Love Island star delivered baby with a shoelace in dramatic home birth
The Season 12 star has a very close bond with her family
A Love Island star has shared a remarkable tale about when she assisted in the delivery of her baby sister using a shoelace.
With the eagerly awaited twelfth series of the popular dating show set to debut in a matter of days, the new hopefuls have now all been unveiled.
The previous series showcased a diverse range of personalities including boxers, footballers, and models, and it appears that this season will follow suit.
Amid the growing anticipation for the show's comeback, one islander, Alima Gagigo recounted an "unusual" incident from her past.
The 23-year-old Glaswegian revealed that she played midwife to her own mother during the impromptu home birth of her sibling, reports the Daily Star.
Article continues belowShe recounted: "Something unusual that happened was when I helped my mum give birth to my little sister at home. I was busy writing an essay for university when my mum went into labour."
Explaining the course of events, she said: "I called an ambulance and a woman on the phone told me what to do. I'd say it was only a 15 minute labour."

During the dramatic ordeal, she prepared hot towels and a shoelace to tie off the newborn's umbilical cord.
After the event caused a delay in her university work, she detailed the reaction of her lecturer: "I gathered hot towels and a shoelace for the umbilical cord. I told my lecturer what happened because I couldn't submit my essay and he thought I was lying. He said there were easier ways to get an extension."
Alima, a wealth management client services executive, is on the lookout for a man who could be her very own "Disney prince."
Elaborating on her dream man, she said: "A tall man with a handsome face. You know when you just look at a guy and they have that Disney prince look to them? That's it."
She also shared her unique approach to dating: "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.
Article continues below"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."
