Mary said she had gone on the show in hope of finding love, and said: "I have the worst luck, ever, with boys.

"Genuinely the worst ever. I always get dragged into the same circle of boys.

"I hate boring people. I can speak to anyone. The whole time I’ll be chewing someone’s ear off.

"That’s my coping mechanism, I just talk."

She made her first appearance on Love Island during the Casa Amor segment last weekend.

The famous twist puts couples to the test, introducing new islanders to challenge the strength of existing relationships.

In a pre-show interview, Mary said she had her eyes on Liam, who she described as "just beautiful... really old-school, like a gentleman."

But at Casa Amor, it was Toby who caught her attention, and the two quickly grew close.

But Mary was far from the first girl to have captured Toby's attention, as the semi-professional footballer had previously coupled up with Chloe, before leaving her for Abi.

The drama is expected to continue this week, as a preview for tonight's episode showed that Toby is still struggling with feelings for his ex Chloe.

It means that Mary is set to find herself in the middle of a competition for Toby's attention - a contest which is sure to lead to plenty of drama for viewers.
