LOVE Island 2024 is already off to a dramatic start with plenty of ups and downs.
However it’s not slowing down any time soon with yet another bombshell set to enter the villa – Model Uma Jammeh.
Who is Uma Jammeh?
Uma Jammeh is the latest bombshell to join the 2024 Love Island cast.
The 23-year-old from North London works as a VIP host and model.
Ahead of going into the villa she’s admitted that she’s been single her whole life and is ready to find a boyfriend.
Addressing the reason she’s been single for so long, she said: “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!”
Speaking about why she wants to be on the show she said: “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!”
When will Uma Jammeh enter the Love Island villa?
Uma’s entrance is set to air on Wednesday June 5, 2024.
The first look video shows that the model will get to meet the boys of the villa before coming face to face with the girls.
Jess receives a text which reads: “Girls. It’s time for a game. Blindfold your boy. Line them up by the pool and then head to the terrace. #nopeeping”
The girls leave their partners blindfolded downstairs as they walk up to the terrace to watch Uma’s dramatic entrance.
They’ll also have to endure watching the newbie kiss all six boys before they’ve even laid eyes on her.
A source told The Sun: “A stunning female bombshell has entered and will appear on screen tonight.
“It will cause chaos as she’s gorgeous and will unsettle all the girls.
“None of the girls are safe as the bombshell plans to get to know all the boys and isn’t worried about stepping on toes.
“It will likely ruffle a few feathers and cause plenty of drama.”
All of my friends like to say that I like to have fun and make everyone else have fun too. I’ll bring a positive vibe and happiness!
