Love Island's Patsy is the first person to enter the Love Island villa with Erb's Palsy, a condition characterised by weakness and loss of motion in the arm, which she developed during her traumatic birth.
She revealed she has gone through numerous surgeries to improve the movement in her arm, and told press ahead of the launch that ITV bosses have been able to adapt the villa to assist with her disability.
"No stone has been left unturned when it comes to 'am I happy to go in there and get involved with day to day activities' and stuff like that," she told press in a pre-villa round table interview.

"There are things that will be interesting I guess, for other people to see on camera that I can't do. I struggle to put my hair up and stuff."
She continued: "But I always just kind of find something to rest my arm on, or I often - you'll probably see me in there - I'm using my friend's shoulder to put my arm on, so I can lift it up and do my hair."
"So you'll definitely as as the show plays out, you'll be able to see things I can and can't do."
