Yep –Ā  Amy is part of the current batch of celebrities looking for love in the eighth series on Celebs Go Dating.

So far the show has seen Amy share a smooch with Australian hunk Lachlan at the end of a date.

In an interview with Metro.co.uk, Amy admitted that taking part in the show helped her to overcome her confident issues.

Why did Amy quit Love Island?

On July 8, 2019, it was confirmed that Amy had decided to quit the show.

After a controversial (and overwhelming) week for the former air-stewardess, she reportedly told producers that she wanted out of Love Island.

Amy’s departure came just days after her former “half-boyfriend” Curtis Pritchard had dumped her following the arrival of six new bombshells.

Sources revealed that the blonde beauty had been given additional therapy from a well-being team, but it seemed that staying in the villa with the man she hoped to settle down with wasn’t an option for her.

Following her shock decision, a source close to Amy’s dad Ian exclusively told The Sun that the doting father had found it “too painful”Ā to watch her suffering heartbreak on the ITV show.

Amy was shown leaving the villa on July 9, where she made a dignified speech which left fans and her fellow Islanders in tears.

Who is Love Island’s Amy Hart?

Amy is a 27-year-old former air hostess from Sussex, who once met Love Island legends Kem Cetinay and Chris Hughes on a flight.

Before going into the villa she said that she didn’t think she would be the best looking in the Love Island villa, but she was pretty confident she’ll have the best personality.

The blonde beauty reportedly spent Ā£20,000 on changing her look before joining the show.

Amy borrowed Ā£5,000 from her grandparents to pay for a boob job, which cost approximately Ā£7,000.

She also splashed Ā£13,000 to have her teeth done, with each tooth costing around Ā£650.

She exclusively told The Sun: “Iā€™m so excited, Iā€™ve been a fan of Loose Women since I was 12.

“Itā€™s my birthday tomorrow so this is the best present ever. I canā€™t wait to see the ladies next Wednesday.”

Did Amy Hart quit her job as an air stewardess?

Yes! The West Sussex lass – who has worked for British Airways for the past eight years – has thrown in the towel after landing a spot in Love Island.

Announcing her resignation on Instagram, she wrote: “Sometimes goodbye, though it hurts, in your heart is the only way to make way for destiny…..Doors to manual and cross check for the very. Last. Time.”

“Yes after 8 years of causing havoc, hosting parties at 35,000 feet, channeling my inner Elton, writing hits such as ā€˜dead on the jumpseatā€™ and ā€˜five years goldā€™.

“Rolling out the Amz experience worldwide and being the queen of the party bag, Iā€™m reluctantly hanging up my wings to start a new adventure.”

What happened between Love Island’s Amy Hart and Liam Payne?

Amy hasn’t specified when or where, but some time before entering the Love Island villa, she met One Direction’s Liam while on a night out.

She revealed: “We were in the VIP bit and so was he and he walked past me and I smiled and he said ā€˜Hey, you alright? Whatā€™s your name?ā€™ He told us to come and sit in his booth and we had a picture together.

“I put it on Instagram and then my cousin who was twelve and a big One Direction fan put it on her Instagram and suddenly I was on all these international One Direction accounts.

“I was getting hate from ten-year-olds because they thought I was dating him!”

Why did Kirstie Allsopp slam Amy?

Kirstie took offence at comments made by Amy where she called the TV presenter “rude” and a “nightmare” passenger.

The 47-year-oldĀ Location, Location, Location star warned Amy she’s going to “learn the hard way” in the celebrity world if she continues to speak out about other people in the public eye.

Amy had accused Kirstie of being “up and down between business and economy” with her children during the flight and was even given a talking to after trying to get extra seats up front.

So riled up was Kirstie that she hit back, defending herself to the HuffPost UK.

How does Amy Hart know Piers Morgan?

The pair aren’t BFFs ā€” they simply met while she was working as a flight attendant.

Amy shared: “I met Piers Morgan on a flight onceā€¦ that famous Love Island fan!

“I had him and his boys coming home from a ladsā€™ trip to the cricket. They were such a lovely family.”

What controversy has Amy Hart’s family been involved in?

Amy’s family have had their fair bit of controversy, and despite gearing up for this year’s Love Island, she’s not the only family member to have her name in the headlines.

Her dad, Ian, 54, was booted off his BBC radio show after he called a listener a “window licker.”

He came under fire for the comments made during a football phone-in show, with his colleague Andrew Hawes also being taken off the airwaves.

The Sun Online revealed that the Beeb were forced to take action against Ian in 2008, when he told a football fan to “go and lick a window” during a row over Brighton and Hove Albion manager Mickey Adams.

The comment was followed by presenter Andrew Hawes urging “any window lickers out there” to call the show.

The remark received backlash from disabled charities, withĀ MencapĀ saying at the time that they were “appalled such offensive language” is still being used.

Ian apologised “unreservedly” amid the criticism, insisting: “In that split second I didn’t realise the severity of what I was saying.”

Ian was suspended by BBC Southern Counties for over a month, where he’d previously worked for a decade.

And Amy’s dad isn’t the only one putting his foot in it.

Her mum Sue was arrested after attacking a bouncer at a cocktail bar in 2018.

She spent a night in the cells and received a police caution after she admitted to violently lashing out at the security guard at the Molotov Cocktail and Vodka Bar in Worthing.

According toĀ The Argus, Sue, who is a director at the family-run Ian Hart Funeral Services, was partying with family members when police were called.
