Love Island is back, and we're getting main character vibes from Amber Beckford, one of the eleven contestants appearing on season 8 of the show. Amber is a nanny by profession.

Love Island features some singletons who want to find their love partners and are living in a villa in Mallorca, in isolation from the outside world. They are re-coupled throughout the Season and have to perform different tasks/go through some challenges. Those who fail to re-couple and are left single are at risk of getting eliminated.


Who is Love Island Season 8 contestant Amber Beckford?

Amber Beckford is a 24-year-old nanny. She is originally from London. She is the tenth singleton to join Love Island Season 8. She describes herself as a "wild child" and believes she has "definitely main character vibes." She says that she has "a little spark" that attracts everybody to her.

Amber's friends and family also describe her as a "wild child" and believe she is "fun, outspoken, crazy." Amber has been to many places around the world, according to her Instagram, like Dubai, Thailand, and Punta Cana.

She is excited to chat with other girls in the villa and is serious about finding "one nice guy to cuddle up with!" She feels that it is the right time to find love. She says,

"This year it definitely feels like it's two feet in. I feel like now I’m most definitely ready and wanting to look for a boyfriend."

She says that she wants a partner who has a personality and makes her laugh, but her most considerable ick is a guy who is "flashy and show-off." She recalls the time a guy tried to impress her by showing off his car keys in the middle of a restaurant.

She does not want to date a "f**kboy" and states that she is over them. She says,

"I have patience with kids, but adults, they annoy me!"

She says that she can be very "opinionated."
