The third bombshell to enter the Love Island 2024 villa was Omar Nyame, and thank the reality telly fates he did because just as we all thought Queen Mimii Ngulube was at risk of being dumped following another brutal recoupling, he swooped in and took her on a life-changing date.

If that hadn't have happened, our Mimii might not have gone on to win the blooming thing with Josh Oyinsan weeks later.

As thankful as we are for Omar swooping in to momentarily swoon Mimii, sadly, Omar did not find love himself in the Love Island 2024 villa, but he did find confrontation in the form of Joey Essex (over Grace Jackson) and Sean Stone (over Matilda Draper)...

And our eternal love, for what it's worth.

What happened with Omar Nyame and Sean Stone?

The two Islanders clashed over their pursuit of Matilda Draper, with Sean going as far as to encourage other Islanders to dump Omar during a tense fire pit moment.

What happened with Omar Nyame and Joey Essex?

Omar clashed with the TOWIE star over bombshell Grace Jackson.

Joey pulled Omar for a chat and things got very heated. In a later row, Joey referred to Omar as "a snake".
