“It’s like a love letter to the fans and it’s just so different. Before we even got to the island, there was drama on the plane.
“You know what, better than that, there was drama when we were still in our own cities and just talking about the trip.”
She added: “I was just curious to see, like, how everyone was going to mesh together.
“You’ll definitely see some moments between Teresa and I that go back to, like, me getting on this show.
