Kendall starred on the fourth season of the hit ITV2 show when she entered the villa as one of the original Islanders.

She has since found love with footballer Andrew after her stint on the show. She went on Love Island to get over her ex-fiancé. Before appearing on Love Island, Kendall was in a five-year relationship with ex Michael Clark. Michael popped the question on the beach at sunset during a romantic break to the Dominican Republic. But just three months into their engagement he turned round and said he didn’t love her anymore.
Speaking about her heartbreak before entering the villa, Kendall said: "I was engaged, had a house and I was all settled down ready to have children. Now, seven months down the line, I feel like I’m ready to move on and start dating." Although she didn’t find love on the show, Kendall soon met Championship football player Andrew. She went public with the Preston North End defender in October of 2019 and the pair have been smitten ever since.
The couple made things Instagram official after Kendall revealed they couldn’t keep their relationship private any longer. She wrote: "He got me. We've had the longest run at keeping us private but here I am ruining it! Thanks for making me the happiest I've ever felt and also irritating me for what feels like forever. Don't worry I plan on being just as annoying for the foreseeable future."
