She said: ‘Now is a good time for me, 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!’
Uma added of what she thinks she will bring to the Villa: ‘All of my friends like to say that I like to have fun and make everyone else have fun too. 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. I’m gonna be the funniest girl in the Villa!’
On why she thinks she is single she said: ‘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!’
She also told how what she is looking for in a partner is someone who can make her laugh, has similar values to her and is confident and likes to have fun.
Uma also revealed her celebrity crushes, saying: ‘Theo James, I literally love him. Him, him and him! Probably the F1 driver Lando Norris, I like his personality, he’s really cheeky and funny.
‘And then Keith Lemon – someone who can make me laugh!’
Uma shares a snog with every single boy while they’re blindfolded on Wednesday’s episode of Love Island – as the girls watch on from above.

Unaware of the plot twist, the girls are left in utter shock and fury after watching the newcomer snog their man.
Elsewhere tension rises in the episode as Harriet Blackmore and Joey Essex sneak off to the hideaway, despite her telling current partner Ciaran Davies she’s glad she Joey didn’t pick her.
Harriet tells Ciaran: ‘I’m glad he didn’t pick me though.’
Ciaran adds: ‘Are you glad?’
Harriett says: ‘Yeah because I didn’t want you to go.’
After their chat, Ciaran pulls Nicole Samuel over for a chat in the hideaway – making Harriet less than impressed.
Harriet says: ‘Why am I jealous?’
At the Hideaway terrace, Nicole says to Ciaran: ‘Do you feel like you’re open to getting to know me?’
Ciaran says: ‘Definitely.’
But Harriet confides in Samantha and says: ‘I’m just pissed off.’
The next day, Harriett pulls Samantha for a chat and says: ‘I just wanted to pull you before. I’m going to pull him [Joey] but I don’t want you to think anything. I’m going to go to the Hideaway because I think Ciaran needs a taste of his own medicine.’
But in the teaser clip after Tuesday’s episode, Samantha seemed furious of Harriet’s decision.
Elsewhere during the episode, Mimii Ngulube and Ayo Odukoya’s relationship seemed to be heating up quickly as they head to the terrace for a chat.
Ayo said: ‘I think after today everything has been put in perspective for a few people, especially for me anyway, you know what the score is.’
Mimii said: ‘What’s the score again?’
Ayo replied: ‘I wanted to come up here just to say I’m more than attracted to you. I very much see you. You look so pretty… Can I show you something quickly?’
The duo then seal the deal and share another sneaky kiss… but do they only have eyes for each other?
Elsewhere in the upcoming episode, Munveer pulls Patsy for a chat and tells her: ‘You look beautiful by the way.’ – which makes her open up about her disability.
She says: ‘There is one big thing that I was going to bring up. I haven’t really spoken to anyone about it.’
Munveer says: ‘Open up – I’m all ears.’

