Who is Amber Beckford? Love Island 2022 contestant and nanny

Love Island is back, and a fresh cast of new islanders are in the villa hoping to find love.

The sexy singletons will spend the summer in a luxury Majorcan villa–while reality TV fans will tune in every night to find out who will hit it off and who will simply be pied off.

The first wave of Love Island contestants coupled up and started getting to know each other. But with heads already turned, how long will the couples last?

One of the original islanders is Amber Beckford–find out everything we know about her so far…

Who is Amber Beckford?

Amber Beckford is a 24-year-old nanny from London.

She’s headed to the villa because “it just feels like the right time.” Amber says: “This year it definitely feels like it’s two feet in. I feel like now I’m most definitely ready, and wanting to look for a boyfriend.”

Amber’s hoping to bring some fun to the villa, and thinks she has “a little spark that attracts quite a lot of people’s attention!”

Now’s the time for her to try to find love on Love Island, as she says: “After a serious relationship, I think I went through a little stage of just dating around and I think now I’m looking for a bit more of something serious.”

Amber’s family and friends would describe her as “fun, outspoken, crazy,” and a “wild child.”

She prefers meeting people in person, and says: “I’m definitely a connection and spark kind of girl–I like to check the vibes first!

“In bars or I’m out with friends and someone asks for your number–I definitely prefer that first encounter because I’m so awful on my phone. Just take me out, let’s go out and see and go from there!”

The 24-year-old will be willing to tread on toes in the villa, as she says, “With regards to Love Island, it is a show to find love.

“Girl code is definitely important to me, but I think it’s that balance isn’t it–I’ve got to put myself first!”

Amber Beckford’s Instagram is @amberbeckford.

Love Island is on every day at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV hub. Episodes are available the following morning on Britbox.
