Who is Yasmin Hadlow?

Yasmin Hadlow is a recruitment consultant from Kent who is in the villa looking for love, and is aware of the drama that'll come along with it.

"I've been from relationship to relationship, so it's my time to get stuck in," she said. "I think it would be difficult to go for the same guy as a girl if we were like best friends in the villa. That's what I'm worried about! Then again, if I like her man, I'm gonna have to go for it and have those conversations. It's a small villa but I’m used to this because I come from a small town where everyone knows everyone."

When it comes to dating, Yasmin goes "straight for the goal" and falls in love very quickly, saying: "Once I like someone, I'm all in."

How old is Yasmin Hadlow?

Yasmin Hadlow is 23 years old.

What is Yasmin's 'type on paper'?

Yasmin is after someone who is funny, which she says is very important to her.

"I love an accent - anyone who's got an accent - could be Irish, a Manchester accent, I love it," she said. "Also tall. I’m really, really small, but I love someone who's just really tall next to me, and can look after me, that kind of thing."
