Love Island's Elicia Bailey: Age, Job, Instagram and Strategy

ITV2 has introduced Elicia Bailey as a late bombshell in the current series of Love Island, with just weeks remaining before the final. The 23-year-old from Rotherham, Yorkshire, entered the villa and immediately headed for a breakfast date with chosen boys Finley, Lorenzo, and Tommy.

Who Is Elicia Bailey?

Elicia Bailey is a 23-year-old team organiser from a small town in Yorkshire. Her Instagram handle is @elicia_baileyy. She describes her love life as a "shambles" but is determined to leave the villa with a husband. She is looking for a "pretty boy with cheeky chat" who shares her passion for the gym.

Bombshell Strategy

Speaking about her entrance, Elicia said: "Being a bombshell, there’s going to be drama when people are in couples but I am definitely ready to fall in love. It’s the whole point of this process for me. I’m not there to go in and upset people. I’ll go in and be completely respectful of people's feelings, but you’ve got to go for what you want."

She added: "This is so boring, but just to be myself. Bring confidence, not arrogance. I’m going to scope out a few people and see how I feel. I’m very direct though, on first dates I plan when we’re getting married, when we’re having babies, our favourite baby names." She also cited her eye contact as a key flirting technique.

Target Boys in the Villa

Elicia has set her sights on Aidan and Finley, admitting some boys are her "type on paper" while one has "something that draws her in". She is ready to graft to form a solid couple before the show ends.

Watch Love Island tonight at 9pm on ITVX and ITV2.
