It appears the Love Island villa this year has the x factor, from Dejon Noel-William's celebrity dad and Giorgio Russo's famous sister to a literal The X Factor contestant.
Casa Amor bombshell Yasmin Broom (Yaz) revealed all on Monday night's episode of Love Island (7th July), telling Giorgio that among her many talents she's a singer and was in a girl band called 'Four Diamonds' who competed on The X Factor.
"Before I was a DJ I was a singer. In a girl band, [called] 'Four of Diamonds' we were on The X Factor," she explained.
"Sick, how did it go?" Giorgio quizzed. "Good, we came eighth place," Yaz proudly responded.
But what year were 'Four of Diamonds' on The X Factor and who did they compete against? Who else was in the band and why did they split? Here are all the details you need about Yaz's singing career and The X Factor experience.
Who are Four of Diamonds?
Four of Diamonds were an English girl group composed of Caroline Alvares, Lauren Rammell, Sophia Saffarian and Love Island's Yasmin Broom.
They formed just before they auditioned for The X Factor in 2016 and split four years later in 2020 after signing to EMI Records in 2018.

Why did Four of Diamonds split?
Speaking on Love Island, band member Yaz said they split due to the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown in 2020. "We just couldn't perform or anything," she explained.
But over on Four of Diamonds Instagram they've hinted at a possible reunion. They wrote: "It's been a while... Maybe it's time for a FOD reunion when [Yasmin] is out [of the Love Island villa]."
