What has Sharon Gaffka said about Love Island 2021?

After revealing she doesn’t want to be the only one in her group chat who’s single, Sharon spoke about what she looks for in a romantic partner.

“I have this thing where if something doesn’t work out with one person, I’ll try and go for the other extreme to see if that works out,” she said.

“I tend to date someone who is taller than me, even though my last long-term partner, he was actually someone who was shorter than me. I’m quite an intellectual person so I want someone who can kind of match that."
