When it comes to reality dating shows, the social media reaction to the contestants can be brutal but Erin isn’t worried. “I don’t care,” she says. “My sense of humour is quite insulting, as in I’ll insult someone and then they insult me back and we go and forth. I have no limit and sometimes it’s really bad because I push someone else’s limit and then I’m like f**k well you’re boring now. So if someone insults me I don’t care. So social media and stuff and someone bags you out, I really don't care. I take insults really well.”
Despite her bravado, Erin is hoping to find love in Love Island. “I’m hoping that because I’m trapped in an amazing villa with people, [then] I have to get to know guys longer,” she says. “Because normally I do a one date thing or a second date but I would not go on a third date because then that means that I’m just going to start to like you, so I bail.”
