Remember when we first met Love Island bombshell 'I can be a baddie and a lady' Whitney Adebayo? We've been holding so much space for her from the moment she slow-mo strutted her way on to the show and whisked André Furtado away for a date almost two years ago.
From the moment she graced our screens, we knew we were going to learn some life lessons from this queen; from dating confidence to throwing shade and from slinging one-liners to reminding us all to listen to our tattoos, Whitney had all of our backs.
The Love Island 2023 finalist was nothing short of telly gold, so much so that we're betting Love Island producers are secretly kicking themselves over the fact that Whitney and her Love Island hunk Lochan Nowacki are still together, because let's be real, she would slay All Stars.
That's not on the cards, however, but thankfully, Netflix has recognised Whitney as the silver screen queen she is and have cast her in a new reality show that is PERFECT for her.
Back in December 2024, we heard whisperings that Whit had just finished filming the second series of Inside, a reality competition hosted by The Sidemen, involving reality icons, internet personalities and influencers all living in a house together. Think Big Brother for Gen Zs.
And now it's been officially confirmed – there's artwork and everything.
Late last year, a source told The Sun, 'Whitney was thrilled to land a Netflix show.
'It's a really big deal - especially as it's 18 months since she was on Love Island.'
They continued, 'It's a testament to her big personality and on-screen charisma that she made the cut.'
Whitney is taking part in the second series of Inside, the first series of which debuted on YouTube over the summer, but Whitney's series will stream on Netflix on 17 March.
The second series will see 12 new content creators competing over seven episodes and it turns out Whitney is not the only competitor with ties to Love Island...
None other than Love Island 2019 legend Anna Vakili's sister Mandi (they host the podcast Sisters in the City together) will be appearing on Inside alongside Whitney – and just like that we have our front runners.
Whitney and Mandi will reportedly star alongside streamer and YouTuber Cinna, model Mya Mills, influencer Farah Shams, TikToker Milli Jo Mcloughlin, content creator Dylan Page, streamer Jason Nguyen (confirmed), entrepreneur and former footballer Patrice Evra, podcaster George Clarke (confirmed), YouTuber and rapper DDG and presenter PK Humble.
And if we've got any of those professions wrong, don't come for us – we used to pay in cash and vote for our X Factor faves on a landline.
