While we think Shaughna looked fab before, it's clear to see Shaughna has slimmed down considerably since the first snap. Go Shaughna!

Shaughna's last relationship ended after heartbreak

Shaughna revealed that she definitely does not have a wandering eye. In her pre-villa interview, she opened up about her previous relationship which left her heartbroken. "My last boyfriend I was with cheated on me. I always used to think if I got cheated on it'd be door shut, go away. It's not like that, cheating messes you up."

She continued: "I could never do that to anyone. I wouldn't like to be with someone who had cheated in their past."

Shaughna's celebrity crush is… a former Love Islander

It seems before entering the villa Shaughna had another Islander on her radar. Former winner and fellow Londoner, Jack Fincham! "Jack is a bit of me on toast!" she stated. No, we're not sure what that means either…

Shaughna's very passionate about the girl code

Seeing as Shaughna has strong views on fidelity, it makes sense that when it comes to the girl code, she sticks to the rules. Her definition is: "Don't go near your friend’s man and don’t go near a man who has got a girlfriend at all." We couldn't agree more Shaughna!

Shaughna is very passionate about the girl code

An ex made an appearance at Shaughna's first date with somebody else!

When asked to reveal her most awkward first date moment, Shaughna revealed one that made us sufficiently cringe. She explained: "[My most disastrous date experience was] on a first date with a guy and getting a cab home to mine and my most recent ex-boyfriend was sat outside my house in his car crying. I was furious. The date didn't know how to react and just pretended to be on the phone." Oh dear… Luckily for Shaughna, however, it turned it okay. "I ended up being with him for a year and a half after that." Phew!

Love Island continues on Tuesday, 9pm on ITV2
