Here’s everything you need to know about the singer-songwriter as she joins the Love Island 2022 line-up.
Antigoni Buxton – Key Facts
Age: 26
Job: Singer-songwriter
From: London
Who is she coupled up with? No one yet as she’s new to the villa, but that could all be about to change…
Who is Antigoni Buxton?
Antigoni is a singer-songwriter from London, and the daughter of chef Tonia Buxton. Tonia is a regular guest on Sunday Brunch.
Tonia revealed her excitement at her daughter entering the villa, writing on Instagram: “I can not believe that my @antigoni is in the Love Island Villa, she mentioned she would be sunbathing this week I didn’t think she meant in Mallorca!”
Antigoni was signed to Island Records when she was 20 by former president Darcus Beese.
She is also the ex of former Love Island contestant Jack Fowler.
Why did Antigoni want to take part in Love Island?
“I’ve been single for almost a year and a half and for the whole of the last year my goal has been to have as many different experiences as possible. I really just want to say ‘yes’ to things. Why not? It’ll be fun. I’m a Cypriot girl and I love being in the sun. I’ve got nothing to lose!” Antigoni revealed.
Asked what she thinks she’ll bring to the villa, she said: “I think I’m going to bring a positive energy – I’m a very positive person.”
Is Antigoni on Instagram?
She sure is! Antigoni can be followed at @antigoni. As of June 2022, she has 34.5k followers, and her following is only expected to grow since joining the ITV2 dating show.
Antigoni shares lots of music videos on her Instagram, as well as photos with some of her famous pals, including YouTubers Yung Filly and Chunkz and boxer Anthony Joshua.
What is Antigoni looking for in a partner?
Antigoni will have to wait until she gets into the villa to see who tickles her fancy.
“I won’t know who I’m feeling until I get in there – I need to meet somebody in person and see their energy and vibe,” she said before joining the villa.
On why she’d make a good girlfriend, she added: “When I’m into somebody, I’m very much all about them. My culture is a very open, generous culture and I like to think I carry that trait as a girlfriend. I really put 100 per cent into somebody when I like them. I would also like that back!”
