LOVE Island fans believe they've spotted a secret connection between Joey Essex and Uma Jammeh. It was recoupling night last night and despite the pair picking different islanders, fans are convinced that there's something brewing. Uma went first and picked Ayo Odukoya in her first firepit experience, which many viewers were shocked by.
Joey then chose Samantha Kenny, gushing over her in an adorable speech. "From the minute I walked in this villa she caught my eye. She's always smiling, she's bubbly, she's funny, she's reem and she makes me laugh.
"She's the only girl in this villa I would say right now who I would say I've got the best connection with." As he was speaking, the camera continued to pan over to Uma to catch her reaction. She smiled sweetly but her eyes stayed fixed on Joey, who she'd pulled to the hideout on her bombshell arrival.
The couple hit it off in the hideaway, and Joey told Uma that he's not closed off to meeting other people. "Joey still dragging samantha along..
.we been knew. i feel like he wants uma?" wrote one fan on X.
The boys were blindfolded when she arrived, and she went and gave them all a smooch. After kissing Joey, she whispered in his ear "I'll see you later", which clearly got Joey excited. "Joey thought Uma was picking him didn't he," said another.
Uma's arrival left Samantha in tears after she worried that Joey's head would be turned. After being consoled by the girls on the day beds, she broke down - and didn't get much reassurance fro.
