Sorry, but how did series icon Grace Jackson not make it to the Love Island 2024 final? She was giving main character energy from the micro-second she slow-mo walked into the Love Island 2024 villa and knocked Joey Essex off his feet.

And don't get us started on the brutal way she was booted from the villa just short of the final. Okay, fine...

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.

That relationships is in the past now, which, of course, means that Grace's name is one of the BIG ones rumoured for the second series of All Stars in January 2025.

What is Grace Jackson's job?

Grace is a model signed to agency MM Models and she also owns a marketing company called Social Clubhouse. She's been on Love Island now, so she can now add influencer and reality star to her CV.

Is Grace Jackson going on Love Island: All Stars?

Social media and Reddit sure seem to think so, and let's be honest, if you were a Love Island producer, wouldn't you have given Grace a call by now? But here's the spanner in the works...

We're not getting our hopes up on a Love Island return as according to recent reports, Grace is now seeing Manchester United player Marcus Rashford - which is obv a big no no for any All Star waiting in the wings.

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.
