Some of this year’s boys have attempted to get in Millie’s good books before the show even starts

MILLIE Court has revealed that some of her fellow Love Islanders were hoping to get a head start and slid into her DMs before the All Stars series starts.

The reality star, 29, is currently in South Africa ahead of heading into the ITV2 villa for a second stint, and says she’s already batting off suitors.

She may have only just touched down in South Africa, but Millie Court says plenty of Islanders have already slid into her DMs

While the cast do not know who has been confirmed for the show, Millie revealed that her potential castmates have been trying their luck before the show starts.

She told The Sun: “Do you know what? There has been a few people I’ve seen [in my DMs], but I haven’t responded… I want it to be a surprise when I’m in there.

“I think connection is so important, I might think you’re fit but we might not get on.”

Revealing that she shunned their attempts for pre-villa flirting, Millie added: “So, I didn’t think there was any point in responding. I mean, if they’re going in, I’ll see you on it, mate!

“Let’s wait and see, no point in chatting on Instagram before, is there? In person is so much better.”

Millie won the show back in 2021 alongside Liam Reardon, who she split from in September last year.

The pair had attempted to make a long distance relationship work from her home in London to Liam’s in Wales, but eventually called it quits.

And now, Millie has admitted she is sworn off of long-distance love, if she does meet someone in the villa.

“They would need to move to London,” she laughed. “No further than that!”

Millie joins Jess Harding, Whitney Adabayo, Leanne Amaning, Belle Hassan and Helena Ford for the new All Stars season.

As the show launches, they will be dating Jack Keating, Sean Stone, Ciaran Davies, Tommy Bradley, Shaq Muhammad and Charlie Frederick.

While Jack has already hinted he has his eye on Millie, the Essex-born star has some strict criteria for future partners.

She said: “I’ve got a very specific type, I very much need someone who is taller than me because I’m quite tall for a girl, especially when I’ve got heels on.

“I’m very strict with that, and I think maybe that’s not working. So, maybe I need to switch it up a little, but then, no, a short king is not happening!”

Millie is also cracking down when it comes to age, as she said: “I’d like someone over 30, ideally. But if not, then late twenties. 26, 27, 28 is fine!”

With this year’s starting line-up significantly younger, that rules out Tommy, Sean and Ciaran.

Love Island: All Stars begins on January 12 at 9pm on ITV2
