When Whitney entered the house on day 3, she had her eyes set on Andre and asked him out on a date.
By day 5, Whitney chose to recouple with Frenchman, Medhi – a 26 year model originally from France now living in the UK.
Medhi is a fan of the English breakfast and London girls. He describes his type on paper as looks aren’t everything, more so someone who has a sense of humour and “someone who is outgoing and up for an adventure”.
