A STUDENT nurse who worked in a Covid-19 ward is set to enter Love Island.
Priya Gopaldas, 23, is rumoured to be the latest bombshell to enter the Love Island Villa.
Priya is a fifth year medical student at University College London,.
She worked on the Covid-19 Intensive Care Unit in early 2021.
Priya volunteered her services on the Covid ward when students were contacted asking if they could help with the increasing cases.
Priya worked six day, 12 hour night shifts, supporting doctors and nurses in the understaffed department.
Priya loves exercising and regularly shares pictures of herself running, quad biking and even sky diving.
She also shares clips of her and her friends going out to bars and restaurants, enjoying meals out and getting dressed up to enjoy cocktails.
She has set herself the challenge of completing six marathons in six days.
A TV source told MailOnline: “Priya will turn heads for sure. She’s beautiful, intelligent and has a heart of gold. The guys will be scrambling over her if she gets the nod.”
She has contributed to UCL Media to discuss her experience working on Covid wards.
She described it as a “daunting experience” writing that she “was shocked to see just how ill patients were”.
Priya is very modest about her work as a nurse, writing that she is one of many helpers and telling her Instagram followers that she is inspired by nurses.
Priya loves to travel and has spent time in Jamaica, Dubai, Tanzania and Zanzibar to name a few.
