For every Love Island success story, there’s at least double that when it comes to Islanders who didn’t really get a fair shot at love on the show and one recent example – if you ask us, at least – is Munveer Jabbal.
The former tech recruiter was a Love Island 2024 OG, entering the villa alongside the likes of Ciaran Davies and Harriett Blackmore on day one, but despite being coupled up with Mimii Tafara and Patsy Field, he never really managed to spark much of a romantic connection and was dumped on day 10.
Fast forward to the present day, however, and Munveer is very much loved up after going public with his new girlfriend.
Munveer first teased his relationship last week when he shared a picture of himself holding hands with a mystery woman and now he’s gone one further by showing us all his other half’s face.
The reality star, who launched his own brand of salsa after leaving the villa, took to Instagram to show off a series of snaps from a recent date night at Richmond restaurant Scott’s, including one of the loved up new couple posing outside.
Although he still hasn’t let slip the identity of his girlfriend, Munveer’s followers took to the comments section to congratulate him on finding love.
Sam Taylor wrote, ‘Punching a bit lad but it’s ok ❤️,’ while Reuben Collins remarked, ‘OMG the hard launch!!!! It’s official ladies and gents 🤩🤩🤩.’
Another of Munveer’s followers commented, ‘I love how the Islanders are finding love outside the villa,’ with another writing, ‘I mean I’m devastated but my good she is absolutely beautiful 😍 love this!!’
Munveer is the latest 2024 Islander to debut a new romance after the show after Matilda Draper confirmed she was dating TOWIE star Roman Hackett following her split from Sean Stone.
Meanwhile, Jess Spencer has just hard launched her relationship with Roman’s cousin Braydon Hackett after confirming her break up with Ayo Odukoya.
