NEW Love Island bombshell Uma Jammeh has already secretly snogged one of the Islanders after hooking up at a showbiz party four years ago.
The model and VIP host, 23, met Ronnie Vint at a glitzy bash whilst working and they had a drunken kiss.
Semi-pro footballer Ronnie moves in showbiz circles because of his best mate Bradley Dack’s now-wife Olivia Attwood and has attended lots of events with the football lads.
On tonight’s show, he realises that he recognises Uma from one event.
Speaking in the Beach Hut, Ronnie, 27, says: “During the tour of the villa, I was like ‘I recognise you’ but I can’t work it out and she was like ‘Do you remember the night?’ and I was like ‘Oh, yeah’.”
The pair then chat about the night at London bar Ballie Ballerson – which features an adult ‘ball pool’ like at a kids’ indoor play centre.
Uma says: “So, where do we know each other from? I’m pretty sure it was you but do you remember the Euros like four years ago at Ballie Ballerson.”
Ronnie says: “For the final? Yeah it was! Nothing happened though, did it?”
Uma says: “I don’t think so. I don’t know. I’m not sure if we kissed or not.”
Ronnie says: “Were you working?”
Uma says: “I was in the beginning.”
Ronnie says: “Yeah, we did!”
Love Island 2024 couples
The Islanders are all 'coupled up' in the villa.
The couples so far include:
- Mimii Ngulube and Munveer Jabbal.
- Nicole Samuel and Sean Stone.
- Jess White and Ronnie Vint.
- Patsy Field and Ayo Odukoya.
- Samantha Kenny and Joey Essex.
- Harriet Blackmore and Ciaran Davies.
The revelation will throw a spanner in the works for M&S worker Jess White, who has been growing close to Ronnie.
Until Uma’s arrival, they were enjoying being the strongest couple of the pack.
It comes after the stunning PrettyLittleThing model arrived with a bang on Wednesday night’s show, when she kissed all six boys – then led Ayo Odukoya, 25, to The Hideaway for a date.
Uma confidently walked in with Harriett, Samantha, Nicole, Patsy, Mimii and Jess watching on from the terrace.
The Islanders glammed up after Jess received a text which said: “Girls, it’s time for a game. Blindfold your boy. Line them up by the pool and then head to the terrace. #nopeeping”
The boys were blindfolded by their partners and then the girls headed up to the terrace.
The girls were left distracted when they heard some footsteps from beneath them – and realised that it is a new girl.
Uma headed over to the lads and gave them all a smooch right in front of their girls.
While Uma kissed Joey, Ayo said: “Those lips are juice.”
After kissing all of the boys, she picked Ayo and took him to the Hideaway.
When he took off his blindfold, he saw Uma and said: “Oh my goodness darling, you’re s****ing me,” as they walked off quietly together.
“Oh my word,” he added.
Ayo and Uma then headed off for some privacy.
His love interest Mimii didn’t look happy.
While walking into the villa, Uma said: “I’m Uma, I’m a VIP host and a model. I’m 23 and I’m from north London.
“I’m a fun bubbly person but I definitely have a flirtatious side.
“I’ve been single my whole life, I think it’s about time to find love.”
The newbie isn’t afraid to go for what she wants.
Uma has never had a boyfriend and is keen to find one in the villa.
Ahead of her stint on Love Island, Uma shared: “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.”
She said: “All of my friends like to say that I like to have fun and make everyone else to have fun too. I’ll bring a positive vibe and happiness.
“When people first see me, they usually think I’m going to be horrible, they are always surprised when I’m not!
“I’ll bring confidence, and I like to think I’m funny.
“I’m gonna be the funniest girl in the villa.”
