Love Island’s Helena Ford has revealed the horror moment she was knocked out during a date and shared the truth about why Justin Bieber follows her social media.

Helena, 29, works as cabin crew and a travel influencer and is one of the 12 new islanders who will move into the iconic villa on Monday. 

The Londoner is hoping to find ‘somebody funny or Northern’ and has opened up about a previous dating fail while she was studying at the University of Gloucestershire.

‘I went on a date when I was at uni with this guy, we were leaving this bar, and he basically tried to give me like a fireman’s lift over his shoulder,’ she revealed.

However, things went drastically wrong during the playful lift and there was no second date afterwards.

‘Basically, when I was really, really young, I used to be like a Belieber. So, like I was just like a little fan girl for Justin Bieber,’ she admitted.

The pop star followed Helena’s old social media account and she added: ‘So yeah, he did follow me back, but that was on my old Twitter account.

‘It wasn’t on my actual one. But when, obviously, when I was about 13, I was absolutely gᴀssed.’

The cabin crew’s social media is littered with ‘come with me’ videos from idyllic locations including Dubai, Lake Como and Monaco.

Helena does already have a connection to the villa, as a friend of show favourite Zara McDermott (pictured) 

The model first took part in the third series of Love Island in 2017 before appearing on Love Island: All Stars earlier this year.

Sharing her ideal type, Helena said: ‘Somebody funny or Northern. I feel like Northern people have much more banter than Southerners. 

‘If you look through my previous dating history, you’ll see I clearly go for personality. You can pretty much laugh me into bed.’
