Although she's now gone, Yewande will go down in Love Island history with her sass. Here's everything you need to know about here

When did Yewande Biala get dumped from Love Island?

Poor old Yewande was dumped from the villa during one of the most tense recouplings of the 2019 series. After Anton Danyluk chose to couple up in a friendship with Lucie Donlan, Danny Williams had to decide between Yewande, and new girl Arabella Chi.

After a tough decision, Danny chose Arabella, sending Yewande packing.

Who is Yewande Biala?

Yewande Biala is a scientist, and was a contestant on the 2019 series of Love Island. When explaining what made her the perfect Islander, Yewande said, "I’m a scientist, which is a unique job. I think people may be surprised. Every time I say that I’m a scientist, people are shocked.

"I think there are loads of intelligent people on reality television, last year we had Dr Alex and the year before we had Camilla Thurlow in the villa."

Of her looks, Yewande said, "I would give myself a 6.5 to a 7. I always get complimented on my smile."

What does Yewande think about Danny and Arabella?

When asked if she thinks Danny and Arabella's romance will last, Yewande said "Maybe. A bombshell coming in, it’s very hard and it’s difficult to know their intentions. I hate it when a bombshell comes in saying ‘I want to get to know everyone’, because that is a lie.

"You know who you’re going for. She knew she wanted Danny. I feel like if he does get to know her, it’s not going to work. There are so many factors – they’re so different, and the age gap. You have to be realistic. He’s just starting his life – he’s only 21. They are in two different phases of their lives. In the villa, it’s very easy to forget.

Who does Yewande Biala want to win Love Island 2019?

Following her exit from the show, Yewande revealed she thinks Amber and Michael could go all the way to the final She said, "Michael and Amber. I love the way it started because the minute I walked in and coupled up with Michael, he said ‘there’s something about Amber that I love so much.’ I was friends with Amber and she was like ‘he’s not my type.’

"Gradually you could see her getting nervous around him. The way it’s developed is so organic, which is the way it normally happens on the outside. It’s so magical to watch it happen.

How old is Yewande Biala?

She's 23.

Where is Yewande Biala from?

She's from Dublin in Ireland.

What's Yewande Biala type on paper?

Yewande explained in her pre-show interview, "Someone that I can hold a normal conversation with. Someone that has good banter and someone that is easy to get along with and honest. Looks-wise, I like them to be tall and athletic." She also revealed boxer Anthony Joshua to be her celebrity crush, and her turn-off: "Arrogance. I hate it."

And does she believe there's a science to finding love? "I don’t think there is a science to finding love and if there is then I have clearly been reading the wrong books."

Has Yewande Biala ever cheated?

She said, "I don’t think I have a wandering eye, I’m very loyal. I’ve never cheated on anyone but I’ve been cheated on multiple times. I feel like I am less trusting as a result of that. I think I’ll definitely have my guard up."

What will Yewande Biala be like in the villa?

Describing her three best and worst personality traits, Yewande said, "I am easy to get along with, I’m funny and caring. But I talk too much, I never stop talking and it gets me in trouble sometimes. I’m a tad dramatic and I can be lazy."

She also revealed how far she'd go in the villa to get the guy she wants, "I am a terrible flirt but I’m such a girly girl and I can’t imagine stealing someone’s man in there. I don’t think I’d be that type but never say never."

And what about girl code? "Not stealing someone’s boyfriend or someone’s man. I would expect someone to talk to me if they fancied the guy I was coupled up with. At least have the decency to come and speak to me about it."

The bedrooms are looking super summery


Some fancy drawers


Looks lemony in there


More fancy drawers


Nice hearts on the wall



Well, hopefully they don't need Tinder in the villa...


Who doesn't love a wall heart?





Are these speakers? Mic packs? We’re not sure, tbh


Everyone should have a globe in their homes


We'd LOVE a wall sofa complete with a lit Lit sign


It's so lit it's LIT


Look at those matching cushions


Get us in that jacuzzi



What a GLORIOUS bed


Descend the stairs like a QWEEN



A serious must-have for any home


And this



Love a bit of communal pampering


They've got all the bits in there



The white sofa RETURNS



Aaand the most important part of the villa... The beach hut



Considering the buff bods that are going in the villa, a gym is a proper necessity




Matching bean bags and cushions, what style



Why NOT sleep outside, eh?


The bar looks incredible






The infamous FIRE PITS
