Who is Love Island 2024 contestant Grace Jackson?

Every year Love Island welcomes a fresh batch of sexy singletons who are all hoping to find fame, fortune and romance in the famous villa.

Thousands upon thousands of hopefuls apply, but only a select handful make it to Majorca — and Grace is one of the lucky few.

The 25-year-old Manchester lass is looking for romance and fun this summer.

When asked why she chose to apply for Love Island now, Grace told ITV: “In my day and age, you don’t meet people on face value, it’s all off Instagram, Twitter and dating apps.

“Everything’s online! I’m excited to get to know someone on face value, and be somewhere where you’re forced to have a conversation and be a bit more open.

“This is something that would push me out of my comfort zone, I don’t really date a lot. I get myself in situationship.”

What does Grace Jackson do for a living?

Grace is a social media influencer and model.

She has collaborated with big brands including Fashion Nova and Rihanna’s lingerie brand, Savage X Fenty.

The blonde beauty is signed to Manchester-based agency MM Models and regularly shares her racy bikini snaps over on her Instagram page.

When asked about her claim to fame, Grace said: “Through my modelling, I got approached to sit front row at the Anthony Joshua fight with Conor McGregor.

What has Grace Jackson said about entering the Love Island 2024 villa?

Grace headed into the villa as one of three bombshells on June 13. 2024.

Speaking about who her ideal man would be in the Love Island villa, she said: “Plus, someone who’s easy-going, makes you feel comfortable, and can bring out a good side of you.

“I can be a bit guarded to begin with, but that really brings me out of my shell.”

However, she is set to live alongside her ex-Joey Essex who has been on Love Island 2024 since the show started.

Grace is said to have dated the former Towie star for six weeks in early 2024 but it ended badly when he abruptly called a halt to it.

According to the MailOnline, Grace wants to get answers out of him.

Joey isn’t the only Towie hunk that the blonde bombshell has links with.

The Sun exclusively revealed how Grace is followed by Pete Wicks on Instagram.
