She may be new to the world of reality TV but she's likely been given some telly advice from her famous X Factor star uncle.
If you haven't already guessed by the surname... Lucy is the niece of singer Ray Quinn, who competed on the singing competition in 2006.
Ray finished as the runner-up to Leona Lewis on the third series.
Ahead of entering the villa, Lucy was asked what is the one thing people are most surprised to learn about her.
She then made the confession about her famous relative, saying: "Ray Quinn is my uncle!"
The blonde beauty is hoping to catch the eye of one boy in particular.
She said: "I want to find someone. I have my eye on one boy, Tommy.
"I think he's just a lovely lad and he's got good morals.
"I've been watching at home with my mum and dad. My dad said 'I think you should pick him.' So I want to listen to my dad on that one.
Opening up about how she'd feel to turn one of the lads head, she said: "I don't really mind doing that because I'm not going in there to make mates, I'm going in there to find someone.
Love Island's Harry is left stunned as ex-girlfriend arrives in first look at Casa Amor
"If I need to step on someone's toes, I will . If someone else can't understand that, then I'll have to have a conversation with them to talk it out."
Last night Harry was left stunned as his ex-girlfriend arrived in the villa in the first look at Casa Amor.
The fan-favourite part of the show sees a whole host of stunning bombshells introduced to test the current Islanders.
Viewers saw Meg announcing the imminent arrival of six new female bombshells.
The new girls made their way to the villa, where they greeted the boys from the terrace.
But upon seeing them, Harry could be heard saying: "Oh my god, it's my ex."
It comes as The Sun revealed the identity of Harry's ex-girlfriend - after fans spotted a secret tribute to her.
The Sun uncovered that the woman is named Emma, after viewers noticed Harry's wrist tattoo of the letter 'E' and began digging for clues online.
Emma previously shared a sunset selfie to Instagram, where she was seen cosying up to Harry in matching baseball caps, hers bearing an "E" and, his, an "H".
The image, which has since been deleted, was dated 18 April 2022.
Emma also bears a striking resemblance to one of Harry's co-stars, sparking comparisons from fans who claim she looks 'more like Shakira than Helena', Harry's current partner in the villa.
The 30-year-old has been at the centre of much villa drama throughout the current series.
Fans previously branded him a "gaslighter" and demanded he be removed.

Love Island USA star Cierra Ortega makes a shock exit from the villa following offscreen racism scandal
Love Island USA 's Cierra Ortega was removed from season seven for past derogatory social media posts. Just weeks after another cast member sparked backlash for past racial slurs and was booted off of the show, she was fired when fans uncovered another offscreen racism scandal. On Sunday's episode, which aired on Peacock, narrator Iain Stirling confirmed that Ortega 'left the villa due to a personal situation' and had left Nic Vansteenberghe 'officially single.' A following scene showed him talking to Ace Green and saying he wasn't sure what he would do next — which comes just one week before the season is set to conclude. While she was filming in Fiji, sequestered from social media, a racist post from her Instagram was uncovered by Love Island fans. This comes just weeks after Yulissa Escobar departed from season seven after being introduced as an OG islander. By the beginning of the second episode, she was gone with Iain Stirling simply saying in the introduction that she had 'left the villa.' The 27-year-old real estate professional from Miami had been booted in just the third day after videos surfaced of her using the N-word in a podcast. After the swift removal of Escobar, many fans had been anticipating the same will happen with Ortega, a 25-year-old content creator from Phoenix, who arrived on Day 2. Past Instagram posts have surfaced of her using a racial slur towards Chinese people in two separate instances many years apart. One post from January 2015 showed a snap of her at the top of a mountain, using a version of the slur to describe how she smiles. There was also an Instagram story post from February 2023, showing her getting Botox treatments, again using the slur to describe her smile, and many fans are furious, calling for her immediate removal. One post from January 2015 showed a snap of her at the top of a mountain, using a version of the slur to describe how she smiles. While it remains to be seen if the show's producers will remove her like they removed Escobar, Ortega has already taken a bit hit in regards to her Instagram followers. She has lost over 200K followers in the past 48 hours after the posts first re-surfaced. Ortega was poised to potentially cross the 1 million follower mark at some point during Love Island Season 7, but her follower tally now stands at 709K. While she's currently coupled up with Nic Vansteenberghe as filming continues in Fiji, many are calling for her removal on social media. A new petition calling for her removal was started days ago, when the Instagram posts first surfaced, which currently has 6,670 verified signatures. One fan - @deannacortes - shared the petition link on X, adding, 'Send Cierra Ortega home,' with the hashtags #racist #LoveIslandUSA #stopasianhate. Another X user - @ShaneAnime1990 - insisted, 'Cierra Ortega used a racist word now we have to cancel her if she did it once she'll do it again.' Cass Rabbit (@cassrabbit) tagged both @LoveIslandUSA and @Peacock in her tweet, which read, 'Get Cierra Ortega off your show. This is now the third time I'm seeing she used the slur for asians. Y'all rightfully kicked off Yulissa for saying the n word, what about Cierra? Or does racism against asians not matter to you guys?' Another X user - @h0td1lfj0hnny - asked, 'Why has cierra not been dropped from the villa,,,, she's f***ing racist using slurs. Cass Rabbit (@cassrabbit) tagged both @LoveIslandUSA and @Peacock in her tweet, which read, 'Get Cierra Ortega off your show. This is now the third time I'm seeing she used the slur for asians.

