Excerpt from Loos’ love-in:

“I was watching this amazing American show called The L Word, and I thought ‘surely that lifestyle doesn’t exist, it’s just television’,” Loos says.

She says the term ‘Power Lesbians’ refers to glamorous, successful women who are well and truly ‘out and proud’. “I’m bisexual, so I’m attracted to other women, and since it’s still really secretive and undercover in the UK I thought it would be great to go out to LA and see what happens,” she says.

“I was very eager about it, plus it was a great opportunity to go and meet some gorgeous women,” she says.

Loos, who has just flown out to Fiji to take part in the much-hyped UK TV series Celebrity Love Island, admits that coming to terms with her sexuality when she was younger wasn’t a walk in the park.

“I was quiet about it at first, but when I did open up to a few school friends I found they then wouldn’t dress in front of me any more, and little things like that, so you soon learn,” she explains.
