KIaz Kamwi has been riding high since her stint on last year's Love Island: All Stars, which returns to our screens on ITV2 this month.
Bringing both an infectious energy and laid-back charm, the fashionista and entrepreneur from Essex first won hearts in series seven, coming fourth alongside Tyler Cruickshank, although the couple split four months later.
Now, the star, who celebrated her milestone 30th birthday last year, is embracing a "boss babe" mentality for 2025 - from her growing bonnet brand Tambala to getting her driver's licence.
"I'm pivoting in a new direction and it feels amazing," she says.
Here, she opens up on the single life and her top dating tips...
Hi, Kaz! How's life been treating you since Love Island: All Stars?
It's been good. With All Stars I thought, "I've done this before, it should be cool" - but when I came out, it was that whole whirlwind again. But it's been nice and I've made loads of new mates. And I knew what I wanted the second time round, I'm not settling. It was about confidence.
Did it feel different when you came out of All Stars from when you finished Love Island first time round?
The first time I came out, it was all very new. I even took a social media break, whereas this time I was like, "I get it, let's keep moving." I found it easier to settle back into life after All Stars.
