'My taste in men is not Love Island!'

Becky Hill is having a year to remember. Fresh from performing in the Love Island villa, she’s got a six-week summer residency at Ibiza Rocks and will headline the Women’s Euro Final this weekend. But she admits all this touring has left her voice struggling.

“I’ve been travelling around amazing amounts,” she tells us. “It’s a mixture of travelling, not sleeping enough, air con and planes. I need to look after myself a bit better!”

After finding fame on The Voice UK a decade ago, Becky has seen her career skyrocket. The singer – who has collaborated with dance giants including David Guetta and Rudimental – won her first Brit Award earlier this year and boasts five top-10 singles, including a number one.

When we catch up with the 28-year-old – who is loved-up with fiancé Charlie Gardner after getting engaged in the Maldives earlier this year – we quiz her on what life is really like in the villa, from where the Islanders go to smoke to who is her favourite...

Hi, Becky! We loved seeing you perform in the Love Island villa. Who do you want to win?

I really want Indiyah [Polack] to win. I’m not really fussed about Dami [Hope] but I think Indiyah has been really composed and sensible and seems like a lovely, normal girl. I did mouth to her when I was on stage, “I want you to win!” so let’s hope she does.

If you were a contestant, which Islander would you go for?

Probably none of them! My taste in men is definitely not Love Island, unfortunately.
