They have bits of my type in each of them but I think I\u2019d need to see that and to actually chat to them properly. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">&#8220;Kavan I would say out of all of them is my actual type on paper. I\u2019m excited to get to know all of them,&#8221; she said before the villa.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Charleen is on Love Island 2026\" class=\"content-image\" data-image-catalogue-id=\"824135\" width=\"660\" height=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/824135.webp\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>    Charleen is on Love Island 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Picture:<br \/>\nInstagram<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Charleen currently works as a full time content creator, and it&#8217;s seen her travel the world and become besties with Love Island star <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.com\/news\/tv-film\/love-island\/lucinda-stafford-age-where-from-uk-australia\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lucinda Strafford<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">However, back in her hometown Dublin, Ireland, Charleen once collaborated with another Dublin-based artist for the song &#8216;The Secret&#8217;. The song was a collab with rapper TheWheloFella and it was released six years ago in 2020. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">She doesn&#8217;t appear to have released any other songs, but &#8216;The Secret&#8217; is available to stream and they even filmed a music video, which you can watch below. The video has over 135K views, so it certainly wasn&#8217;t a flop.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1782669498_201_hqdefault.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>TheWheloFella ft.
