"I want us to embrace our individuality'

Bubbly Liberty Poole had a third crack at finding love on screen, when she joined the famous cast of Love Island: All Stars earlier this year. And while she may not have found The One, the reality star, 24, has certainly found self-respect over recent years and is more confident than ever, as she tells new during an exclusive chat.

Liberty first rose to fame on the show in 2021 and sadly, as well as the positive feedback she's received, has been subject to nasty internet trolls ever since over her body and image. Keen to make a change, she tells us why she's hoping to reverse the stigma around beauty standards - and help women embrace their curves.

Here, Liberty fills us in on her recent dating escapades, what Love Island was really like this time round, and why she's hoping for serious change when it comes to social media.

Hi, Liberty! You recently took part in Love Island: All Stars, what was that like?

It was really fun. It was different to the first time I was on it because we all knew each other already so it skipped that awkward beginning of getting to know each other. But it was also harder to know who was in there for love and who was in there for the wrong reasons. It would have been nice to have found someone in there, but I think everything happens for a reason.

What was it like coming out of the show this time around?
