Love Island’s 2024 line-up will reportedly include a gorgeous blonde who already has a link to the show’s biggest success story Molly-Mae Hague.
With just weeks to go until the new crop of singles jet out to the ITV villa in Mallorca, rumours about contestants are swirling. And according to the Daily Mail, show bosses have signed up influencer Grace Jackson.
The 25-year-old beauty is already a favourite on social media, where she describes herself as a “model and creator”. She currently has a whopping 77.3K followers on the platform, including Molly-Mae, and recent snaps show her looking Love Island-ready in teeny bikinis and dresses with racy cut-outs.

It’s said that Grace – who has worked with Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty – will make “the perfect contestant”. An insider told the Mail: “Love Island producers are really excited about Grace, not only is she beautiful but she’s fun and looking to find her dream man, so will hopefully make the perfect contestant,” the source said.
While the line-up has yet to be confirmed, it has also been reported that bosses have signed up Welsh rugby player Ciaran Davies. However, it isn’t known whether he will be one of the contestants from the start, or whether he may make an entrance later as a bombshell.
A source told The Sun that Ciaran “caught the eye of Love Island bosses immediately”. “He’s gorgeous with a fit athletic build that will send the girls in the villa wild, but he’s also a sweet boy next door from Wales to boot,” they said. “He’s the kind of lad you could happily take home to your mum.”
Love Island is tipped to start on June 3, with Maya Jama back on hosting duties. The TV beauty was recently in the headlines after she tried to explain the dating show to King Charles and Camilla.
Maya met the royals at one of the Buckingham Palace garden parties, where she turned heads in a blue and black patterned dress and a matching hat. She got chatting to the King, who apparently asked what she did.
In a clip of the moment, the star can be heard explaining: “I host Love Island, I don’t know if you watch that though? That’s like a reality dating show.” “There’s one born every minute,” the monarch replied. And Maya responded: “There is, yeah!” She went on: ” I am just about to go to Spain to film some new young people snogging.”
