The Love Island: All Stars 2025 villa really is just a swanky venue for a Love Island 2024 reunion, isn't it? Now that Omar Nyame has sauntered into the South African villa, we have FOUR 2024 Islanders currently taking part in the second series of All Stars – Omar, Ronnie Vint, Grace Jackson and Harriett Blackmore. We're not complaining btw – we're patiently awaiting Samantha Kenny and Sam Taylor's arrival now.

Omar entered the All Stars villa on day 19 and immediately whisked Grace and Catherine Agbaje away on cute lunch dates. As things stand, he's currently getting to know Catherine and things have been getting spicy between the pair ever since the heart rate challenge, erm, broke the ice.

How old is Love Island's Omar Nyame?

He is 26 years old. He was born on 2 September 1998.

Where is Love Island's Omar Nyame from?

Omar is from Croydon in South London.

What did Love Island's Omar Nyame do for a living before Love Island?

He was a PE teacher. We're guessing he isn't anymore as he's casually chilling around a South African mansion in term time at the moment.

What happened to Omar Nyame on Love Island 2024?

Omar was the third bombshell to enter the Love Island 2024 villa, and thank the reality telly fates he did because just as we all thought Queen Mimii Tafara 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 to Omar for that, sadly, the bombshell did not find love in the villa, but he did find confrontation in the form of Joey Essex (over Grace) and Sean Stone (over Matilda Draper)...

Following his date with Mimii, Omar started to get to know bombshell Uma Jammeh, too. Omar and Uma coupled up on day eight.

After that relationship fizzled out, he chose to couple up with Jess White. Omar then caught the attention of bombshell Matilda, who chose him for a date. He remained coupled up with Jess until he was dumped on day 21.

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.

When Omar and Jess were vulnerable their fellow villa mates had to pick which Islanders they wanted to send packing. Unfortunately for Omar, Sean was part of the 'safe couple' group...

Omar returned to the villa on day 55 ahead of the final alongside several ex-Islanders to decide which couple would be dumped. While he voted for Sean and Matilda, they made it to the final finishing in fourth place.

What happened with Omar Nyame and Joey Essex?

Omar clashed with the TOWIE star over bombshell Grace. Grace revealed to Joey – who she was coupled up with at the time – that Omar had been 'flirting' with her and this did not go down well Mr Essex. Joey pulled Omar for a chat and things got very heated. In a later row, Joey referred to Omar as 'a snake.'

Did Omar Nyame already know Maya Jama before Love Island?

Omar is good friends with Stormzy – who at the time of Omar being dropped into the Love Island villa, was dating the Love Island host and even attended his 30th birthday last year, according to The Mirror.

He also went to watch his pal perform at Glastonbury last year and still has the Instagram pics on his grid to prove it.

Maya and Stormzy announced their split towards the end of Love Island 2024.
