While the latest series of Love Island is long over and we're left in that awkward limbo before the next All Stars, we're still thinking about some standout Islanders from Love Island 2024. The girls brought it this year, with Grace Jackson and Uma Jammeh being amongst our favourite bombshells ever, but one underrated Islander was Patsy Field, dumped far too soon if you ask us.
Patsy, who was single for three years before entering the villa, may have left without a boyfriend, but Closer HQ is full of fans nonetheless.
Who is Patsy Field?
Patsy was one of Love Island 2024’s OG Islanders.
How old is Patsy Field?
Patsy is 29 years old.
Who was Patsy Field coupled up with on Love Island?
While she was initially coupled up with Ayo Odukoya, she quickly caught the eye of Munveer Jabaal, although they quickly realised that they were better off as a friendship couple. The pair were left in the bottom when they were voted the least compatible couple, and the male Islanders chose to dump her out of the girls. She briefly returned to the villa near the final episode along with the rest of her dumped Islanders and voted for Jessy Potts and Joey Essex to leave the villa.
Are Patsy Field and Sophie Piper friends?
Before heading into the villa, Patsy told Closer that she already had an inside connection to the show, although she didn’t use that to her advantage when applying for the show.
'I am friends with Lili [Piper]. And obviously I know Sophie [Piper] through being Lili's sister and I love Sophie. They're both such lovely girls. And they didn't actually know that I was coming on.
'They didn't even know that I was in talks or anything. So, I'm sure it was a surprise to them. It would have been good to get some tips wouldn't it? But I was trying to just keep it to myself as much as possible.'
What disability does Patsy Field have?
Patsy was the first person to compete on Love Island with the disability Erb's palsy. When we sat down with Patsy before filming began, we asked if she’s hoping to fly the flag for representation whilst in the Love Island villa and what that means to her.
'Yeah, definitely. Whenever the moment is ready, really from the moment I go in, whenever's appropriate.
'I'm really happy to talk about it, explain it to everyone who wants to know about the condition and about how I kind of get on with my life with having it. And I definitely want to be good representation to anyone who has my condition or similar conditions because I'm sure people who haven't got the exact same thing will be feeling similar watching someone on Love Island with this.
'Just thinking that, "Okay, well if she can go on there and be this confident, and be body confident, then I can do similar things," and I hope I'm an inspiration. I hope.'
Why did Patsy Field go on Love Island?
Patsy told Closer, 'I'm just not meeting them day to day in my normal life. I don't use dating apps. And I'm not going out to the bars as much as I was when I was 21. So I'm hoping, I'm hoping I'm going to find him in the next couple of days.'
Seeing as that didn't work out in the villa, she may have better luck on the apps or All Stars 2025?
Does Patsy Field have an Instagram account?
She does, and you can follow her at @patsylouu.
