Love Island’s Grace Jackson already has secret connection to SECOND villa boy after Joey Essex romance revealed
LOVE Island newbie Grace Jackson is set to shock TWO guys when she is seen entering the villa tonight.
Grace, 25, is one of three new bombshells who have been dropped into the show to cause chaos – and she also happens to be Joey Essex‘s ex.
But Joey isn’t the only boy in the villa Grace has been linked to.
The Sun can reveal that Grace, who is a model, has previously caught the eye of current islander Ronnie Vint.
Last summer, Ronnie – who is now coupled up with Harriett Blackmore in the villa – was quick to show his appreciation with a thumbs up after Grace posed in a bikini.
The influencer had stripped down to the skimpy multi-coloured two-piece while posing on holiday in Marbella, Spain.
With her long blonde hair styled in beachy waves, Grace captioned her shot: “With power.”
In a teaser for tonight’s episode of Love Island, Grace was seen walking into the villa alongside two other newbies.
Hunky Wil Anderson – the brother of Newcastle United midfielder Elliot Anderson – is also set to rock the show along with stunning Tiffany Leighton.
Although Ronnie wasn’t shown in the clip, Joey could be seen gasping with shock as he spotted Grace among the bombshells.
According to reports, Joey dated Grace for six weeks before their romance ended badly earlier this year.
MailOnline claims Grace is entering the villa in an attempt to get answers from Joey about why their relationship hit the skids.
A source told the publication: “Grace was less than impressed by the way their relationship ended.
“There’s definitely some unfinished business between them and she isn’t going to hold back in expressing how she feels in the villa.”
Grace, meanwhile, said before her big surprise entrance: “No guys have good communication and it’s painful.
“I like someone who doesn’t take themselves and life too seriously.
Love Island 2024 couples
The Islanders are all 'coupled up' in the villa.
The couples so far include:
- Mimii Ngulube and Ayo Odukoya.
- Harriet Blackmore and Sean Stone.
- Jess White and Ronnie Vint.
- Uma Jammeh and Omar Nyame.
- Samantha Kenny and Joey Essex.
- Nicole Samuel and Ciaran Davies.
“My lifestyle can put guys off a little bit, I like to go out and go abroad a lot.
“They can’t keep up with my lifestyle. It’s the life that I want, and it helps with my business.”
The 25-year-old model’s arrival will also rock Joey’s blossoming romance with fellow islander Samantha Kenny.
The pair have only just experienced their first date outside of the villa and seem to be making a go of things.
Fans, however, are unsure about make-up artist Samantha’s intentions after she confessed to being a ‘Towie super-fan’.
