Samie had two very normal jobs before going on Love Island

Before going on the reality TV show, Samie had two jobs. She worked as an estate agent co-ordinator, which is basically an assistant to an estate agent, and had a part-time job in a restaurant.

She was a big partier and always out with the girls

When she wasn’t working, Samie was a real party girl. She loved going to festivals, bottomless brunches and sunny holidays with her girls.

The main reason she went on Love Island in the first place is that none of her friends wanted to go out at the weekends anymore or go on girls trips.

“All my single friends are starting to settle down, so whenever I suggest a girls’ trip, everyone’s staying in with their boyfriends. I want someone to do that with, too!” she told ITV.

Samie is a London girl through and through

The 25-year-old was born and raised in Islington, and now has her own flat in North London. So, she’s a London girl through and through. She has Moroccan heritage, though.

In a YouTube Q&A, Samie said: “I’m going to address this one because there’s been so much confusion when I was in the villa about my ethnicity and where I’m actually from.”

“Obviously, [I’m a] London girl. City girl. I am from London, but my dad is Moroccan. So that makes me half Moroccan and half English. I think there’s a bit of Welsh in there from my mum’s side, but it all gets muddled into one sometimes.”
