What series of Love Island was Omar on before All Stars?

Omar was on series 11 in the summer of 2024 where he first got chatting to Grace before se ultimately chose to ended up couple up with Joey Essex.

Grace told Joey that Omar had made some flirty comments and that if Joey wasn't in the villa she'd probably get to know Omar. This led to Joey getting pretty angry and confronting Omar by the bedrooms.

Joey got in Omar's face and told him that he was "no competition". Before things became too heated, Joey said they didn't have a problem and Omar replied: "Don't step to me. You're getting excited, don't show off."
