Sagitarius beauty Jessy Potts arrived in the villa, as a new bombshell, with her eyes set on Ayo, Joey and Ronnie during Love Island series 11. She made her grand arrival Love Island on the night of the heart rate challenge with fellow bombshell Trey Norman.

Before heading into the villa, she said she was 'intrigued' by Joey Essex and she ended up leaving the villa with him, so she definitely completed her Love island journey despite narrowly missing the final.
