Friday night’s episode of Love Island is set to be explosive as another bombshell enters the villa, and he’s no stranger to some of the Islanders. But who exactly is Omar Nyame and what is his connection to Grace Jackson?
The 26 year old hunk from Croydon previously appeared on Season 11 of the ITV2 dating show, sharing the villa with Grace Jackson, Harriett Blackmore and Ronnie Vint. He has a bit of ‘history’ with Grace from his previous stint, which led to a heated confrontation with Joey Essex. Joey branded Omar “a snake” after learning that he had been ‘flirty’ with Grace.

It was also revealed that Grace would have pursued Omar if the TOWIE star hadn’t been in the villa. The situation escalated when the two men squared up to each other, forcing the rest of the cast to intervene.
During his time on the show, Omar was paired with Uma Jammeh and Jess White. He was later evicted from the villa alongside Tiffany Leighton after he and Jess were voted one of the ‘least favourite’ couples, reports the Mirror.
Away from the show, Omar used to be a PE teacher but has since embarked on a career as an influencer, collaborating with brands like Nova Men. His arrival last year made headlines as he’s pals with host Maya Jama‘s ex, Stormzy.
After the show, rumours swirled that Omar and Grace were ‘getting flirty’ outside the villa. He famously commented on one of her Instagram snaps, writing: “The type of woman empires used to go to war for,” complete with a heart-eye emoji, despite Grace being involved with Reuben Collins at the time.

Now, as Friday night’s episode teases, Omar is set to stir things up again by taking both Grace and Catherine out on a date. When quizzed about any lingering sparks with Grace, Omar played it cool: “I’ll see how she’s going and see if there’s anything there. That’s all I can do, explore things and see what happens.”
But it’s not just Grace catching his eye; Elma and Tina are also on his radar, even though he’s had a brief encounter with Elma’s beau Sammy in the real world.
Omar’s return to the villa isn’t just for the drama; he’s on a quest for romance and keen to find a girlfriend, given that his previous stint didn’t quite lead to lasting love. “It’s round two so I’m ready to go! I’m ready to play the field as well. I want to be a bit mysterious. The other person will know how I’m feeling, I’m not going to tell them at first but they’ll definitely feel my aura and my vibe,” he shared, hinting at his strategy before making a surprise re-entry.
