The Love Island bombshell has become an iconic part of the show, with fans eagerly awaiting the new arrival to spice up villa life and rock the couples.
Drama started in the very first episode of the 2024 series, with first ever celebrity bombshell Joey Essex arriving on night one and effectively dumping another islander with his choice from the female line up.

Talking about heading into the villa, Grace said: ""[I'm excited] to be somewhere where you're forced to have a conversation and be a bit more open.
