If we’re talking about this year’s Love Island (and what else is there to talk about tbh?) then we have to talk about bombshell Uma Jammeh.

She had to snog SIX boys just seconds after strutting into the Love Island 2024 villa and that pretty much set the tone for how iconic she was going to be for the rest of the series.

Her relationship with Wil Anderson was full of highs and lows and their villa journey ended dramatically when she quit the villa mere moments after he was dumped.

Now that Love Island is over for another summer, here’s everything you need to know about Uma…

What is Uma Jammeh's job?

She's worked as a VIP host at Ballie Ballerson and a model for PrettyLittleThing before rising to fame and we have a feeling the modelling jobs are just going to keep rolling in post-villa.

How does Uma Jammeh know Ronnie Vint?

Shortly after she entered the villa and had to kiss all the boys, it quickly came to light that Uma had already snogged Ronnie [Vint] a few years ago when they met on a night out in London. Despite their history, Uma and Ronnie didn't spark a connection in the villa and just remained friends.

Who was Uma Jammeh coupled up with in the Love Island villa?

Uma started her Love Island journey by coupling up with Ayo Odukoya, sparking a love triangle with Mimii Ngulube. That didn't work out and she recoupled with Omar Nyame, but they struggled to make it out of the friend zone.

Uma then coupled up with bombshell Wil when he entered the villa and despite his, erm, indiscretions in Casa Amor, they stayed together until he was dumped on day 37 when Reuben Collins chose to steal Uma. Not willing to be without her bae in the villa, Uma decided to quite and she and Wil left together.

Are Uma Jammeh and Wil Anderson still together?

Uma and Wil are still very much together, in fact they're looking more loved-up than ever. Wil asked Uma to be his girlfriend shortly after they left the villa and she, of course, accepted. They've even talked about moving in together.

Is Uma Jammeh friends with Samie Elishi?

Yep, Uma is close pals with Winter Love Island 2023 star Samie Elishi, who seemingly confirmed Uma would be entering the villa on Snapchat BEFORE it was announced by ITV. Awkward...

When one of her followers asked if she’s going back into the villa, Samie replied, “Deffo not this! Hahaha but one of my friends is going on this year.”

She added, “Super F**KIN excited for her!!!!”
