Asked why she wants to join the show, Molly said: "I think it’s ideal timing and the perfect way to find someone.
“I don’t go out and party and I don’t use dating apps, I’m actually quite old-fashioned, so there’s no better way to meet someone than by going into a Villa in the sun with the potential ‘one’ in there."
Who is Molly Marsh’s mum?
Molly is the daughter of Janet Marsh who has appeared in Coronation Street over the years as various characters.
In 2005, she starred on the soap as a nurse before playing a receptionist at the Scott-Roe Clinic in March 2008.
The last time Janet appeared on Corrie was in 2009 where she played an ITU nurse.
Meanwhile, her other credits include Where The Heart Is, Bodies, In The Dark, Love, Lies and Records and Still Open All Hour.
Opening up about her family life, Molly said: "I live on a farm with my mum, dad, sister, grandma, grandad, aunty, uncle, cousin, cousin’s husband, their baby and chicken.
What is Molly Marsh’s famous connection?
As a social media creator, Molly has some famous connections and has previously visited the Love Island villas.
She said: “With my job being in social media, I’ve had some amazing opportunities to go on press trips and I’ve actually been out to the Love Island Villas in Mallorca and South Africa.
“Having the experience to walk around both was amazing but to now actually live in the Villa is going to be incredible."
In an Instagram post shared two years ago, the future star wrote: “WOW✈️I had the most AMAZING TRIP to see inside the brand new love island villa with @itv2 @loveisland | PS: I’m not going on the show! AD”.
In October 2021, Molly also shared a photo alongside previous finalist Molly-Mae Hague at one of her Beauty Works events.
