Love Island's Molly Marsh opens up about her sober lifestyle, receiving celebrity DMs and why she's looking forward to enjoying the fame

I've been called boring and a party pooper!"

Love Islanders know they’ll be spending their summer drinking fizz and dancing around the firepit, before cashing in on meet-and-greets in nightclubs when filming has ended. You rarely get many contestants who aren’t up for a party. However, Molly Marsh isn’t letting her sobriety stop her from taking on the ITV2 show.

In fact, she thinks it’s her aversion to partying hard that is stopping her from finding love in the real world.

“I’m a girl that doesn’t use dating apps, I don’t party, and I don’t drink, so the normal places that you would go and meet people and find the love of your life, I don’t do those things. So I just think, why not [do Love Island]?” she says.

The influencer made her Love Island debut earlier this month and has since become a creator of romantic chaos, quickly landing in a love triangle between gas engineer Mitchel Taylor and bombshell Zachariah Noble.

While the Doncaster-based singleton isn’t the first (or the most famous) Molly to enter the show, she may be the first one who shuns the typical Love Island lifestyle.

“I don’t like the clubbing scene and because I don’t drink, it’s not [fun] being the sober one when people are having a great night, is it? So yeah, I’ve been accused of being boring, a party pooper, I’ve had that a few times. I’ll take that,” she adds. “I feel like some people need a good drink to maybe get a bit of confidence out there and get on the dance floor. But I’m someone who is very confident, I can have a good night without a drink.”
