At 24 years old, Yasmin is in the middle age range for this year's cast and when she isn't working as a Commercial Banking Executive she enjoys sharing her glamorous nights out in London on Instagram.

The self-described CEO of flirting has definitely been living up to the title! From being accused of being in a "threesome" by fellow islander Meg Moore (her words not ours!) to causing carnage at beer pong.
