However, on July 8, 2024, The sun exclusively revealed that Uma had QUIT Love Island, after Wil was dumped from the villa.

A source told us at the time: "The villa is so full that people are sleeping on the day beds.

"So producers decided it was a good idea to trim the fat and called another recoupling and dumping soon after Movie Night.

"What they were not expecting was the partner of the individual axed wanting to leave.

"That rarely ever happens."

I knew where my head and heart was at and it’s with Wil so I wanted to be true to my feelings for him.
