Where is Love Island's Samantha Kenny from?

Samantha Kenny is from Liverpool and describes herself as "very opinionated" and that she wears her "heart on her sleeve".

Samantha has high hopes of finding love in the villa and sees Love Island as "an amazing opportunity to meet someone that isn’t from my area."

But she’s got her eyes peeled for a certain type of man in Spain, saying: "I love a cockney boy so I’m hoping there is one in there for me.”

Busy with work on the weekends, Samantha no longer frequents Liverpool for a night out, but rather prefers going south.

"If I want a night out I go down to London as I love the boys down south. Tall, dark and cockney is my type."
