Leah is a business owner who works in social media marketing, which will be useful when she has to revive her currently-dormant Instagram account.
The Islander is from Manchester and is 27 years old.
She has a pretty impressive background, revealing her claim to fame before she went into the villa: "When I was a dancer, I actually danced at the EMAs and danced for Rita Ora and Camila Cabello."
Before entering the villa, it was revealed Leah dated 2019 Islander Danny Williams, who now works as a fitness instructor. They apparently had a relationship for two years from 2020.
Leah has over 38k Instagram followers, which she’s amassed from working as a social media influencer, partnering with fashion brands and PR companies to make a living through the platform.
Off the back off this she’s set up her own company called Begin With Social, where she advises clients on how to expand their social media offering.
She does! You can follow Leah @leahjtaylorr, where she has over 38k followers.
Leah also has TikTok @leahjtaylor, where she has over 28.3k followers.
She posts all kinds of content, from ‘get ready with me’ videos to ‘spend the day with me’ montages.
Leah, who’s best friends with Love Island icon Maura Higgins, said she’s taking on the villa because she’s finally realised what she wants from a person.
She said: “I’ve realised through past experiences exactly what I want in life when it comes to love. I’m ready to find it now and I’m not going to wait around. I've figured out what it is that I look for in a person, which means my bar is set really high.”
