We're baaaaaack and BOY is this a goodie to officially kick off 2021!

Today on the show, we bring you the delightful Tayla Damir. You may know Tayla from her time on Love Island season one where she fell in love, won the reality show, and promptly found out her boyfriend - the one she won beside - actually had a girlfriend on the outside the entire time. Now, with an Instagram following of more than half a million people, Tayla Damir has proven to be so much more than her Island experience and the drama that ensued in the weeks after.

In this chat, we talk about the sugary stuff like, how does one even find themselves applying for the show? And how did she find out Grant Crapp actually had a girlfriend sitting at home? But also, we go deeper into Tayla’s struggles with her mental health and why her first business venture is something so close to her heart.

For more from Tayla, follow her on Instagram @tayla.damir. If you enjoyed this episode, may we also recommend you listen to our In Conversation chats with Bella Varelis and Brooke Blurton.
