The new series of Love Island has come to an end and it was a wild one.

For starters, having TOWIE star Joey Essex as the first bombshell to enter the Love Island 2024 villa was a game changer. Joey caused drama after drama during his stint on the dating show and he was not alone.

Another bombshell who caused hella trouble was Northern lad, Wil Anderson.

Wil and Uma stayed together for the next recoupling but when Casa Amor hit Wil's eyes began to wonder and he shared a kiss with Casa girlie, Lucy Graybill before deciding to stick with Uma.

Uma was heartbroken upon hearing the news and Wil only rubbed salt in the wound during The Grafties when she asked why he did it and he simply replied, "Because I wanted to."

Ouch.

Wil ended up being dumped a few days later and Uma decided to leave with him, sending shockwaves through villa.
