In her ITV2 interview she revealed: "I always ask guys on a night out to guess which country I’m originally from. If they get it right, they can get my number. But they never guess correctly so it works really well if you don’t want to give a guy your number. I’m originally from Guinea Bissau.

"If they’re close and I really fancy them, I’ll give them my number anyway."

To help her find him, Alima admitted she's a "good flirt" but can "cut people off too quickly". She said: "If you're not my boyfriend, I'm not going to argue with you. Sometimes I don't even give it a chance."
