Love Island 2023 star Anna-May Robey’s dad warned her not to have sex on TV-Sabrina Barr-Entertainment – Metro

Love Island star Anna-May Robey is looking forward to her time in the villa, but she’s already established there’s something she definitely won’t be doing.

On Monday a brand new batch of singletons will make their debuts on the ITV2 show in a bid to find love – or at least, a steamy romance in the South Africa sun – as they take part in the new series of Winter Love Island.

Anna-May is in this year’s cast, as she takes a break from her job as a payroll administrator in Swansea to sift through potential suitors.

Ahead of the release date, Metro.co.uk and other media spoke to the 20-year-old, which is when she revealed the warning her dad gave her before the show began.

When asked if there was anything she wouldn’t do on TV because she knew her family would be watching, Anna-May responded: ‘So I definitely wouldn’t have sex on TV,’ adding: ‘I think it’s very important that you are careful about what you say about people on the outside world, back at home.’

She continued: ‘Obviously, with the sex, my parents will be watching, I’m sure my family will be supporting me. My grandparents will probably watch as well, I think that’s really something they do not want to see, as well as my dad.

‘My dad’s already warned me about that. We’ll wait until after Love Island. Hopefully if I find somebody nice, but it won’t be happening in the villa.

While some members of the Love Island cast were chosen after submitting applications, Anna-May was among those who was approached directly by the casting team on Instagram, who asked if she would be up for discussing the opportunity on a phone call.

‘Going on Love Island is something that I’ve thought of before. And so when I was given the chance to have a phone call, I thought I may as well go for it. What have I got to lose?’ she said.

‘Now I’m here in sunny South Africa. So I don’t know how I got here, but it’s really exciting.’

While Love Island had crossed her mind, she clarified that she doesn’t think ‘it’s something I would have actually gone and applied for’.

‘People in my work have always said, “You’d be amazing on Love Island, you should apply,” or friends back home. That’s why I thought when I was given the opportunity, I’ll just go for it, see what it is. I have nothing to lose.’

Anna-May speculated that her ‘bubbly personality’ may have been one of the reasons why her friends and coworkers thought she’d be a good fit for the show, as well as the fact that she hasn’t had ‘much luck with dating or relationships’.

‘I’m quite an out there person, I’m very friendly and I think they just seem to think that I’d be a good part of the show,’ she shared.

Love Island launches on Monday January 16 at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
