Career

Kady McDermott began her journey in the spotlight as a makeup artist in her hometown of Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England.

However, her path took an exciting turn when she stepped into the Love Island villa during the second series in 2016.

Voted in as a “bombshell” by the people, she eventually teamed up with Scott Thomas to take third place.

Besides Love Island (2016), she is also starring on The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE) in 2018. During the twenty-third season, she became a member of the cast.

The reality series gained drama from her friendship with Myles Barnett, a fellow cast member. She persevered in leaving her mark despite some highs and lows.

Fast-forward to 2023, and she made a sensational return to the Love Island villa as a “bombshell” in the tenth series.

Then, she is becoming the second contestant in the show’s history to participate in multiple seasons. She was eventually dumped from the island during the VIP Beach Party.

Following her appearance on Love Island in 2016, she leveraged her newfound popularity to build a successful career as an Instagram star and TikTok star.

Her posts about fashion, beauty, and lifestyle resonated with her growing audience.

Her transition from reality TV contestant to influencer showcased her adaptability and business acumen.

Quotes

““People always ask, ‘Do you have regrets?’ expecting me to say yes, but I was so true to myself and I was 100% authentic. I’ll still be like that now, but seven years on, I am more mature. I’m still the fiery pocket rocket, but I know what I want and what I don’t want.”

“It was so different, but there were so many aspects that were the same, like the Beach Hut. It was a rollercoaster, but I loved it. There were such good people in there—people that I never would have met in the real world.”
