Who is Love Island's Omar Nyame?

26-year-old Omar was a PE teacher before making his appearance on Love Island back in 2024, with him having since focused on establishing himself as an influencer, with him being a regular partner with NovaMEN and boohooMAN, among others.

On his original season of Love Island Omar described himself as “competitive”, “confident” and “funny and flirty”, though challenges the idea that he's a player.

Outside of the show, the bombshell is also said to be good friends with Love Island host Maya Jama's ex Stormzy.

What happened on Omar Nyame's first Love Island season?

During his time on Love Island season 11 Omar coupled up with Uma Jammeh and Jess White, before ultimately being dumped from the villa with Tiffany Leighton after he and Jess were voted among the “least favourite” couples.

Following his exit from Love Island season 11, however, Omar was not afraid to be very publicly flirty with Grace Jackson. Commenting on one of her Instagram pictures, Omar said "The type of woman empires used to go to war for ????" – this despite her being in a relationship with Reuben Collins at the time.

Though neither contestant ever commented further on their connection at the time, in an interview Love Island season 10 winner Mimii Ngulube said "I'm not too sure, but I think they're just friendly. They're just good friends because they did get along when we were in the villa."
