LOVE Island’s Jess and Eve Gale revealed they were scouted for the show through Instagram and didn’t send an application.
The twins had contrasting journeys in the villa, with Eve being the first Islander to get dumped and Jess going on to finish fourth with Ched Uzor.
The pair took to the social media app where they were first discovered for the show to do a Q&A session with their fans.
When asked how they applied for the show, Eve answered: “So me and Jess actually got approached for the show, by Insta DM, just got a little message on Instagram.”
Jess, 20, would also answer some questions about 23-year-old Ched, who she left the villa with and while they are still together, Jess says they are not yet official.
“No me and Ched aren’t official yet, I feel like it hasn’t been that long, but you know we’ve come out of the villa and we’re getting to know each other in a different way, when you get to know what they’re really like, and yeah we’re just taking it chill.”
