One of the stars of this year's Love Island will join 90s boyband 5ive for the Westwood Cross Christmas lights switch on.

India Reynolds, who came third in the hit ITV series alongside fan favourite Ovie Soko, will be making a special appearance at the Broadstairs shopping centre to kick start the festive celebrations on Friday, November 22.

The former Page 3 model coupled up with 6ft 7in basketball player Ovie in the last two weeks of the show and made it through to the final.

India has since gone on to bag more than one million followers on Instagram and the couple have gained a loyal fan following.

Francesca Donovan, centre manager at Westwood Cross shopping centre in Broadstairs, said: “This year's Christmas lights switch-on is set to be bigger and better than ever and we are delighted one of the biggest reality stars of the year will be joining boyband favourites 5ive to celebrate with us.”

Alongside the celebrity appearances, there will be special performances, entertainment and competitions hosted by KMFM.
