Joey Essex's ex hints she's heading into Love Island villa 👀

He's getting a lot of attention in the villa!

Author: Alex RossPublished 6th Jun 2024

We may only be a few days into the brand new series of Love Island, but there's already been two bombshells, a shock exit and some early jealously from the girls.

After fans were left with open-mouths when Joey Essex entered the villa as the first ever celebrity bombshell, 23-year-old Uma Jammeh entered on last night's show (5th June), and it looks like she could have some history with Ayo Odukoya.

And whilst the show won't want to become Ex On The Beach, Joey's ex-girlfriend Sabreena Diamond has hinted she could be on her way to the villa to surprise the former TOWIE star...

After watching his shock entrance with the rest of us during Monday night's launch show, Sabreena uploaded a TikTok with the words: 'When your ex walks into the Love Island villa as a bombshell...'

With fans egging her on to enter, Sabreena then replied: 'On my way', before replying to another request saying: 'I'm in the gym training for it rn'. (sic)

Although Joey and Sabreena never went fully official with their relationship, rumours were rife around 2018 that the pair were dating.

Of course, there's been no official word if Sabreena is actually heading over to Mallorca to take part in the show, with bosses keeping tight-lipped about this year's bombshells.

After brutally sending Sam home, Joey is currently coupled up with Scouser Samantha, but he's also got an admirer in Harriett, who is coupled up with Ciaran.

On last night's show, after Ciaran took Nicole to the Hideaway for a chat, Harriett got jealous, admitting to Samantha that she was going to ask Joey into the Hideaway to give Ciaran a 'taste of his own medicine'.

Speaking to Samantha, Harriett said: “I just wanted to pull you before. I’m going to pull him Joey but I don’t want you to think anything. I’m going to go to the Hideaway because I think Ciaran needs a taste of his own medicine.”

Harriett then pulled Joey for a chat and the pair headed off to the Hideaway, much to the annoyance of Samantha.

Love Island continues every night at 9pm on ITV1/STV1.
