'My Love Island obsession has messed up my bedtime routine!'

Singer, radio host and TV presenter Fleur East has a lot going on in her career but she still makes time for Love Island - for work purposes!

- OLIVIA BUXTON

It's been eight years since Fleur East rose to fame as the runner-up to Ben Haenow in the 11th series of The X Factor.

And since then, she hasn't looked back-having forged a successful career in TV and radio and coming fourth in the 2018 series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.

As well as making music, she has also been a roving presenter on Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway and can currently be seen co-hosting ITV game show The Void alongside Ashley Banjo.

Here, the 34-year-old star, who recently celebrated her third wedding anniversary with husband Marcel Badiane-Robin, chats about getting into Love Island, being "reborn" in Mexico and why having children might not be that far off...

Hi, Fleur! People are obsessed with Love Island at the moment - are you a fan?

I didn't start watching Love Island until I joined Hits Radio as a presenter three years ago and because we talked about it on the show, I was like, "Right, I should really watch this so I can be aware of what's going on." Then I just got way too into it. I love Ekin-Su. She's such good value for TV and all the drama is centred around her - and I love Dami and Indiyah. This year, I've got my husband into it and after watching it together, we sit and have debates about it. The only thing is that I have to get up at 4.30am for my radio job and Love Island has messed up my schedule. Usually, I go to bed at 9pm but now it's more like 10.30pm.

Would you have ever gone on Love Island back in the day?

I love watching it as a spectator and I love the drama - but I couldn't kiss or get into bed with someone with my mum and my nana watching. They [the Islanders] are brave. It's too public for me.

You seem really happy with your husband...
