Let's be honest, some of the best Love Island contestants are the bombshells that strut into the villa and series 11 was no different.

Joey Essex caused absolute mayhem, Grace Jackson quickly turned heads and shortly after arriving, Uma Jammeh was snogging all the boys.

She had an interesting journey in the villa and it was cut short (we're still gutted about it), so here's your need to know on the absolute babe Uma...

Who was Uma Jammeh coupled up with?

Heading into the villa Uma took an interest in Ayo Odukoya and it wasn't long before they were involved in a love triangle with Mimii Ngulube.

Uma and Ayo recoupled but after she discovered he secretly snogged Mimii on the terrace she was done and moved onto bombshell Omar Nyame.

Her head was then turned by Wil Anderson and they remained together until the end.

Uma and Wil seemed totally loved up until Casa Amor when he was kissing bombshell Lucy Graybill. It wasn't long before the truth came out and Uma was devastated.

To make matters worse Movie Night arrived and so did bombshell Reuben Collins. It was after Reuben recoupled with Uma, that Wil was single and therefore dumped from the villa. It was also at this point that Uma quit the villa for him.

Are Uma Jammeh and Wil Anderson still together?

They sure are. In fact, shortly after returning to the UK, Wil asked Uma to be his girlfriend and she said yes.

Why did Uma Jammeh go on Love Island?

Ahead of her stint she said, "Now is a good time for me, I’m young. I’ve been single for my whole life, it’s about time I’m not single anymore. I’m ready for a boyfriend!

And when asked which three celebs would she take into the villa she said, "Theo James, I literally love him. Him, him and him!

"Probably the F1 driver Lando Norris, I like his personality, he’s really cheeky and funny. And then Keith Lemon - someone who can make me laugh!"

After hearing what she told producers, she sounds like an absolute hoot.

"All of my friends like to say that I like to have fun and make everyone else have fun too. I’ll bring a positive vibe and happiness," she admitted.

"When people first see me, they usually think I’m going to be horrible, they are always surprised when I’m not! I’ll bring confidence, and I like to think I’m funny."

She then added, "I’m gonna be the funniest girl in the villa!"
