SERIES 11 of Love Island is almost upon us, with a new gang of guys and gals looking for love. Here we get to know Mimii Ngulube, who has been confirmed as one of this year's Islanders.
Introducing Mimii Ngulube
Each year Love Island welcomes a fresh batch of hopefuls searching for their soulmate in the Love Island villa. Thousands apply to be on the show, but only a lucky handful make it to Majorca — and Mimii is one of the chosen few.
When asked why she chose to apply for Love Island now, Mimii — real name Michelle — said: "The pool in Portsmouth is not giving. I've tried dating, speaking to people on social media and it just hasn't been successful. Applying was a spontaneous thing, I didn't expect to get here!"
And when asked what she thinks she'll bring to the villa, Mimii explained: "I'm a girls' girl. My girls are my rocks and I'm theirs so I'll be a good friend as well as going in there to find a man. I like dressing up so I'll bring style, and I'd like to think I'm quite funny so I'll make people laugh. Bringing honesty as well — I'm good at picking up on people's personality traits and side-eyeing those who might be a liar."
Mimii Ngulube's Background
Mimii is studying to be a mental health nurse, which could come in handy in the pressure cooker environment of the villa. She is also an actor who enjoys performing in theatre shows. In a production of Grease in Portsmouth, Mimii played the part of Marty.
