The Love Island villa has descended into chaos just days into the series following the arrival of bombshell Uma Jammeh during Wednesday’s episode.
The new arrival caused ructions after kissing all of the boys within moments of her entry into the villa, before taking both Ayo Odukoya and Joey Essex to the hideaway.
Her actions left the other girls less than impressed, with Samantha Kenny visibly fuming after Uma showed interest in her couple, Joey.
Meanwhile, Mimii Ngulube couldn’t fight back her tears after Uma whisked Ayo off to the hideaway, after they made an early connection.
With both boys showing an active interest in Uma, her arrival has certainly ruffled feathers among the group.

She then pulled Joey for a chat in the hidden area – which is now open at all times
Viewers noted the tension building between the girls already as they joked she ‘has them on their toes’ on Thursday.
They said: ‘Uma has these girls on their toes’; ‘Uma the earthquake that you are’; Uma has probably been there for about an hour and the girls already hate her and are so jealous of her’; ‘Uma has these girls on their toes’;
‘Uma please take it easy, the girls are restless’; ‘Uma has fully rattled all the girls’; Uma did her job as a bombshell icl she shook that villa up in the space of 10 minutes’; ‘Love how Uma is ruffling Samantha’s feathers’.
As well as turning the heads of both Ayo and Joey, Uma also revealed she has previously kissed fellow contestant Ronnie Vint, 27/
In a teaser for Thursday’s episode, it was revealed that Uma’s already kissed one of the villa’s boys while the pair were still living on the outside.
During the short clip, contestant Ronnie realised he recognises Uma from an event they both attended a few years ago.
Speaking in the Beach Hut, Ronnie said: ‘During the tour of the villa, I was like “I recognise you” but I can’t work it out and she was like “Do you remember the night?” and I was like “Oh, yeah.”‘

The pair then chatted about the night they met at Ballie Ballerson in London – which features a huge ball pool.
Uma said: ‘So, where do we know each other from? I’m pretty sure it was you but do you remember the Euros like four years ago at Ballie Ballerson.’
Ronnie responded with: ‘For the final? Yeah, it was! Nothing happened though, did it?’
Uma then replied with: ‘I don’t think so. I don’t know. I’m not sure if we kissed or not.’
Ronnie then proceeded to ask Uma whether she was working or not – and when she said she was – the information quickly jogged Ronnie’s memory as he declared: ‘Yeah, we did!’
The previous connection between Ronnie and Uma could potentially cause a problem for islander Jess White, 25, as she has been coupled up with Ronnie since day one.
The pair have also shared several steamy kisses around the villa much to Samantha’s dismay.
It comes after Ronnie sidelined Samantha during a game of truth or dare in Tuesday night’s episode.

Samantha was dared to kiss the Islander who she had an instant connection with and wasted no time in leaning in for a smooch with Ronnie.
Ronnie was then dared to kiss the two Islanders who he thinks have the best bodies and he chose Jess and Harriett, leaving Samantha less than impressed.
Ahead of entering the villa, Uma shared: ‘Now is a good time for me, I’m young. I’ve been single for my whole life, it’s about time I’m not single anymore. I’m ready for a boyfriend.’
‘All of my friends like to say that I like to have fun and make everyone else to have fun too. I’ll bring a positive vibe and happiness.’

