LOVE Island UK's pharmacist in residence, Anna Vakili (28), has made a big splash with the show's audience.
While the highly regarded locum's academic achievements in completing a Masters of Pharmacy caught headlines before the show kicked-off on Mon, Vakili's height is now one of the show's biggest talking points, British daily, Metro, reported.
Thankfully the London-based red-top was able to kill the suspense, revealing Vakili is 5' 9", a towering 15cm taller than the average British woman.
The tabloid said "Anna seemed a bit fussy on who she would go with in the show, and along with Yewande (a scientist from Dublin) she refused to step forward for each of the first five men".
By the end of the first episode fans of the show had discovered the young pharmacist was looking for "a tall man" who is "good looking, dark hair[ed] and [has] dark eyes", adding her ideal bloke would be "fit".
Prior to joining the show's cast of love seekers, Vakili revealed her career choice had limited her opportunities to meet the man of her dreams.
"I don't ever meet guys at work," she said.
"I work in a pharmacy, so they're either really old or sick."
During the first night's show, Vakili showed her preference for younger men, pairing up with 20-year-old chef and semi-professional rugby player, Sherif Lanre.
Before they paired up, Lanre told Vakili that he followed her on Instagram.
