Love Island has been heating up the summer, after a loveless 2020.
The show is building to its finale on August 23, and everybody is starting to back their favourites – even the likes of Margot Robbie, who has declared her support for Liberty Poole.
Liberty has been in the villa since day one and has been coupled with Jake Cornish for just as long.
While they looked as though they could go all the way, some cracks are starting to appear, with Jake’s ‘weird’ behaviour beginning to put doubts in Liberty’s mind.
Will their villa romance be able to survive, or could it all come crumbling down?
You’ll have to tune in to find out, but in the meantime here’s everything we know about Liberty…
Who is Liberty Poole?
Liberty, 21, was born on September 6, 1999, and is a student and waitress from Birmingham.
She’s currently studying for a three-year marketing degree at Birmingham City University.
Working in Nando’s, the 5ft 5in student has had a few run-ins with romance – including being proposed to by a regular customer.
‘It was a bit unexpected!’ she said.
‘He got down on one knee and was like, ‘Will you marry me?’. But in his hand, it was a charity support badge not a diamond ring or nothing. So I was thinking, that’s one way of saying I’m a charity case when it comes to love!’

Liberty shared the announcement that she would be on the show via her Instagram (@libertypoolex), alongside a snap of the famous Love Island water bottles.
Ahead of heading to the villa, she said she wants ‘the best summer ever because we have been in lockdown for a year so it would be nice to go away and enjoy the sun and make friends as well.’
Liberty says that she ‘can’t wait for the girly friendships’ as she’s a ‘girls’ girl’.
She says she’s had issues with ‘player types’ in the past, so is looking for ‘a nicer guy that is going to treat [her] right.’

‘I’ve never had that nice, happy relationship so I think it will be nice and something for me to experience,’ she added.
Has she truly found that with Jake? Only time will tell.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox
