Although there's only a few weeks left of this year's Love Island, there's certainly no sign of the drama slowing down, with Islanders like Joey Essex, Grace Jackson, Ayo Odukoya and Mimii Ngulube still keeping us all entertained.

And whilst the drama from Snog, Marry, Pie continues on tonight's episode (Tuesday 16th July), there's also a guest appearance from a very famous VIP!

With Hip-Hop legend Eve already gracing the villa, tonight its the turn of British artist Jess Glynne, who pops by as the Islanders enjoy an exclusive Summer of Vibe party.

The Islanders are woken up to an unexpected text which reads: 'Islanders, it’s time for you to get ready and leave the Villa as you’re off to an exclusive party #SummerOfVibe #VIPsOnly'.

Heading out of the villa to the exclusive pool party at the Love Island Beach Club, the Islanders are greeted by Jess, as she performs some of her biggest hits, as well as her brand new single 'Summer's back'.

Revealing she's a huge fan of the show, Jess tells the Islanders: “I’ve been watching the show and I’m actually invested!’”

Check out which other famous faces have entered the villa:

Stormzy

Remember when Stormzy called out Olivia Attwood on Twitter for the way she treated Chris Hughes? Well, they came face-to-face when the rapper was beamed into the villa for a video call with the contestants. Viewers were loving it and hailed the incredible moment as "the best TV ever".

Tom Zanetti

Before he was known as a reality TV personality in his own right, DJ and producer Tom Zanetti entered the villa in series four to spin some tunes at the Islanders' Ministry of Sound party. It was here that he first met Hayley Hughes, who he later dated after she left the show.

Craig David

Craig David accidentally provided one of the most iconic Love Island moments of all time when he brought Anton Danyluk to tears by entering the villa to belt out some of his greatest hits.

Mark Wright

Way back when Love Island began in 2015, Mark Wright entered the villa in one of the series' most shocking moments. No, he wasn't looking for love - he's happily married to Michelle Keegan, of course. He appeared on the show to DJ for contestant Lauren Richardson's 27th birthday.

Danny Dyer

Love Island viewers were left devastated when Dani Dyer's dad Danny didn't enter the villa for the Meet The Parents day. However, he did still manage to give Jack Fincham a grilling when he appeared via video call.

Sean Paul

Ah, when Sean Paul met Shaughna Phillips. Yep, the legendary singer jetted to South Africa especially to perform at a Spotify party in the villa on the ITV2 dating show's first ever winter edition.

Mabel

From one pop superstar to another, Mabel entered the villa during the 2021 series to perform her hits 'Let Them Know' and 'Don't Call Me Up'.

Becky Hill

Keeping up the trend, singer/songwriter Becky Hill popped into the villa during the 2022 series, performing some of her biggest hits to cheer the Islanders up following Jacques' shock exit.

2022: Joel Corry appeared on Love Island

Becky wasn't the only famous face to appear in the 2022 series. DJ Joel Corry surprised Islanders with a set during the VIBE party.

Alfie Boe

English tenor Alfie Boe made a shock appearance during Ekin-Su and Davide's epic final date in 2022, serenading the pair with his lovely vocals.

Jax Jones and Calum Scott

Jax Jones flew over to South Africa in February 2023 to put on a show for the Winter Love Island gang. He was even joined by singer-songwriter Calum Scott, as the pair performed their new single 'Whistle'.

Ne-Yo

International superstar Ne-Yo dropped into the villa during series 10, which took part in the Summer of 2023. The singer performed some of his biggest hits for the Islanders.

Rita Ora

Pop star Rita Ora performed at the annual beach club party during the 2023 Summer series. Rita performed her single 'Praising You' from her third studio album 'You & I'.

Craig David and Wes Nelson

During the All Stars series in 2024, Craig David made a return to surprise super fan Anton Danyluk. He was also joined by former Islander Wes Nelson, with the pair performing their epic single 'Abracadabra'.

Ella Henderson

Ella Henderson rocked up to the Love Island: All Stars villa to perform her tracks 'Alibi', 'React' and 'Ghost' ahead of the final! Taking to Instagram after the show, Ella expressed her love, writing: 'Love Island Babyyyyyyyyyy!!!!! Living my best slow mo life 😂 … What a blast to head into the @loveisland villa xx. E x #LoveIsland #AllStars' (sic)

Eve

Hip-Hop superstar Eve entered the villa during the 2024 series in June, performing some of her biggest hits including 'Who's That Girl?'.

Jess Glynne

Pop star Jess Glynne popped by to perform some of her biggest hits for the Islanders during the annual Beach Club party! Admitting she's a huge fan of the show, Jess told the Islanders: "I've been watching the show and I'm actually invested!'"

As fans will know, when the Islanders head off to the Beach Club, host Maya Jama isn't usually far behind them, and this series is no different!

Maya will make a dramatic entrance on tonight's show to interrupt the party, revealing one couple will be dumped following a public vote.

She tells them: “Islanders, sorry to interrupt your little shindig, the party is over…can you please all line up in front of the pool. The public have been voting for the most compatible couple…”

Who will it be?

Love Island continues every night at 9pm on ITV2/STV2.
