This year’s Love Island is the gift that keeps on giving, isn’t it? From Joey Essex's love triangle with Grace Jackson and Jessy Potts to the on/off beef between frenemies Harriett Blackmore and Jess White, there’s been drama after drama.

But we have a feeling that Love Island 2024 is only going to get more explosive as Casa Amor is reportedly right around the corner and, frankly, BRING IT ON.

Ahead of the messy twist, the first bombshell entering the villa to try and turn heads has seemingly been revealed and she’s got a very famous ex.

According to reports, 29-year-old model and influencer Emma Milton has packed her bags and jetted out to Mallorca for Casa Amor.

Emma was previously linked to England footballer Jack Grealish after they were spotted on a night out together in 2021 and she’s also dated another footballer, Nathan Redmond.

It’s also claimed that Emma has history with TOWIE icon turned 2024 Islander Joey after they met in Dubai last year.

“Emma has moved in celebrity circles for years now, has a lot of friends in the industry and through showbiz parties,” a source said.

“She met Jack on the Manchester party scene. She and the models for Boohoo are all based up there and are regularly out with the City and United teams.”

They told The Sun, “She has dated a number of high-profile men and the attention, like she experienced after being with Jack, doesn’t phase her.”

Emma is no stranger to reality TV, having appeared on E4’s Shipwrecked: Battle of the Islands in 2019.

The exact start date of Casa Amor is yet to be revealed, however fans have been speculating the Islanders could be separated this weekend as it usually takes place around the halfway point of the series.

It’s already been teased that some of the current Islanders’ exes could show up, so it’s probably all going to kick off.
