Here are all the bombshells on Love Island 2024

Trey Norman

Age: 24

From: Doncaster

Job: Commercial Insurance Broker

Bombshell Trey said he's 'got his eye on all the girls' before he headed into the villa, but said he's looking for: "Someone who backs your dreams and ambitions," adding: "Loyalty is also a big one for me."

Asked what kind of Islander he'd be like, Trey said: "I’d say I’m charming and someone that goes after what they want, I’m not afraid to articulate my feelings. I'm going to the Villa  to find the girl of my dreams so it may ruffle feathers with the boys."

Jessy Potts

Age: 25

From: Leicester 

Occupation: Brand Partnerships Associate

Jessy arrived mid-way through Love Island to turn heads, and has an adventurous side her co-stars might not know about: "I’m a very good skier and a trained scuba diver, I’m big on travel and adventure and always up for a challenge."

Before heading into the villa she revealed who she had her eye on: "I like Ayo, he’s gorgeous and seems really chatty. I also think Ronnie has a fun personality and seems like a good flirt and could make me laugh. Joey is also very good looking, I like a pretty boy with dimples, he intrigues me. I don’t care about who he is but I’m intrigued to see what he is actually like."

Matilda Draper

Age: 24

From: Beckenham

Occupation: Recruitment Consultant

Matilda Draper is a 24-year-old recruitment consultant from Beckenham who entered the villa already knowing Ronnie Vint.

Once Ronnie recognised her in the villa, he revealed, "My pal was seeing her," so it sounds like they didn't date but she did date a friend of his.

Matilda said, "I want to bring sunshine to the Villa, I’m lighthearted and don’t take myself too seriously," but what she wanted fans to know about her was her faith.

"One thing I want them all to know is that I’m a Christian, I value my faith very highly. I’ve got my favourite bible scripture tattooed on my arm."

Konnor Ewudzi

Age: 28

From: Cornwall

Occupation: Barber

Konnor entered the villa in episode 17 alongside Matilda as the pair of bombshells got to pick three islanders to cook them starts, mains and dessert. Konnor picked Grace, Nicole and Mimii when all three girls were happily coupled up in their couples.

But let's not write him off completely, whilst being a barber, Konnor also plays for St Austell RFC rugby club and Nicole's type is... well rugby players for Ciaran Davies should watch his back.

One thing he wants future fans to know is, "I can sing and write music, which is something I used to do back in the day. I can spit a few bars at the talent show."

Grace Jackson

Age: 25

From: Manchester

Occupation: Model and owner of a social management agency

Grace was one of the first people to make the rumoured lineup for this summer's Love Island so, when she didn't turn up on the first episode it looked like she wasn't going to appear on the show.

But during a sneak peak on episode 11 she was seen entering the villa alongside two other bombshells. Grace has a large online presence with 80k IG followers, including Molly-Mae Hague and Conor McGregor, so it's no shock she knows TOWIE star Joey Essex.

They reportedly dated for six weeks before Joey ended things... so it'll be interesting to see if they pick things back up in the villa

Tiffany Leighton

Age: 25

From: Hertfordshire

Occupation: HR coordinator

Tiffany is a 25-year-old HR coordinator from Hertfordshire who promises to bring "spice" to the villa.

She describes herself as "ditzy, bubbly and funny" and by the looks of it she's not afraid to step on any of the girl's toes.

She said: "If there is one thing my fellow Islanders need to know about me is that I always get what I want and I am ready to find love in the Villa, so watch out boys."

Wil Anderson

Age: 23

From: Whitley Bay

Occupation: Quantity surveyor

Wil is 23 years old and from Whitley Bay, and he has a famous brother! His brother is footballer Elliot Anderson who plays as a midfielder for Premier League club Newcastle United.

The new bombshell has biology on his side as he is entering the villa standing at 6ft 4" which he says '"usually goes down well with the girls".

Omar Nyame

Age: 25

From: Croydon

Occupation: PE teacher

Omar entered the villa as the third bombshell and whisked Mimii out to meet him for a date, after the recoupling left her single.

Not much is known about the handsome single yet, other than that he's friends with Maya Jama's boyfriend Stormzy and even came out on stage with him when he headlined Glastonbury.

Uma Jammeh

Age: 23

From: North London

Occupation: VIP Host & Model

Uma Jammeh joined Love Island in episode three and she came in with a bang.

The London-based model entered the villa to six blindfolded boys and was challenged to snog every.single.one.of.them as their girls watched from the terrace.

Prior to entering the villa, Uma revealed "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."

Joey Essex
