Love Island bosses this series has sent in so many bombshells we've honestly lost count.

We shouldn't be surprised tbh, series 12 started with Sophie Lee being dumped after 24 hours in the villa and soon after, Blu Chegini was sent packing too.

One bombshell who was in the villa for two weeks but still managed to make his mark was Remell Mullins who already had 400k TikTok followers, 196k Instagram followers and 46k YouTube subscribers before he even stepped foot in the villa.

Slaaaay hun.

He caused quite the stir in the villa, so here's what you need to know about him...

Who did Remell Mullins couple up with?

During his two week stint, Remell only coupled up with Alima Gagigo but that doesn't mean his head wasn't turned.

What happened when Remell Mullins was in the villa?

Remell walked into the villa on day three alongside Shea Mannings and he quickly managed to catch Alima's attention. All seemed well between them until Remell was picked to go to the VIP Sleepover where he met, snogged and shared a bed with Poppy Harrison.

It all kicked off when Remell returned, especially after Helena Ford admitted she was surprised Remell didn't recouple with the bombshell.

After Alima admitted she was 'done' with their relationship, Remell bizarrely backtracked and said he regretted not recoupling with Poppy... Savage.

Shortly after, viewers got the chance to vote for their favourite girl and fave boy and poor Remell received the fewest votes (alongside Megan Forte-Clarke) and was dumped from the villa.

Why did Remell Mullins have so many followers before Love Island?

Now if you're just as confused as we were when we found out how many followers Remell had pre-villa, it's because of his job as a self improvement content creator.

If you have a scroll on his socials you'll see that his brand pretty much is 'how to get ripped in the gym' and after seeing him in the villa, we'd believe anything he said about working out.

What does Remell Mullins do for work?

Who is Remell Mullins' type?

Before heading into the villa, Remell told producers, '[I'd like to couple up with] a bubbly, confident, ambitious and fun girl.

'One feature that stands out to me is a nice smile, nice teeth and someone that can keep me on my toes.'

'Not having any ambition or goals,' he admitted before walking in as a bombshell.

'If I can’t talk to a woman and pick her brain, have some discussion, that’s a huge turn off for me as where are we going to be going?'
