Amber Gill was asked to go on Love Island 2018

Amber Gill was asked to go on ‘Love Island’ last year but rejected the show because she had a boyfriend.
The ‘Love Island’ 2019 winner – who triumphed on the ITV2 dating programme with Greg O’Shea – has revealed she was approached via Instagram to appear in the fourth series in 2018, but had to turn the chance down.
She said: "I didn’t actually apply to go in the villa, I got asked via Instagram.
"I did get asked the year before but I had a boyfriend – but let’s not talk about him.
"When I got asked [this year] I thought, ‘Why the hell not, let’s try it.’ "
The 22-year-old star also admitted she is unlikely to return to her career of performing treatments as a beauty therapist, but still wants to speak about beauty because that is "what [she] knows".
She said: "I don’t necessarily think I’ll be a beauty therapist anymore, performing treatments.
"But I’m definitely keeping my skincare, haircare, anything like that.
"Beauty is what I know and that’s what I know I can talk about."
Amber is flying out to Ireland this weekend to meet Greg’s family following their ‘Love Island’ triumph, and insisted he is "lusher" outside of the villa.
She said: "I’m going to see Greg this weekend. I’m going to fly over to Ireland and spend the weekend with him.
"He’s lusher in real life, he’s so fit."
Amber admits her life has been "absolutely crazy" since she departed the show, and she didn’t expect to even be in the villa "that long" because she feared her "harsh" personality may put other Islanders off.
Speaking in a Q&A on her Instagram, she added: "Life after the villa has been absolute crazy, I haven’t had a minute to myself.
"I’ve been going back and forth between Newcastle and London, but it’s great I absolute love it.
"I don’t think it’s sunk in for me and Greg that we won. We weren’t expecting it at all. It was absolutely amazing. It wasn’t in my sights when I first went in.
"I half miss the villa and half don’t. Because everything that’s happening now is amazing and I absolutely love it and I love being out and being able to speak to my family.
"But the villa was so cute and enclosed.
"I didn’t expect to be in the villa that long. I know I can be quite harsh and people take us the wrong way, so I was worried people wouldn’t get my personality.
"But I think the Islanders understood I was joking the majority of the time."
