However, after almost three weeks in the villa Sam was dumped from the island on June 17, 2024.

What happened to Samantha Kenny on Love Island?

Samantha entered the villa on day one as part of the Love Island 2024 original line-up.

She was initially coupled up with hairdresser Sam Taylor.

However, when celebrity bombshell Joey Essex entered the villa he chose to couple up with Samantha and Sam was dumped.

The couple seem to be going well, and lasted around two weeks together.

That was until Grace Jackson - Joey's ex-girlfriend - arrived in the villa.

The Towie star's head turned immediately, and poor Samantha was left heartbroken.

Her misery didn't end there as she was then brutally dumped after a recoupling saw Grace and Joey couple up and Sam left single.

Speaking about her time in the villa, she said: "Obviously I am devastated to leave all of the girls behind.

"But I am very excited now to see what my future holds and look forward to seeing what is next.

When it comes to Joey, I think if I knew what I know now, I perhaps would have done things differently.

She went on: "When it comes to Joey, I think if I knew what I know now, I perhaps would have done things differently."
