It\u2019s the life that I want, and it helps with my business. To sit in and be single, I can\u2019t understand why I would do that in my peak and my mid-20s.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Grace\u2019s entrance into the villa was teased, Joey spotted her walking in and said \u201cOh my god\u201d, before telling the rest of the boys he \u201cused to see that girl\u201d.<\/p>\n

All was confirmed in the next episode when Nicole asked Grace how she knew Joey.<\/p>\n

Grace explained: \u201cSo, we met last year in Ibiza and it\u2019s actually funny because he\u2019s not my type at all. We had a bit of a holiday romance. It carried on when we were back home. It was quite intense. We were seeing each other for a few months. It kind of ended a little bit frosty to be honest and we\u2019ve not really spoken since.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why did Grace sign up for Love Island summer 2024?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Grace is \u201cexcited\u201d to get to know someone at \u201cface value\u201d after growing fed up of meeting people through social media and dating apps.<\/p>\n

\u201c[I\u2019m excited] to be somewhere where you\u2019re forced to have a conversation and be a bit more open,\u201d she said. \u201cThis is something that would push me out of my comfort zone, I don\u2019t really date a lot. I get myself in situationships with people I know that I shouldn\u2019t give my time to!\u201d<\/p>\n

What does Grace look for in a partner?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If Grace had to pick three of the most important things she looks for in a partner, she would want someone with good communication, someone spontaneous and someone who is easy-going.<\/p>\n

When asked to break it down, she said: \u201cCommunication \u2013 no guys have good communication and it\u2019s painful. Spontaneity, I like someone who doesn\u2019t take themselves and life too seriously. Plus, someone who\u2019s easy-going, makes you feel comfortable, and can bring out a good side of you. I can be a bit guarded to begin with, but that really brings me out of my shell.\u201d<\/p>
