The brand owner is 28-years-old and is from Blackburn.
She's taking part in Love Island because she's not yet found 'the one', saying in her pre-villa interview: "I’ve just not found the right person yet. I’ve been in three long-term relationships and I’ve always been the one to end it. I usually get a three year ‘itch’. I want someone who’s going to adore me and I’m their everything."

Jake began dating Carl's eldest daughter Danielle soon after they were introduced and got engaged three years later. They called it quits in 2018, seven months after getting engaged.
Carl is extremely close with both his daughters and apparently encouraged Claudia to take the Love Island opportunity. She said: "He was really for it. My dad said he was really proud and to take the opportunity to find someone that’s not a d***head, that’s exactly what he said to me."
