A Blackburn woman is set to enter the Love Island villa and you might recognise her father.

Claudia Fogarty has been confirmed as the latest bombshell to go on the ITV show.

ITV made the announcement earlier today and said: “Boys, get ready for Blackburn babe Claudia.”

 

 

She also confirmed the news to her 22,000 Instagram followers saying she is “off to find love in the villa”.

Claudia is the daughter of former World Superbike champion Carl Fogarty. Claudia might be hoping to follow in her dad’s reality television footsteps, after he won I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2014.

Currently, she runs clothing boutique Sister Stories with sister Danielle.

Since the announcement was made hundreds of people have taken to social media to express their opinion.

One person said: “If Ron [another Love Island contestant] could draw his perfect girl, that would be her.

“Is it Carl Fogarty’s daughter?,” said another. “Hope Ron’s head stays firm.”

“Oh my god what an entrance Claudia will have,” said another.

Sister Danielle said: "Go get 'em sis [sic]. Love you."

Carl, who currently lives in Mellor, is regarded as one of the most successful World Superbike racers of all time; he is known for his fierce determination to win which netted him 59 victories and four World Superbike Championships.

Love Island continues tonight (February 2) on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm.
