And Zara, from Essex, insists that she has “definitely got the brains”, adding “I’m definitely a catch” but says her date must look good.
She is currently a policy adviser at the Department for Education and promises to bring some much-needed intellect to the show.
Zara said: “I’m intelligent, which means I’m quite good at reading people. I’m always analysing people.
“I think my job is quite different. A lot of people are interested in what I do on a day-to-day basis.”
Zara, who has worked at the Department of Energy & Climate Change, added: “There are two sides to me – I can be quite serious but I’m also spontaneous, fun and energetic.”
The show has been criticised for its saucy antics including contestants having sex.
Zara admits she has her sights set on handsome A&E doctor Alex George, 27.
She said “Alex has a lot of potential. But I need to get know him more though – I don’t think we’ve seen how fun he can be. Maybe I can bring that out in him?”
Contestant Hayley Hughes, 21, from Liverpool, who was ditched from Love Island last week, admitted that she could not name Britain’s Prime Minister.
And viewers were bemused when Hayley seemed puzzled during a Brexit discussion.
“So does that mean we won’t have any trees?” she asked, adding:
“So it would be harder to go on holidays? Oh, I love my holidays.”
● Love Island, ITV2 tonight, 9pm.
