‘I hate it when men wear flip-flops': Leeds Love Islander reveals dating red flags and her 'type on paper'
“I hate it when men wear flip-flops” 🩴
A Leeds woman who has entered the Love Island villa has revealed her type on paper.
Namibia, 25, was one of the new bombshells who walked through the doors of the iconic ITV2 reality series on Friday (June 5). The customer service officer is part of the cast for the 13th series - and will be hoping to find the one.
Maya Jama is once again on hosting duties for the legendary dating show, which last year celebrated its 10th birthday. This is the first time Leeds has been represented on the show since Chyna participated in season eight back in 2022.
Speaking before heading into the villa, Namibia described her “type on paper”. She explained: “Nice teeth are a big thing for me, so they have to have nice teeth. I like someone who is confident, bubbly, and funny.”
The 25-year-old also revealed the things men do that give her the ick. She said: “Someone who’s too cocky, full of themselves, and fancies themselves too much. Bad manners as well, like I hate it when people are rude to waiters.
“I hate it when men wear flip-flops, so no men in flip-flops. I think men should only wear sandals. Oh and someone with bad personal hygiene.”
Namibia is heading into the villa looking for love and says she doesn’t have time for “drama”. She added: “But if someone comes to me, I’ll back myself. I won’t start it, but I’ll finish it.”
The Leeds contestant is not worried about competition in the villa. She confidently stated: “They’re just not me, so it’s no competition really.”
When it comes to her own mistakes in love, Namibia said: “Definitely asking for their Instagram. It literally comes out of my mouth within three seconds, and then I think, “Why have I even asked that? They should be asking me!” It makes me cringe, but I do it every time!”
Namibia isn’t heading into the villa with a plan, she explained: “At the end of the day, I’ve got to do what I want to do, and we’re all there for our own reasons. I don’t have a strategy because I feel like in a place like that, things can change so quickly.
“You can have a plan, and then that person isn’t even there anymore. I don’t think you can really plan for it.”
