Uma Jammeh in Love Island UK

Uma Jammeh made an unforgettable entry into Love Island UK season 11. She arrived at the villa after popular British television personality, Joey Essex. Uma wasted no time, and right after she entered, she kissed all the boys on the show.

She described herself as:

"I’m young. I’ve been single for my whole life, it’s about time I’m not single anymore. I’m ready for a boyfriend! I feel like I’ve been so unlucky in love! It’s all been underwhelming so far. I don’t know what the reason is, I think it’s them, as it can’t be me!"

Uma claimed that she would be "the funniest girl in the villa." She further spoke about her personality:

"All of my friends like to say that I like to have fun and make everyone else have fun too."

Some viewers might not know Uma Jammeh is friends with Samie Elishi, an ex-islander. Samie also shared about Uma that she would be entering the show through her Snapchat.

For the unversed, Samie was part of Love Island UK season 9 and came third in the finale. She and Uma have been seen interacting via Instagram, where Samie refers to Uma as her close friend.

In her introductory video clip for Love Island UK, Uma added:

"I’ll bring a positive vibe and happiness! When people first see me, they usually think I’m going to be horrible, they are always surprised when I’m not! I’ll bring confidence, and I like to think I’m funny.”

Since Uma Jammeh appeared on the show, she has created a lot of drama and speculation among her fellow contestants. Viewers are eagerly waiting to see who she will choose and what twists await them in the coming days.
