the Devon-based 26-year-old, who is one of the Love Island 2021 contestants<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why does Faye want to take part in Love Island?<\/h2>\n

Boredom may have played a part in her decision to join the show as lockdown has made her want to put herself out there and try new things.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the last year, we haven\u2019t been able to experience anything. I\u2019m open to anything. The opportunity came up so why wouldn\u2019t I? I\u2019d love to meet somebody, what better way to meet somebody than in the sun \u2013 amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for her levels of excitement, she describes the upcoming experience as \u201clike going on your first date but times 50\u201d and while she is excited, \u201cthere is that little niggly feeling in my tummy of nerves. I\u2019s an unknown world to me, but I\u2019m mainly excited for sure.\u201d<\/p>

What does Faye do for work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a lettings manager and I\u2019ve got an amazing team. I go out and do valuations, win business for the company and I\u2019ll do the odd viewing and find tenants. My main role is the sales side of things. I absolutely love it! I\u2019ve actually only taken a sabbatical from work because, in my ideal world, I\u2019d love to go back to work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI try to make it as Selling Sunset<\/a> as possible. I\u2019m definitely there in the mini dresses, boobs out, bum out, turning up and you can see the wives say to their husband, \u2018You\u2019re staying outside\u2019. It\u2019s so fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also says that she is on a sabbatical from work and that her bosses are \u201csuper supportive\u201d of her joining the show and have left the door open for her to return at some point down the line. And if she were to go back to her old life straight after, she would be just as happy with that as anything else that could happen for her.<\/p>\n

What is Faye looking for in a partner?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Anyone who hopes to impress Faye in the show better be sure they have practised their banter skills as it sounds like they will need to be good at it.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooks-wise they have to be like 6ft. But then my last relationship that I was in for five years he was like 5ft 7. Someone that will put me in my place. Someone that makes me laugh. But also someone that takes my banter. I\u2019m like a 5-year-old in a playground, if I like you, I will make a mockery of you and laugh and joke. That is my really terrible flirting skills. I need someone who can take that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to commit to anything as it could be used against me,\u201d she said when asked if there was anything she would not do in the villa. That being said, she is cautious of any ramifications it could have with her family if she did get up to anything a bit too risqu\u00e9.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m very aware that me and my sister are in [our parents] will and I do still want to have a 50\/50 share!\u201d<\/p>\n

But what if her perfect partner is coupled up with someone else, would she step on another girls toes to get her man? \u201cEveryone needs to remember that we are going on Love Island. We do need to find that man\u201d. That sounds like a yes to us!<\/p>\n

As far as celebrity crushes go, she says she would \u201ceat both\u201d of Zac Efron and Anthony Joshua, but she would like to meet them both first so that she can see who has the better personality.<\/p>\n
