* Are you also ready for the big love?
	+ In any case. I do not like to be alone and there is nothing better than having someone at your side that you can always count on.
* If you could choose: 100k more insta-follower or big love?
	+ Definitely the big love! Instagram is nothing permanent.
* How do you rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10?
	+ 10 is a bit crass, I would say between 8 and 9.
* What's your best feature?
	+ I can score with my charisma. I do not seem too bitchy, but not too shy. I like to go to other people.
* Are you kidding guys?
	+ I have the experience that many men are standing on blond women, that's a plus for me. And I have already received many compliments for my eyes.
* What is your best | worst property?
	+ My best feature is that I care a lot for my fellow human beings and my worst is my impatience.
* Do you have a song that describes you or your life well?
	+ Sweet but psycho "by Ava Max.
* Which headline would you like to read about yourself?
	+ Lina has found love in Love Island.
* How do you rate your reputation for dating and relationships?
	+ In the past, I often thought too fast to be in love, even though I did not. Of course I have disappointed one or the other, which I regret.
* Why are you single?
	+ Good question. I'm definitely picky and until I say this is someone I want a relationship with, it just takes me a bit.
* Since when are you single?
	+ For one year
* How long was your longest relationship before this show?
	+ 3 1/2 years.
* How loyal are you to other women? Would you cheat on a friend for a man you want?
	+ It depends on how well I know the women. If it was my best friend, it would be a no-go, but if it's someone I'm not really friends with then I'd overlook it. But then play with open cards and talk to her about it.
* How far do you go on the first date and what is an absolute no-go?
	+ I think you do not necessarily kiss on the first date - I like the feeling that I would like to have kissed now, then a certain tension is maintained. Sex on the first date is definitely a no-go, if I'm serious.
* How far would you go at Love Island? Could you imagine having sex in the house?
	+ Kiss and cuddle in any case, but sex rather not.
* Which type of man will you become weak?
	+ Tall, dark hair, beard and athletic.

**Lucinda Strafford** is a 21-years old Online fashion boutique owner from Bristol, who took part in the seventh season of Love Island.

## Profile

* Brighton babe Lucinda is ready to leave the seaside city and touch down in the sunshine for a summer of love and fun. Here’s everything you need to know about the online fashion boutique owner…
* Whilst being all about the fun, Lucinda is a ‘relationship kind of girl’ and feels the timing is right to go on Love Island. If the lads are looking for a girl who can do both, Lucinda could well be the one.
* Before jet setting into the world of fashion, she was actually flying all over the world working as cabin crew, and flew with some big names whilst doing so: “I flew Dannii Minogue, Usain Bolt and Nick Grimshaw. They were all so fun. They were pressing the call button and specifically asking for me.”
* It appears a couple of the boys are on Lucinda’s radar “I really fancy Brad. And then possibly Liam. But obviously I’m open to getting to know any of the other boys.” She’s already sussing them out too, adding “I feel like Brad probably doesn’t like people as much as he’s letting on.”
* As for her thoughts on the girls, it seems she is ready to make some besties in the villa: “Liberty’s a similar age to me, so I think I’ll probably get along with her, she seems funny. I like Kaz, she seems really bubbly. I can tell Faye can stand up for herself, but I also quite like that about her.”
* Lucinda’s not going in blindly however, stating “There’s none that I think that I won’t get along with just yet. But I’ll need to be with them 24/7 to know if I will get along with them or not.” Only time will tell…
* The 21 year old is aware her family are at home watching, but she’s fine with locking lips with the boys on camera “it’s literally just a laugh. I’m 21, I’m just having fun.”

As the show progresses, more islanders would arrive on the island testing the couples loyalties to each other or prompting a dumping to take place, during a dramatic re-coupling session. While on the island, the islanders would be encouraged to socialize and interact with each other, while taking part in various different challenges/tasks that would be designed to test loyalty.

**Love Island Quebec** also known as L'ile de l'amour is the French-Canadian version of popular British dating show; Love Island, hosted by French singer/TV personality; Naadei Lyonnais and airing on French-Canadian TV network; TVA from 2021.

## History

The Franco-Canadian version of the show was first confirmed to be in production on October 26th,2020 after the previous success of both the American and original UK versions of the show airing in Quebec, being announced by Canadian television network Quebecor Content. The network stated that outside of the brand-friendliness that the show represents, they also believed that LI would be a good way of maintaining a more captive audience through the use of the show's real-time format and app-based voting system.

Here it was also confirmed that the show would be airing from a villa located in Gran Canaria, Spain. On March 31st, 2021 it was announced that singer/television presenter; Naadei Lyonnais as the main hostess of the show, alongside Mehdi Bousaidan who would be acting as the narrator for the show. The first season of the show was later confirmed to be premiering September 12th,2021 through their Facebook page.

## Format

Like most versions of the show, this version of LI focuses around a group of young and attractive boys and girls having to couple up and live together in a luxury villa. In order to stay on the island, the islanders would need to make sure that they're able to stay coupled, while many tests and obstacles would be thrown at them in order to test their loyalties to one another. This would be done through re-coupling ceremonies, where islanders would be given the chance to swap out their partner in case they were no longer feeling it with their current partner. These would happen periodically across the show's duration and would usually coincide with the arrival of new islanders.

If an islander were to be left single during one of these re-couplings, however they would be dumped/eliminated from the game. Various challenges/tasks would also be put towards the couples, that would test out various parts of their relationship dynamic. At the end of the season, the last couple standing would be declared the winners of both the season and the cash prize.

* Masters student Liam is ready to learn a thing or two at our university of love this summer. Will he get top marks in his quest for the perfect match? Let's find out...
* Despite having previously been in a relationship for three years, Liam believes he’s got years ahead of him to find love. He’s been “having a little dabble here and there” since being single, but he believes this is the perfect opportunity to meet and grow together with someone special.
* Fun is always on the agenda with this 22 year old, but he’s got a sensitive side too. “I wear my heart on my sleeve, I can’t hide how I feel about anyone. I’m probably quite emotional as well, come to think about it,” he says.
* When he’s not studying hard, Liam’s learning what it really takes to win a woman over. “Pay them a compliment! The thing that girls quite like is that I’m not just like, 'You’re mint.' I’m like, 'Your eyes are piercing',” he says. Here's hoping that works on the girls in the villa!
* He's not one to snake his way into your relationship, as he’s always thinking about everyone's feelings. “If I can see two people who are absolutely made for each other, I’m not going to try and ruin it for them.” But Liam adds, “If I’m better suited to that person, then yeah, happily, no problem at all!” Bring on the recouplings...
* Meeting new people can be hit or miss for Liam, but at least he knows what he wants. When he spots the girl of his dreams, he often thinks, “I’m going to marry her one day and I just picture myself making her breakfast in the morning." Can we get some avocado on toast, please?
