Who is Diamanté Laiva? 

Diamanté Laiva is one of the bombshells on Love Island who arrived during Casa Amor.

Before entering, she said: “I have so many different moods, I can’t even describe to you what kind of person I am for starters.

“If I have a problem with something, whoever it is, I’ll tell them right then and there. 

“I don’t feel the need to whisper behind someone’s back.”

Diamanté had a plan to show her flirty side from the get-go: "I’m straightforward, I plan to be very flirty, at the end of the day, it’s Love Island! 

“I won’t really be much of a girls’ girl, otherwise I’d go make friends and I wouldn’t be on Love Island."

What does Diamanté Laiva do?

Diamanté Laive is a 21-year-old natural beauty business owner from London.

In terms of potential matches, she revealed she already had her eye on one of the boys.

Diamanté said: "Wil; he gives that energy like he’s got something to him. 

“He’s not opened up yet. I feel like he’s waiting for me to arrive, he just doesn’t know it yet.

“So he’s been reserving himself. But I do like them a bit reserved.

“I don’t like a man who's too over excited and ‘talk, talk, talk’ — it gives me the ick. 

Joey has started to grow on me… Ciaran does take my fancy as well, we’re similar age and he is quite mature for his age and I like a man with an accent.”

Diamanté offered a unique insight that might appear on her dating profile.

"If you give me the ick once, I’m blocking you. 

“Without warning as well. I reached the limit of blocking people…over 500 combined I think."

When did Diamanté Laiva appear on Love Island?

Diamanté Laiva first appeared on Love Island on Sunday June 30, 2024.

Casa Amor returned earlier than normally this year.

An insider told The Sun: “This is the earliest ever use of Casa Amor. 

“It means three fledgling relationships will be put under strain at a very early stage and produce maximum drama.”

When was Diamanté Laiva dumped from Love Island?

Diamanté was dumped from the villa during Thursday July 4, 2024's episode.

It's a bit weird how you can tell someone they're your priority and this is how you treat your priority.

Despite getting close to Sean Stone during Casa Amor, he chose to stick with Matilda Draper.

However, Diamanté wasn't too happy with this decision and told Matilda just how close she and Sean got while she was away.

Presenter Maya Jama asked Diamante if there was anything she wanted to say, to which she replied: "It's a bit weird how you can tell someone they're your priority and this is how you treat your priority."

To which Matilda snapped back: "You're not sat here, babe."

What did Diamanté Laiva say about leaving Love Island 2024?

Diamanté said that she felt "very chilled" about leaving Casa Amor.

In her exit interview, she said: "It feels very chilled, I just can’t wait to go home and drink a cup of tea!"

However, she said she was "surprised" to have not been chosen in the recoupling.

She added: "I actually was, when Sean was giving his speech he said he was confused, and he was saying he found connections in Casa and as he was saying that I was thinking, ‘are we about to couple up?’

"I think he chose the safe option to stick with Matilda. He’s perhaps not as genuine as we all thought he was…"