After her snog with the boys Uma picked Ayo to take to the Hideaway – who looked completely baffled as he took off his eye mask to see the new bombshell
‘When people first see me, they usually think I’m going to be horrible, they are always surprised when I’m not!’
On walking into the house, Uma was immediately given a challenge – to kiss every single boy in the villa.
The men all lined up blindfolded outside while the girls watched on from the terrace as Uma snogged each one before selecting someone to take on a date.
During the episode, viewers at home saw Uma cheekily whisper to former TOWIE star Joey Essex, 33, ‘See you later’.
LOVE ISLAND 2024: MEET THE CONTESTANTS
NAME: Mimii Ngulube
AGE: 24
FROM: Portsmouth
OCCUPATION: Mental Health Nurse
WHY LOVE ISLAND? The pool in Portsmouth is not giving. I’ve tried dating, speaking to people on social media and it just hasn’t been successful. Applying was a spontaneous thing, I didn’t expect to get here!
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? My girls are my rocks and I’m theirs so I’ll be a good friend as well as going in there to find a man. I like dressing up so I’ll bring style, and I’d like to think I’m quite funny so I’ll make people laugh. Bringing honesty as well – I’m good at picking up on people’s personality traits and side-eyeing those who might be a liar.
NAME: Patsy Field
AGE: 29
FROM: Orpington
OCCUPATION: Office Administrator
WHAT DO YOU WANT THE ISLANDERS TO KNOW? I’ve got something very special about me which is my disability, it’s a condition I was born with called Ebs Palsy. It doesn’t define who I am , but it makes me a little different, although I’ve learnt to get on with it and it’s never held me back.
HOW WOULD FRIENDS/FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? My friends would say that I’m the loudest person in the group, I’m the one who’s always up for doing a dare, the life and soul of the party. My family would say that I’m bossy and that it’s always my way or the highway, they’d say I rule the roost.
NAME: Sean Stone
AGE: 24
FROM: Hertford
OCCUPATION: Sweet Salesman
WHY LOVE ISLAND? I’ve always been one for relationships and when you have found someone you want to be with it’s the best feeling. Now is the perfect time, the one thing that is missing is my soulmate.
HOW WOULD FRIENDS/FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? Very loving, caring and thoughtful. I’m the kind of guy that if you broke down on the motorway and needed your tyre changed, I’d be there at any time of night.
NAME: Harriett Blackmore
AGE: 24
FROM: Brighton
OCCUPATION: Dancer & Personal Shopper
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? I’ll bring the entertainment for everyone in the Villa, whether that’s making the girls laugh or making the boys turn their heads, I’m sure that I’ll bring the drama.
CLAIM T0 FAME? Being a bit of an IT girl in Brighton, I’ve done personal shopping for the rapper Arrdee and one of my best friends is Saffron Barker the YouTuber.
NAME: Ayo Odukoya
AGE: 25
FROM: Canning Town
OCCUPATION: Model
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? I think I’d bring excitement and joy. I think people would have someone to come to and talk to and feel comfortable being around or to have a laugh with. I think I’m somebody everyone would take to.
WHY SHOULD SOMEBODY DATE YOU? I feel like the way I carry myself is very respectful and I think people take to that and once you show who you are to somebody you get it back tenfold. The way I am gives off a good enough energy for people to feel comfortable around me.
NAME: Samantha Kenny
AGE: 26
FROM: Liverpool
OCCUPATION: Makeup Artist
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? I think I will definitely bring some fire, I’m very opinionated and wear my heart on my sleeve. I’m really bubbly too so I’ll definitely have a laugh as well as bringing some scouse glamour.
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I don’t get out enough, I work weekends and tend to not go out in Liverpool anymore. If I want a night out I go down to London as I love the boys down south. Tall, dark and cockney is my type.
NAME: Munveer Jabbal
AGE: 30
FROM: Surbiton, Surrey
OCCUPATION: Recruitment Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I haven’t found the right girl, I’m quite picky and have high standards. Dating in London is horrible. You don’t know who’s single… but now you’re putting me in a place where everyone’s single so there’s no issues around that.
CLAIM T0 FAME? I’m mates with Spencer Morgan (Piers Morgan’s son). We met when I moved to Fulham in 2018.
NAME: Nicole Samuel
AGE: 24
FROM: Aberdare, Wales
OCCUPATION: Accounts Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I’ve been enjoying single life and the attention of different boys, it’s fun. I’ve enjoyed being able to go on holiday with the girls and not having to worry about someone back home. All the girls are there texting in their room and I’m out till 4 in the morning living my best life.
WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? I became a world champion dancer in 2011, not many people know that. I was a professional street dancer.
NAME: Ronnie Vint
AGE: 27
FROM: South East London
OCCUPATION: Semi Professional Footballer
WHAT’S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? I want someone that’s family orientated, caring and career minded. Lookwise, I like blondes with nice boobs but am partial to a brunette too.
CLAIM T0 FAME? Bradley Dack is my best friend and he and Olivia are a big part of my life. I call Olivia my big little sister, she always looks out for me.
NAME: Jess White
AGE: 25
FROM: Stockport
OCCUPATION: Retail Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I don’t underestimate the fact that I’m hard work. I know what I want and I’m not easily pleased. When you’re a loud, outgoing woman, sometimes it can intimidate men – men don’t always want that.
WHAT’S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? I love a set of white Turkey teeth but a good set of Turkey teeth. I would say personality traits, you have to be family orientated. You have to be tall, you can’t be shorter than me, I can’t be having to question whether I can wear heels around you and what height of heels I can wear. If you’re vertically challenged, it’s not for me.
NAME: Ciaran Davies
AGE: 21
FROM: Pencoed, South Wales
OCCUPATION: Surveyor
WHAT’S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? Obviously looks but humour is a big thing for me, I’m a bit of a wind up so I want a girl who can give it back. Loyalty is another one for me, I think that’s the most important thing to look for in a relationship.
CLAIM T0 FAME? When I was in Malia on a boys holiday I pretended to be Liam Reardon from series 7 to get into a club because they wouldn’t let us in. It worked and we ended up getting a private booth and free drinks all night.
NAME: Uma Jammeh
AGE: 23
FROM: Islington, north London
OCCUPATION: VIP host / model
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I feel like I’ve been so unlucky in love! It’s all been underwhelming so far. I don’t know what the reason is, I think it’s them, as it can’t be me!
CLAIM TO FAME? I was born in a closet in the hospital! There were no rooms left, my poor Mum!
