LUCIE Donlan is currently one of the favourites to win Love Island 2019 and take home the £50,000 prize money.
The Cornish surfer became a hit with the fellas early on, turning the heads of Tommy Fury, Joe Garratt and Anton Danyluk. Here’s the lowdown on the stunning islander…
Lucie, 21, from Newquay, describes herself as different from the usual girls who go on the show saying: “I’m more into sports as well as being glam.”
Lucie prefers to hang out with guys as they are “less drama” and is not a fan of spending time with “girly girls”, which makes the Love Island villa an interesting choice to spend a summer.
But she admitted she got on with more sporty girls.
When quizzed about her personality traits the blonde bombshell said she “can cut boys off pretty quickly” but is “kind, thoughtful and bubbly”.
Lucie lost two stone and completely transformed her body before entering the villa.
She went from a size 12 to 6 thanks to a gruelling fitness regime, which she documented online.
She decided to get in shape when she started modelling at the age of 17 and reached her “perfect” weight in the summer of 2017.
Lucie revealed: “I’ve been training with @kapowhealthyliving over a year now. The first picture is when I first started, and the last one is where I am now.
“In just over a year I have lost around about 2 stone, and I have now reached the perfect weight for me…for #mondaymotivation this is achievable through healthy eating and regular exercise.”
Speaking about changing her diet, she told OK! Magazine: “When I was younger I’d always eat chocolates and pasta. When I started modelling at 17, I realised I needed to lose a bit of weight to be healthy.”
Lucie is hoping to couple up with a sporty guy with the “typical surfer look” and finds arrogance a huge turn off.
Her celebrity crush is Instagram star Jay Alvarrez, however she has spent time with Joey Essex.
When asked about the Essex superstar she said “Looks-wise I wouldn’t go for that kind of look but I do like his personality. We said that we would go on a date but it didn’t happen.”
Surfer Lucie loves sports so it’s no surprise that her Instagram is filled with sun, sand and sea.
The 21-year-old is no stranger to swanning around in a bikini if her feed is anything to go by, and we don’t blame her with those killer abs.

Lucie used to date last year’s contestant Charlie Frederick.
Though despite enjoying a short-lived romance, things have since turned sour with Charlie accusing Lucie of only going on the show for fame.
The 24-year-old briefly dated the surfer, 21, earlier this year and enjoyed a romantic trip to Portugal before calling time on their relationship.
Although he enjoyed their time together, Charlie doesn’t think Lucie has any interest in finding love.
He told the Mail Online: “Most definitely not looking for love. She’s only 21. I hope she’s going in there with the right intentions. She’ll get a couple of Instagram followers on the way, if you know what I mean.
“She said it herself. I don’t even need to say she used my name to get famous. You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do to get the Z-list fame.”
Charlie insisted the pair were never truly serious about each other and said he found Lucie immature.
He continued: “It all went really fast. It was a bit of a holiday romance. If you ask me, it was really good, her family were great but it didn’t work out. She was too young.”
The Sun also revealed that Lucie has enjoyed flings with McFly star Dougie Poynter and Joey Essex.
Loyal was the buzz word of last season thanks to Georgia Steel, but where does the new Islander stand on this issue?
Lucie admits she has a “wandering eye” and has cheated in the past because she got on with someone else better.
However, this was a few years ago and “she wouldn’t do it again”.
But when is comes to stealing another girl’s man, she has no qualms as when asked her opinion on girl code she said “I don’t think there really is one.”
You’ll be able to get your fix of the show every night on ITV2 where the main programme, hilariously narrated by Iain Stirling, will give us the lowdown on all the goings-on in the villa – from couples cracking on to singletons getting mugged off.
Saturday night’s show differs from the rest of the week, as it is a round-up of all the best bits from the villa that week – and maybe some unseen footage.
If that’s not enough, you can also watch Caroline Flack‘s spin off show Aftersun on Sunday nights at 10pm after the main show has aired, where she discusses the latest action with celebrity guests, as well as those eliminated from the villa.
