We are just a weekend away from the start of Love Island 2021 and we now know who all the initial Love Island 2021 contestants are that will be making an impression of launch night.
Amongst the contestants for 2021 are a social media footballer, the first disabled Love Island contestant and, we have Liberty Poole, a Nando’s waitress with some interesting tales to tell about her experiences working there, who is keen to just be herself in the villa.
But how will Liberty fair with all the other people that will be joining her in the villa this year? Only time will tell but for now, here are all the juicy details about the lovely Liberty!
Liberty Poole – Key Facts
Age: 21
Job: Waitress and Marketing Student
From: Birmingham

Why does Liberty want to take part in Love Island?
There are a number of reasons why Liberty thought taking part in the show was a good idea. Love is definitely on her mind, but so is making new friendships and having some fun – we think she could be a real ball of energy in that villa!
“I’ve never had that nice, happy relationship so I think it will be nice and something for me to experience. Obviously, I want the best summer ever because we have been in lockdown for a year so it would be nice to go away and enjoy the sun and make friends as well. I’m excited, I’m a bit of a social butterfly so I love to meet new people. I’m a girls’ girl as well so I can’t wait for the girly friendships. It’s going to be fun!”
She has also admitted that she is happy she was able to keep the secret that she was going in as she is normally quite the chatterbox and was worried she would end up blabbing – happily for Liberty, she was able to hold her tongue!
But when the show starts, Liberty is determined to remain true to herself, saying: “Being myself got me through the audition process,” and that she hopes the experience will be “the summer of a lifetime”. We’re sure it will be!
What does Liberty do for work?
Liberty is a waitress who worked for Nando’s and if you thought that she may be chatted up from time to time while working there you would be correct – she has even been proposed to by a customer which is definitely a bold move.
“I’ve had people try and rinse me for a date at Nando’s, get the discount and stuff. But I’ve never had a date in one. I’ve had a few things happen at work. I’ve had a napkin shaped like a rose given to me which was cute, that was when I first started working there and then I’ve been proposed to. It was a bit unexpected!
“He was on his own, he’d come into the restaurant every week and he got down on one knee and was like, ‘Will you marry me?’. But in his hand, it was a charity support badge, not a diamond ring. So I was thinking, that’s one way of saying I’m a charity case when it comes to love!”
What is Liberty looking for in a partner?
Liberty knows where she has gone wrong with her choice of romantic partner before and she is looking to change that up going forward.
“I like a tall, alpha male, confident, cheeky chappy sort of guy. But obviously, that’s always usually combined with player types, which is where I go wrong. So I am trying to change my ways and go for more of a nicer guy that is going to treat me right.”
Jack Fincham is a name from Love Island’s past that she has singled out as her ideal match when it comes to personality – as is Nathan Massey from the second series so she will be hoping for someone similar to them to be a part of the show this year – we can’t imagine she will have too much trouble there.
But what if she meets her perfect match but he opts to couple up with someone else? If that happens, then Liberty should be fine as she has a very refreshing take on it that should see her stay clear from any drama that this sort of thing normally stirs up.
“If you’re in another couple and a guy chooses another girl over you, I don’t think that takes anything away from who you are as a person. They just have a better connection. I always say there’s someone out there for everyone.”
“My friends actually say I’m too nice” she added, “they say I should stick up for myself more.”
But what about the question that everyone seems to want to know the answer for – could Liberty end up being one of the contestants to get a bit too frisky in the villa? “I think my initial answer would be no, I wouldn’t have sex in the villa. But if it is a natural step in the relationship, well, I wouldn’t completely rule it out.”
As for the sort of person Liberty is, she is “glam” but she admits to having a few bad habits like having a tendency to snore on occasion. “I tend to talk too much, maybe that’s a bad habit” she added.
