Firstly, can we just confess something a tad basic? We are truly obsessed that one of this summer's Love Island obsessions was called Patsy. Fabulous name, sweetie, darling. Fabulous.

But – if you're of a certain age and/or just chaotically camp like us – scrap any image of a cougar bombshell with a bleach blonde 90s beehive from your minds, and instead picture a stunning real-life Ariel with legs who might just be one of the funniest Islanders we've ever met here at heatworld – that's the real Patsy Field. And frankly, Love Island 2024 viewers were ROBBED when we lost her on day ten.

And not just because her outfits were a constant slay.

What does Patsy Field do for a living?

The Islander was an Office Administrator before entering the villa. She can, of course, now add reality star and influencer to her CV.

Who did Patsy Field couple up with on Love Island 2024?

Patsy was couple up with Ayo Odukoya on day one, but on day five, Munveer chose to couple up with her and a spark began to ignite. However, Patsy was one of the bottom three girls after she and Munveer received the fewest public votes for favourite couple on day 10. Sadly, the boys SAVAGELY chose to dump her round the fire pit.

Is Patsy Field friends with Sophie Piper?

As it turns out, Patsy is very good friends with Lili Piper, who is Love Island 2020 icon Sophie Piper's (and Rochelle Humes') sister. While Patsy admits the girls are all very good friends, she recently told reporters that she didn't actually tell any of the sisters about her Love Island signing, and thus, didn't turned to Sophie for any veteran Islander advice prior to her villa stint. But why?

Patsy revealed, "I am friends with Lili. And obviously I know Sophie through being Lili's sister and I love Sophie. They're both such lovely girls. And they didn't actually know that I was coming on [the show]. They didn't even know that I was in talks or anything. So I'm sure it was a surprise to them. But yeah, no, it would have been good to get some tips wouldn't it, but I was trying to just keep it to myself as much as possible. And I'm sure it's been quite a shock to a few friends I have."

To be fair, we get it; those ITV NDAs are the stuff of nightmares.

Patsy added, "[Lili and Sophie] are definitely going to be supporting me, I can imagine. And probably, yeah, Sophie's just ready to pass on the baton and be like, 'Right, hey, it's your turn now.'"

What is Patsy's condition Erb's Palsy?

Speaking of her disability prior to entering the villa, Patsy said, "I’ve got something very special about me which is my disability, it’s a condition I was born with called Erb's Palsy. It doesn't define who I am , but it makes me a little different, although I’ve learnt to get on with it and it’s never held me back."

Erb's Palsy affects the nerves and muscles in the neck, shoulder, and arms and it often the result of a traumatic injury.

What happened with Patsy Field and Casa Amor's Diamanté Laiva?

Remember when Casa girlie Diamanté Laiva couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter at all of the boys and their questionable behaviour?

The timing could not have been worse as it was right as Uma was struggling to hold back tears after realising Wil had locked lips with someone else.

The moment went viral on social media and our Patsy felt the need to comment on the awkward AF scenes on Instagram.

Gaining over 13,000 likes, Patsy wrote a message on the official Love Instagram post calling out Diamanté's behaviour.

She commented, "Hopefully that was a bad camera angle because no one laughs at our girl Uma like that?? Hope your flight home was nice Diamanté x."
