Jasmine Muller has joined the growing list of Love Island contestants with very famous exes.
Only a handful of ITV2 alums had been marginally recognisable prior to making their villa debut, purely because of who their former flames were.
Amongst them is 2020 star Paige Hurley, whose most famous ex was the hit singer Lewis Capaldi, while 2017 beauty Camilla Thurlow was rumoured to have dated Prince Harry.
Camilla also appeared on the season alongside Olivia Attwood, who was herself linked to footballer Bradley Dack before joining the show, and whom she later married and split from after its conclusion.

As it turns out, Jasmine, 27, romantic history seems to somewhat echo Attwood's, being that she also dated a pretty huge-name sportsman.
A few years before she landed in Mallorca, the social media influencer had split from a certain Spanish La Liga footballer.
During a recent episode of the hit dating show, Jasmine - who seems to have struck up a romance with co-star Kavan Murphy - revealed she'd previously dated a Premier League player, but wanted to remain 'very private about' that relationship, which she added ended five years ago.
Prior to entering the villa, she told ITV producers she was once romantically connected to Real Betis star Hector Bellerin, claiming they'd dated during the early stages of his career, while he played in the UK for Arsenal.
"I have a lot of time for him," Jasmine said in her VT introduction. "There's not really any drama or anything interesting to say about it because we both just have a lot of love for each other.
"It was a healthy and lovely relationship, and I suppose it did prepare me a little for high profile things."
She hasn't yet spilled the reason for the split with her fellow islanders, but Jasmine did tell OK!: "It [was] so long ago now that I don't think about it on a day-to-day basis, but I'm sure that having lived that at such a young age has obviously prepared me.
"As have other things, I've been in the public eye with an online job since I was like 19."
She added: "So it's been a while of doing a public facing job, I guess. I don't know if that's the right way to put it, but I think I feel prepared and I feel like I know that people like to talk and it doesn't really bother me too much."
