All the wildest transformations from the cast of Love Island 2024

Sorry, who are these people?


Of course the cast of Love Island 2024 have had huge transformations before the villa. It happens every year, the gorgeous Islanders walk onto the show, and then pictures of them before their massive glam makeovers get revealed.

Don’t get me wrong, these Islanders haven’t looked bad a single day in their life, it’s just refreshing to see them be so open and let the world know when they’ve had work done. Some have had cosmetic procedures and surgery to achieve their current villa look, whilst others have just ditched awful early 2000s trends.

Here is a roundup of the biggest transformations from the cast of Love Island 2024.

Grace has been very open about all the cosmetic procedures that have helped her have one of the biggest transformations ahead of Love Island 2024.  Old pictures of Grace have emerged since she’s been on the show, so people had been talking about whether or not she’s had any work done.

Before the show, Grace had tear trough filler, lip filler and chin filler for the villa, and has previously had Botox done.

Old pictures of Nicole Samuel before her time in the Love Island 2024 villa have emerged, and she’s had an incredible transformation. The pictures are from her 18th birthday, on a night out with friends. She looks pretty unrecognisable, then with long jet-black hair, compared to her shorter, brunette hair with blonde bangs in the villa.

Nicole hasn’t spoken about any work she got done ahead of the villa, but a post on Instagram shows she had her teeth done for the show. “Villa ready smile,” her dentist posted. She shared that Nicole had her teeth whitened, as well as six veneers on her top teeth.

Umm, who is this please? Wil looks SO different in pictures on his Instagram. He used to have longer, spiky hair and no facial hair. It really is a wonder what a bit of beard can do.

Jessy Potts

I can’t quite pin-point what has changed about Jessy, because to be honest, she just looks like a completely different person. A few years ago she looked totally different, and it looks as though she’s definitely gone blonder, and may have had her teeth and lips done.

Mimii Ngulube

Mimii’s glow up is one for the ages. Old videos of her singing in a competition when she was a teenager have emerged, and in them she looks totally different. She used to wear glasses and had different hair. It’s giving wild glam up.

Harriett Blackmore

Harriett looked loads different in a clip from five years ago, that came out whilst she was in the villa. Harriett is 24 now, so would have been around 19 when it was filmed.

It’s since been revealed Harriett spent thousands on work before the villa. She got a muscle toning procedure on her stomach, as well as lip filler, cheek filler and chin filler. She also spent a lot of money getting her teeth done, having a course of Invisalign and teeth whitening before the show.

Joey Essex

Throwing it back to when 20-year-old Joey Essex was first on TOWIE, back in 2011. He’s 33 now, and has lost his big quiffy reem hair. I’ll be honest, the buzzcut is much better, Joey.

Tiffany Leighton

When Tiff was a bombshell everyone was shook as pictures of her before the villa emerged. I mean, I think it was pretty clear she’d had her teeth done – nobody is born with such perfectly white and straight teeth.

In a cute picture Tiff shared herself from her childhood, you can see how much she’s changed. “Better late than never,” she captioned it.

Emma Milton

Emma Milton does Instagram for a living, but has kept all of her old posts up on her page. She doesn’t look wildly different, it’s just her complete vibe shift that makes this transformation. She really went from 2010s makeup to influencer chic real quick.