Uma also revealed her celebrity crushes, saying: ‘Theo James, I literally love him. Him, him and him! Probably the F1 driver Lando Norris, I like his personality, he’s really cheeky and funny!’
Patsy says: ‘I’ve got a disability, basically. I haven’t said anything to anyone yet because it’s an awkward thing to bring up. It’s a disability in my arm – I’ve got no strength, anything above shoulder height I can’t lift.’
Munveer says: ‘If you need any support, I’m here.’
Patsy adds: ‘Sometimes you think, I don’t know, that having something different you don’t know if everyone is going to find it completely sexy. But being different is cool.’
Munveer says: ‘Absolutely. I really appreciate you sharing that with me.’
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX
LOVE ISLAND 2024: MEET THE CONTESTANTS
NAME: Mimii Ngulube
AGE: 24
FROM: Portsmouth
OCCUPATION: Mental Health Nurse
WHY LOVE ISLAND? The pool in Portsmouth is not giving. I’ve tried dating, speaking to people on social media and it just hasn’t been successful. Applying was a spontaneous thing, I didn’t expect to get here!
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? My girls are my rocks and I’m theirs so I’ll be a good friend as well as going in there to find a man. I like dressing up so I’ll bring style, and I’d like to think I’m quite funny so I’ll make people laugh. Bringing honesty as well – I’m good at picking up on people’s personality traits and side-eyeing those who might be a liar.
NAME: Patsy Field
AGE: 29
FROM: Orpington
OCCUPATION: Office Administrator
WHAT DO YOU WANT THE ISLANDERS TO KNOW? I’ve got something very special about me which is my disability, it’s a condition I was born with called Ebs Palsy. It doesn’t define who I am , but it makes me a little different, although I’ve learnt to get on with it and it’s never held me back.
HOW WOULD FRIENDS/FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? My friends would say that I’m the loudest person in the group, I’m the one who’s always up for doing a dare, the life and soul of the party. My family would say that I’m bossy and that it’s always my way or the highway, they’d say I rule the roost.
NAME: Sean Stone
AGE: 24
FROM: Hertford
OCCUPATION: Sweet Salesman
WHY LOVE ISLAND? I’ve always been one for relationships and when you have found someone you want to be with it’s the best feeling. Now is the perfect time, the one thing that is missing is my soulmate.
HOW WOULD FRIENDS/FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? Very loving, caring and thoughtful. I’m the kind of guy that if you broke down on the motorway and needed your tyre changed, I’d be there at any time of night.
NAME: Harriett Blackmore
AGE: 24

NAME: Ayo Odukoya
AGE: 25
FROM: Canning Town

WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? I think I’d bring excitement and joy. I think people would have someone to come to and talk to and feel comfortable being around or to have a laugh with. I think I’m somebody everyone would take to.
WHY SHOULD SOMEBODY DATE YOU? I feel like the way I carry myself is very respectful and I think people take to that and once you show who you are to somebody you get it back tenfold. The way I am gives off a good enough energy for people to feel comfortable around me.
NAME: Samantha Kenny
AGE: 26
FROM: Liverpool
OCCUPATION: Makeup Artist

If I want a night out I go down to London as I love the boys down south. Tall, dark and cockney is my type.
NAME: Munveer Jabbal
AGE: 30
FROM: Surbiton, Surrey
OCCUPATION: Recruitment Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I haven’t found the right girl, I’m quite picky and have high standards. Dating in London is horrible. You don’t know who’s single… but now you’re putting me in a place where everyone’s single so there’s no issues around that. CLAIM T0 FAME? I’m mates with Spencer Morgan (Piers Morgan’s son). We met when I moved to Fulham in 2018.

FROM: Aberdare, Wales

WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I’ve been enjoying single life and the attention of different boys, it’s fun. I’ve enjoyed being able to go on holiday with the girls and not having to worry about someone back home. All the girls are there texting in their room and I’m out till 4 in the morning living my best life.
WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? I became a world champion dancer in 2011, not many people know that. I was a professional street dancer.
NAME: Ronnie Vint
AGE: 27

NAME: Jess White
AGE: 25
FROM: Stockport
OCCUPATION: Retail Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I don’t underestimate the fact that I’m hard work. I know what I want and I’m not easily pleased. When you’re a loud, outgoing woman, sometimes it can intimidate men – men don’t always want that.
WHAT’S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? I love a set of white Turkey teeth but a good set of Turkey teeth. I would say personality traits, you have to be family orientated. You have to be tall, you can’t be shorter than me, I can’t be having to question whether I can wear heels around you and what height of heels I can wear. If you’re vertically challenged, it’s not for me.
NAME: Ciaran Davies
AGE: 21
FROM: Pencoed, South Wales
OCCUPATION: Surveyor
WHAT’S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? Obviously looks but humour is a big thing for me, I’m a bit of a wind up so I want a girl who can give it back. Loyalty is another one for me, I think that’s the most important thing to look for in a relationship.
CLAIM T0 FAME? When I was in Malia on a boys holiday I pretended to be Liam Reardon from series 7 to get into a club because they wouldn’t let us in. It worked and we ended up getting a private booth and free drinks all night.
