But do not fear, as Mimii aka the nation's most stylish sweetheart was soon swept off her feet by bombshell Josh Oyinsan.

It has been far from smooth-sailing for Mimii in the villa but then again what else did we expect from the dating show?

In her free time, Mimii also acts, and played the role of Marty in a local production of hit musical Grease which makes sense as she nailed the Love Island talent show when she did a little sing song.

What happened between Mimii Ngulube and Ayo Odukoya?

Mimii was in a couple with Munveer Jabbal before being left single during a recoupling, however new boy Omar Nyame rocked up and decided to take Mimii on a date. But it was OG boy Ayo Odukoya who Mimii had her eye on, despite him being in a couple with Uma Jammeh.

Mimii decided to 'steal' Ayo and although bombshell Konnor Ewudzi took Mimii on a date as soon as he arrived in the villa, she stuck with Ayo before Casa Amor hit and chaos unfolded.

Mimii was as loyal as Georgie Steel during Casa week but the same could not be said for Ayo who fell for newbie Jess Spencer.

Mimii returned to the main villa alone and was left stranded at the fire pit.

Who did Mimii Ngulube couple up with on Love Island?

She was first matched with Munveer before moving onto Ayo. Mimii went on a few dates including one with Konnor and a joint date alongside Uma, Jessy Potts where they met newbies Reuben Collins and Josh.

Mimii and Josh hit it off and decided to couple up at the next opportunity. Despite some MAJOR interference from Joey and his right hand man Sean Stone who think there is unfinished business between Mimii and Ayo, her and Josh are still going strong.

You can find Mimii on Instagram at @mimiitafara, where she currently has 302K followers. However, she won’t be posting during the series, as the show has reintroduced its social media ban preventing friends and family from monitoring accounts while an Islander is on the show.

WATCH: Is Joey purposefully stirring up drama in the villa?

Emily Vierke is a digital writer who has dabbled in the world of celeb, beauty and fashion. She enjoys stalking the Love Island girlies for outfit inspo nearly as much as she enjoys rewatching the clip of Maura Higgins confronting Tom Walker for gossiping about her to the Love Island lads.
