This series will forever be known as the one when 12,500 bombshells invaded the Love Island villa throughout the OG's eight weeks in Majorca. Okay, that's an exaggeration, but Love Island 2024 producers unleashed A LOT of bombshells on that villa this summer (those holding villa expenses though).

One of those bombshells was Trey Norman.

Trey strutted into the villa alongside Jessy Potts (the now Mrs Joey Essex) and immediately whisked Jess White off on a romantic date (well, a romantic date a few feet away from Joey dressed as a mascot for Burger King - what we would give).

While Trey wasn't in the villa for a huge amount of time, he certainly made his mark. Since leaving the villa he has been living that influencer dream, while getting semi slated in the press by his Casa ex, Ellie Jackson.

What does Trey Norman do for a living?

After revealing that he worked as a Commercial Insurance Broker for a living, Jess – once again being all of us – asked what the heck that was and than enquired about whether he was a smart cookie.

And from what we can tell so far, Trey could be one of the smartest cookies in the Love Island biscuit tin. Sorry, Mehdi.

Prior to entering the villa, Trey told producers, "Something that a lot of women like that they wouldn't expect from me but I’m a bit of a geek and academic.

"I’ve got a First Class Economics Degree and have completed my masters as well. I also play chess and was in the chess club at University."

He can, of course, now add reality star and influencer to his CV.

Who did Trey Norman couple up with on Love Island 2024?

Upon entering the villa, he took Jess on a date, and the following day he was given the chance to steal a girl – he chose our Jess. Then, during Casa Amor week he met Ellie, and brought her back to the main villa. Jess did not care.

What happened with Trey Norman and Ellie Jackson?

The Islanders met during Casa Amor week and there was an obvious spark from the get go. When Trey took her back to the main villa, the cracks started to show; things didn't get off to the best start when they had a huge row the next day. Although they made up, the couple were dumped during the Love Island Film Festival and Ellie has now confirmed they're no longer an item after he was spotted with another woman.

Soon after, Ellie opened up about the REAL Trey.

She told The Sun, "I find it hard to fake a relationship and fake liking someone just for the sake of publicity and and stuff like that. If I want to find someone, I want it to be because I actually have a good connection with them and we get on.

"He just wants to be famous. He doesn't want to dwindle out of the spotlight. He literally wants to be famous and be on All Stars.

"That's why he wanted our relationship to kind of carry on because he wanted it to be a bigger thing, so it would be more of a scandal when he goes in All Stars. But I tell you what, I could not put up to that for another couple of months. I would have gone insane."

Woah. Shots fired.

Does Trey Norman have Instagram?

He sure does. You can follow him at @treynorman0311.
