GRACE Jackson has had a smooth Love Island All Stars journey so far, but a former flame is coming back in to rock the boat.
Omar Nyame, 25, briefly coupled up with the blonde bombshell, 26, last year however on the outside things seemed to heat up between the pair leading to her split with Reuben Collins.
Just weeks after filming had ended Omar and Grace were spotted at the GRM Gala together with onlookers claiming the pair “all over each other”.
The pair had done a photoshoot at the event together which sent fans wild with speculation.
Then a string of videos emerged from the gala showing Grace grinding with Stormzy’s mate inside the venue.
In one clip circulating on TikTok they were seen very close in the middle of the packed dance floor, while another shows them filming a TikTok video together on the terrace.
A third clip obtained by The Sun shows Omar and Grace standing alone together with his arm around the stunning Manchester beauty, as she dances next to him.
Sources told The Sun they were holding hands in a tactile display that left witnesses believing there were a couple.
A source said: “They were all over each other at the GRM Gala holding hands and his arms were around Grace.
“He stayed by her side all night, wherever she went and it was the sweetest thing to watch. Fans were chatting to them and saying you look great together and Grace couldn’t stop smiling, she looked so happy.”
Grace was still with Reuben at the time who she left the villa with after he entered as a late bombshell.
A source at the time confirmed that Grace and Omar’s relationship was “entirely platonic” however, just days later she had split from Reuben.
The couple had struggled to make it work in the real world thanks to their conflicting, busy schedules.
A source close to the couple said: “Grace and Reuben have come to the mutual decision a romantic relationship isn’t right for either of them at this time.
“Grace wishes Reuben all the best and vice versa. They will remain friends and have no bad feelings towards each other.”
Now, Omar is back and set to storm the All Stars villa this time round he is keen to find love after failing to steal Grace from Joey Essex in 2024.
The battle for the blonde ended in Love Island’s own fight night as Joey and Omar squared up to each other.
This time round Omar revealed that he wants to be more daring and is looking for love, he said: “I want to find a girlfriend and it didn’t exactly go to plan last time!”
In regard to whether there was any unfinished business with Grace, he commented: “I’ll see how she’s going and see if there’s anything there. That’s all I can do, explore things and see what happens.”
The latest bombshell is already in the villa and has his sights set on a quite a few stunning singletons.
“I think all the girls are top tier, but for me Catherine, Grace, Elma and Tina! I’ll see who I have a connection with in there and go from there,” he revealed.
ENGLAND will sell out Thomas Tuchel’s first game as manager at Wembley – before potentially heading to a venue they haven’t played at in over a century.
Although the World Cup 2026 qualifier against Albania is not until March 21, only a few tickets remain and they are expected to all be sold by next week.
The news underlines the popularity of England matches at Wembley, even if the opposition is not always top-level.
The Albania gate will be about 86,000.
England are also at home at Wembley three days later in a qualifier against Latvia.
Tuchel’s first away match in charge of the Three Lions will be in Andorra on June 7.
There will also be a home friendly on June 10 but it will not be at the Home of Football.
It could see Senegal play at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground- although nothing has yet been finalised.
German boss Tuchel was at the World Cup draw in Zurich before Christmas but he officially took over on January 1.
He has been at a string of Premier League games while he has spoken to a number of England players.

Tuchel has also met with Lee Carsley who was interim England manager after the departure of Gareth Southgate but has now returned to the under-21s.
The 51-year-old will confirm his first Three Lions squad late next month.
The City Ground hasn’t hosted an England international since 1909, excluding wartime games.
Forest’s home was used in Euro 1996, hosting games involving Turkey, Croatia and Portugal.
But it’s well over a century since England played there – a 2-0 win over Wales in the Three Lions’ 100th international.
Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is planning a huge overhaul of the stadium, which has been the team’s home for 126 years.

The Greek hopes to expand the City Ground’s capacity to 50,000 due to a “huge waiting list” for season-ticket holders.
Forest chief executive Tom Cartledge added: “If you add up our 20,000 season-ticket holders, plus the 21,500 or more who were waiting in a queue for tickets, the city of Nottingham should be able to sustain a 45,000 to 50,000-seat stadium.
“We can get ourselves to 40,000 and, if there was no obstruction, he [Marinakis] would get on it next season.
“He just wants to get going with it and that’s very exciting.”
AN Irish driving instructor has warned novice drivers that a major road sign is changing in DAYS.
Learner drivers taking their test could get caught out on the change.
Lyle, known on TikTok as @Lyletheinstructor, is a hugely popular instructor with over 55,000 followers on the platform.
And he took to TikTok to remind people about the change.
Reduced speed limits have been introduced and all local roads will now have a 60km/h speed limit, going down from 80km/h.
And Lyle warned his followers to be aware of what the road sign means.
He said: “This road sign, which you could be asked about at the start of your driving test, is going to change from 80 kilometres to 60 kilometres.
“This used to be the rural speed limit of 80km and now it is changing from February 7 to 60km per hour.”
The driving instructor revealed that if you have a test next week and the examiner asks you what the sign means, you must respond that it is the rural speed limit of 60km/h.
Although the road sign previously meant 80km/h, drivers will answer the question incorrectly after February 7.
A sign with a white circle and three diagonal black lines will indicate that your speed must change from 80km/h to 60km/h.
Lyle added: “If you say it’s the rural speed limit of 80km after February 7, you will be incorrect because it has changed to 60 kilometres.”
And all Irish motorists must also be aware of the speed limit changes, as Drivers who don’t slow will be slapped with three penalty points and a fixed charge fine of €160.
Drivers in urban areas, which include built up parts as well as housing estates and town centres, will also see speed limit changes later this year.
In these urban core spots, speed limits will be reduced to 30km/h.
And the speed limit on national secondary roads will also drop from 100km/h to 80km/h.
Irish government officials said the changes are a part of the Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030 to achieve zero road deaths or serious injuries by 2050.
They said: “Introducing more consistent and appropriate speed limits will help to improve road safety in Ireland.
“These changes are being made under the Road Traffic Act 2024.
“The Act follows a number of key recommendations from the Speed Limit Review, which was undertaken by the department in 2023.”
Government said there was a “strong downwards trend” in the number of fatalities on our roads between 2006 and 2021.
The number of road deaths fell from 365 fatalities in 2006 to 132 in 2021, which was our safest year on record.
