Love Island's Grace Jackson seen in pre-villa snaps without make-up years before show

As if Joey Essex hadn’t already had enough drama in the Love Island villa, more is set to come his way as another one of his exes is on her way to Casa Amor. Ever since Joey’s former flame Grace Jackson entered the villa, the two were inseparable, however, things all came to a blow when new bombshell Jessy Potts took the TOWIE star on a date, which well and truly turned his head. Grace, who had a fling with Joey while on holiday in Ibiza, was left fuming and things only got worse when she found out the two had a kiss on the terrace.

Love Island fans reckon they've sussed out the 'real reason' behind Jess White and Harriett Blackmore's villa rows. ITV2 viewers were glued to their screens as the pair had another spat on the popular dating show. Despite trying to resolve their issues, the two couldn't seem to make amends on the show on Friday night, 28 June, before Harriet was sent home with Ronnie.

Samantha Kenny opened up on how easy it is to put on weight in the Love Island villa, especially when you are not using the lavish gym that is built for the islanders. Speaking exclusively to OK!'s Love Island Dumping Debrief - our weekly video series where the 2024 cast unpack the latest drama from the series - the 25 year old shared that she managed to put on 10lbs during her two week stint on the show. “I put five kilos on,” she said.

They say the course of true love never runs smooth – and that's never more true than in the Love Island villa. With Joey Essex having split from Grace Jackson and coupled up with Jessy, there's drama ahead on Friday's episode. 28 June, when Joey makes Jessy a coffee and decides to make something for Grace, too.

Grace Jackson might be a Love Island bombshell - by outside of the villa it's more like The Apprentice, with the star running two businesses out of Manchester. The 25-year-old can comfortably put any suspicions that she’s chasing Joey Essex for fame and money to bed, given she is not only a model but is also a successful businesswoman. In fact, her firms keep her so busy she has said in the past her schedule is too packed for a relationship.

Love Island could be in for another explosive shake-up with the return of Casa Amor and the first girl heading into the villa has reportedly been revealed. But this isn't her first rodeo with reality TV. Boxing ring girl and model Emma Milton, according The Sun, is now on the search for romance, and the 29 year old has already appeared on screen.

Love Island viewers were quick to criticise Joey Essex's three-word reaction on Thursday night's episode when new bombshell Jessy Potts chose him during a surprise recoupling. Joey, 33, and his on-and-off flame Grace Jackson, 25, who are believed to have dated for about a year after meeting in Ibiza before heading into the villa, couldn't keep their hands off each other after reuniting earlier in the series, reigniting their romance.This reunion resulted in Joey's previous villa partner, Samantha Kenny, being harshly dumped from the show.

When Grace Jackson entered the Love Island villa, it looked like former TOWIE star Joey Essex couldn't be happier - but that all changed on Wednesday's episode of the ITV dating show. At the beginning of the series, it emerged that Joey had a holiday fling with newcomer Grace in 2023 but things soon fizzled out. However, when the blonde beauty entered the villa, the pair appeared to pick things up rather quickly and their relationship blossomed.

Love Island will not air at 9pm tonight in an extremely rare move - with viewers warned not to tune in at the usual time.The popular show was shunted out of the slot it has occupied on ITV2 for nearly a decade, with music comedy Pitch Perfect 3 showing in its place.Tonight's action from the villa will air at the later time of 10pm instead and end at 11.05pm.The culprit, as so often in TV schedule shake-ups is football, with England vs Slovenia's Euro 2024 game airing over on ITV1 from 6.45pm with kick-off live from Germany at 8pm.The move means that fans of both tournament football and Love Island will be able to watch both - and makes sure the dating show doesn't suffer a dip in ratings from viewers deciding to watch the Group C match instead. Other TV big-hitters affected tonight include Emmerdale, which will not air at all on Tuesday, and The One Show, which is on for just 20 minutes on BBC Two.
