She got dumped from the Love Islander villa, and reveals she is now flying home from Cape Town to return to the love of her life...
Hannah Elizabeth is heading straight up to Liverpool to give her four-year-old son Reggie a squeeze. “I have mixed emotions,” she admits. “I was shocked with the dumping but it’s bittersweet because now I get to go home and see my little boy, Reggie, and he is the love of my life. Although I didn’t find love in there, I will miss the Islanders so much and I had a ball.”
She’ll no doubt have some excess baggage coming home, as she shipped out an entire wardrobe of specially made clothes to wear in the villa, as she “wants to be overdressed”. “I go really glam and really Scouse,” she laughs. “I get all of my outfits made by a dressmaker who knows my style.

He’ll be the envy of all his nursery pals’ parents. During Hannah's time in the villa, Reggie was looked after by Hannah’s mum Colette and dad Joey, who let the four-year-old lad watch clips of his mum looking for love. But he’s not allowed to stay up past his bedtime to watch her live.

Hannah appeared on the first ever series of Love Island (ITV)Colette said: “At first he was a bit shocked that his mummy was on the telly. It’s a bit different to seeing Peppa Pig on the telly and, all of a sudden, his mum’s on there, you know. He said to me, ‘Oh, Nanny, has my mummy got lots of new friends?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, lots of new friends’.”
Reggie enjoyed seeing his mum go to a punk-themed party, but Colette said she probably wouldn't show him any clips of Hannah snogging. Hannah starred in the first series of Love Island back in 2015 when she and her boyfriend Jon Clarke got engaged in the villa. It shocked the viewers, and her parents, who gave Jon their permission to wed Hannah during a phone call. The couple ended their engagement three months later and Colette says she has told her: “Don’t do anything without a real ring… with a real diamond in it.”
Reggie’s nursery school teachers were even cheering Hannah on, and Colette says the school gates are busy with Hannah’s biggest supporters.
