With less than a week to go until the Love Island final and six couples still remaining in the villa, we expected one or two dumpings to happen but we certainly didn’t expect Grace Jackson and Reuben Collins to be given the boot in the brutal way that they were.
ICYMI, Grace and Reuben were voted as the couple least likely to work in the outside world by the public in the A Couple of Sorts challenge and as a result they were immediately dumped from the villa, much to the shock of the other Islanders and us at home.
Grace was one of the first names linked to Love Island 2024 and she entered the villa as a bombshell earlier this summer before rekindling her romance with Joey Essex. As we know, things didn’t work out between them and Grace found herself coupled up with five boys including Konnor Ewudzi and Blade Siddiqi.
Following her savage dumping, here’s everything you need to know about Grace including her history with Joey, her age and her Instagram – because you’ll definitely want to follow her now she’s out of the villa.

Which Love Island stars did Grace Jackson know before the villa?
Prior to entering the villa, Grace already had almost 80,000 followers on Instagram. She knew quite a few Islanders, too – including All Stars contestants Joshua Ritchie and Joanna Chimonides who both follow her on Instagram.
Grace also counts Molly-Mae Hague, Davide Sanclimenti and Mary Bedford among her followers, as well as Essex heartthrobs Pete Wicks and, of course, Joey.
Who was Grace coupled up with in the Love Island villa?
Grace found herself in six couples while she was in the villa. She entered as a bombshell on day 12 and also immediately rekindled things with Joey, who she'd previously dated in the outside world. Bombshell boy Konnor stole Grace from Joey on day 22, but she was still interested in the former TOWIE star. However, their romance fizzled out when Jessy Potts came in and turned Joey's head and Grace never quite managed to spark a romantic connection with Konnor.
When Casa Amor rolled out, Grace found herself in a love triangle with Blade and Moziah but she ultimately chose to bring Blade back to the main villa. Her blossoming romance with Blade didn't go anywhere, however, and she called things off shortly before he was dumped from the show.
Bombshell boys Josh Oyinsan and Reuben entered the villa on day 36 and although she and Josh were attracted to one another, he picked Mimii Ngulube at the recoupling. Reuben initially chose to couple up with Uma Jammeh, but she quit the villa when Wil Anderson was dumped which opened the door for Reuben to get to know Grace.
Reuben and Grace eventually coupled up but producers threw a spanner in the works when the last boy bombshell, Harry Baker, entered the villa and made a beeline for Grace. Harry stole Grace, but their relationship never really got off the ground and she and Reuben ended up back together.
How does Grace Jackson know Joey Essex?
Grace and Joey dated last summer after meeting in Ibiza but their holiday romance quickly fizzled out. However, the pair had been in contact earlier this year after Joey messaged Grace.