X user @SSTARZZNE added, 'cierra better be at the BOTTOM of that vote after her racist a** got exposed #LoveIslandUSA.' Mai (@mainpopvirgo) said, 'yulissa said a racial slur (the literal nword) and was kicked out of the show (as she should) bc of the rightful outrage how is this different to cierra saying another racial slur she cannot claim' The user added, 'Yall got yulissa up out of there quick but not cierra ??? @loveislandusa #loveislandusa Cierra not been dropped from the f---ing racist using slurs.' X user @SSTARZZNE added, 'cierra better be at the BOTTOM of that vote after her racist a** got exposed #LoveIslandUSA.' Mai (@mainpopvirgo) said, 'yulissa said a racial slur (the literal nword) and was kicked out of the show (as she should) bc of the rightful outrage how is this different to cierra saying another racial slur she cannot claim.' Ortega has not yet addressed the controversy personally via her verified Instagram page.

Wayne Rooney 'lands £800,000 Match of the Day deal' after Gary Lineker's exit
Match of the Day is said to be welcoming a very famous face to its presenting roster following Gary Lineker's exit. Wayne Rooney has reportedly signed a big-money deal with the BBC in a bid to start a new chapter away from football management. It's said the former England player, 39, has secured £800,000 for the gig, which will see him appear on MOTD for two years with the possibility of an extension. What's more, Rooney should be involved in the show's 2026 World Cup coverage, jetting to the US, Canada, and Mexico to bring viewers the highlights. A source told The Sun about the rumoured punditry deal: 'Wayne is a natural broadcaster; he is warm, witty, and forensically knowledgeable about all aspects of the game. 'He still has a deep love for football and also gets on well with everyone on both sides of the camera.' They added: 'He is eminently likeable and has impressed on his outings to date—viewers have also really taken to him, which has been clear from social media commentary. 'Wayne will be a key part of next year's World Cup coverage, which is a massive coup, and will provide some much-needed expertise on Match of the Day in the wake of Gary's departure.' It's believed that 'everyone', including the Beeb's Director of Sport, Alex Kay-Jelski, is 'incredibly excited to get him on board', with the insider declaring it a 'great signing'. Rooney's new MOTD role will reportedly be unveiled officially later this month. Whispers actually began at the start of the year, with the same publication claiming Rooney was in talks for a MOTD slot as early as January. At the time, he was freshly sacked from his fourth management job, having secured just one win with Plymouth Argyle in 14 games. It was later reported that Rooney was looking to venture further into punditry, and it was said the role could've earned him up to £200,000 a year, depending on how many appearances he were to make. But now, that figure looks to have increased drastically. Having already proven he can talk the talk in various guest appearances previously, Rooney's next role is likely a natural progression. It also takes him and wife Coleen one step closer to a total TV takeover, given how she reportedly signed a £10million deal with Disney in March to star in a documentary with Wayne and their four sons: Kai, 15, Klay, 11, Kit, eight, and Cass, six. Rooney is widely considered one of Britain's greatest-ever footballers. Not only was he Manchester United's best goalscorer with 253 goals, but he was also England's record goalscorer from 2015 to 2023. He retired from professional footie in 2021 after being appointed permanent manager of Derby, and now frequently dabbles in punditry. By joining MOTD this year, he is part of a huge shake-up at the long-running programme, which was hosted by Lineker, 64, for 26 years. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The broadcaster fronted his final show on May 26, visibly tearful as he reflected on his career and thanked those with whom he had worked. Lineker confirmed he would be leaving the BBC completely after catching backlash for sharing an Instagram Story about Zionism. More Trending His since-deleted post featured a rat emoji, which has been historically used as an antisemitic trope. The host later issued an unreserved apology for the 'hurt and upset caused' by the video, stating it was a 'genuine mistake' and that he was unaware of the meaning behind it. In his place, Gabby Logan, Kelly Cates, and Mark Chapman will share the presenting role on Match of the Day from the next Premier League season. View More » Meanwhile, Leicester-born Lineker is already making new moves in his career, having moved his hugely popular The Rest is Football podcast, which he hosts with Alan Shearer and Micah Richards, to DAZN.

The reality personality is the co-host of the official podcast, Love Island: The Morning After with fellow former islander Amy Hart. One wrote on X: "Where is indiyah? "You guys best not be thinking about replacing her we want her on every show dont ruin it #loveislandaftersun #LoveIsland." Another added: "I don't like it when Indiyah is not on this show." Last month, Indiyah opened up about who she still speaks to from her series. When asked who she'd invite to a reunion, she told The Sun: "Probably Ekin, Tasha, Andrew - even though he and Tasha aren't together anymore - he is a great guy. She continued: "Jacques [too], Ikenna I'm still close to, surprisingly, and he's friends with Dami." Love Island host goes 'missing' from show after falling sick hours before filming It was previously revealed two TikTok stars would be joining host Maya Jama on Aftersun, The 30-year-old is already joined once again by once again by certified superfan Sam Thompson and former Islanders Amy and Indiyah. New to the line-up are content creators Joe Baggs and Ash Holme. Ash is best known as a content creator, but she also appeared on one of the nation's biggest talent shows in 2017. Appearing on The X Factor, she originally auditioned with her group NQ, who made it to Boot Camp before being dropped from the show. But the star pulled off a rare move when she ditched her band for a new group. The singer, who was 21 at the time, was kicked off the show but returned to join Simon Cowell's imaginatively-named New Girl Band. While Joe became a household name for kicking back in front of the TV on Gogglebox. He has since become popular for his podcast Not My Bagg, where he welcomes celebrities to spill the tea. Love Island airs on ITV2 and ITVX.
