But it has been reported that prior to joining the sun-soaked show – she was left heartbroken after her beloved dog passed away.
The Sun reports that Jess took to her Facebook to share her sadness at loosing her canine companion.
Alongside a heartbreaking caption, she is said to have posted several adorable photos of the pooch.
She captioned the post: “My beautiful baby, you won’t be in pain no more.”
It comes after it was reported Jess is already in a relationship, according to her Facebook profile.
According to her profile, Jess has been in a relationship since March 1, 2020, reports OK! magazine.
However she said before entering the villa as one of this year’s OGs that she was hoping to find the man of her dreams, and she’d been single for two years.
But any guy hoping to woo her will have to remember her list of icks – because she has a few.
She said: “When a guy stunts for money, that’s an ick. Showing off all their designer clothes because most of the time they’re probably fake anyway!”
Jess went on: “Another one is when a boy runs for the train and the train goes without him.
“Lunch boxes also – just go to Tesco and get a meal deal!”
Despite the mystery surrounding her relationship status, it seems Jess has been trying to get on Love Island for a couple of years.
Former Love Island star Alexi Eraclides, who was on series six, claimed to The Sun: “She reached out to me a couple of years back.
“She wanted to know how I got on Love Island, if I was scouted or applied.
“She was obviously really keen to get on the show and very much had it at the forefront of her mind.”
