And she's got a famous ex watching on, who also took part in the show.
Fans noticed the connection after Love Island's Instagram shared a promo shot of her, and he replied: 'WOOP WOOP,' followed by fire emojis.
It's none other than Dami Hope, who rose to fame on the hit dating show in 2022.
On the show, Dami met his now girlfriend Indiyah Polack, who is one of the hosts of Love Island spin-off show, Aftersun.
Another Love Island star, Tyrique Hyde, has brought the fact that they used to date to light, in a recent video.
The caption reads: 'Tyrique bantering Dami Hope about Billykiss from Love Island.'
And in the clip, both Tyrique and Dami can be seen together and Tyrique says to the camera: 'Shout out Billykiss though, Dami's ex. If I'm lying I'm dying'
Dami can be seen looking on surprised, and replies: 'Oh that's what we're doing now? He's troubled man. He's so troubled that he had to do that.'
Watch awkward moment Love Island's Meg clashes with bombshell Billykiss over Dejon in brutal game
The boys crack up into laughter, with Tyrique saying: 'Let's shoutout all our exes.'
The Sun has contacted their reps for comment.
Despite being exes, the pair appear to now have a close friendship and work together for a party company named License2Party.
A source told the Daily Mail: "Bilikis and Dami have known each other for years after both growing up in Dublin.
"They dated a long time ago but still run a party business together so Dami not given a heads up on her villa entrance may not have gone down well.
"Their former fling is guaranteed to be discussed on Aftersun given Dami's girlfriend Indiyah is a regular panellist."
Meanwhile, Dami and Indiyah have been going strong since they met on Love Island three ago, and are the only couple from that series who are still together.
War of words
It's been something of a tough start for Billykiss romantically in the villa.
Meg went head-to-head with the bombshell over Dejon in Thursday night's brutal game.
The Islanders took part in a a Superman challenge, donning their finest Clark Kent and Lois Lane outfits.
Yasmin and Gio chose Dejon as the least dedicated.
Yasmin explained her reasoning: 'I don't feel like you've dedicated yourself fully to the whole experience.
"I hope you've only dedicated to getting to know one person…'
Dejon remarked: 'I didn't know when all of a sudden it's become a problem wanting one woman.'
Yasmin continued: 'There's other girls in here like Billykiss who picked you to go on a date because she was obviously attracted to you…'
Meg interjected: 'Well he clearly doesn't want her.'
Billykiss then said: 'Well he didn't say that. He didn't say he didn't want me."
Meg hit back: "It's not up to you guys, we will decide ourselves."
She then said to Dejon: 'You say you're open then when she's not around you don't act like you're closed.'
Dejon reacted: 'I don't care about any of your opinions, I know what I want and that's Meg."
Billykiss replied: "Well close things off, even on the date when I asked if you were open and you wanted to get to know me, you said yes."
Dejon fired back: "Please Billykiss, is this like your five minutes of TV or what?
"I don't understand why you're still going on.'
After some choice words between her and Meg, the exchange ended with Billykiss told Dejon: 'You don't want to hear the truth which is why you're feeling sour.'
Viewers were full of praise for Billykiss as she finally delivered some home truths to Meg and Dejon.

Perrie Edwards channels her inner cowgirl as she belts out her new country song in Newcastle - after speaking out on toxic relationships and heartbreaking baby loss
Perrie Edwards has returned to the stage with a performance of her new country track, after detailing her struggles with toxic relationships and baby loss in her most candid interview yet. The Little Mix star, 32, has been promoting her new song If He Wanted To, He Would, and took to the stage at the Come Together Festival in Newcastle to belt out her new song on Wednesday. Channelling her inner cowgirl, Perrie slipped into a black catsuit with white fringing as she performed the song, which is set to be released on Friday. Earlier this week, the star sat down for a hard-hitting interview on Paul C Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast, where she revealed for the first time she'd suffered two heartbreaking baby losses. Perrie shared that she first miscarried early into her first pregnancy, and discovered the devastating loss when she started bleeding and headed to the doctors. She then went on to reveal that a year after giving birth to her 'rainbow baby' Axel, who is now three, she discovered she was pregnant again, but tragically lost her baby at 24 weeks. Speaking about her son, Perrie said: 'Axel's a rainbow baby. 'So I had a miscarriage very early on with my first ever pregnancy, and it was so early. I remember finding out I was pregnant. 'Obviously, I started bleeding not long after, and I went to the hospital and I had the scan and they were like, 'There's no baby.'' 'And I was like, 'oh, I've made this up. Maybe I got a false positive or something.' And I remember being on my own at the appointments because nobody was there.' Perrie added that due to her miscarriage, she was 'on edge' while she expecting her son Axel, admitting she 'just wanted to get past' the 12-week scan. 'And then when I had Axel, when I was pregnant with him, like, I loved being pregnant, it was one of the happiest times of my life. Like, I just love carrying babies,' she said. 'And it was lovely. But I was a bit on edge thinking, oh, gosh, like, I want to get past the 12 weeks. I want to get past this. And when I get past every scan and that pregnancy was complete bliss, it was perfect.' Perrie then revealed the heartbreaking moment she learned she'd miscarried again following her 20-week scan, having learned she was pregnant again while rehearsing for Little Mix's final tour in 2022. She then went on to reveal that a year after giving birth to her 'rainbow baby' Axel, who is now three, she discovered she was pregnant again, but tragically lost her baby at 24 weeks She continued: 'And then we fell pregnant again after. So maybe a year and probably not even. Actually, yeah. Not even a year, because Axel wasn't even walking yet and we were pregnant' She continued: 'And then we fell pregnant again after. So maybe a year and probably not even. Actually, yeah. Not even a year, because Axel wasn't even walking yet and we were pregnant. 'And I remember thinking, right, I found out when I was rehearsing for the Little Mix tour, the last Little Mix tour, I was at rehearsals and I thought, oh, I don't feel good. Every, every symptom under the sun. I was like, I think I'm pregnant.' 'And then we went for what was a 20-week scan, but we were actually 22 weeks, and that was just the worst day of my life. Like horrendous. 'And I just knew something was wrong in the scan, and he just kept going over the same thing, over the same thing... I've never experienced an out-of-body experience where everything goes in slow motion.' Recalling the moment she and her fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain returned home from the hospital after learning the devastating news, she said: 'So then I remember sobbing. He [Alex] was injured at the time and he couldn't really drive. 'He was struggling to drive, but I couldn't see straight. I was just distraught. And yeah, we basically lost the baby at like 24 weeks.' 'It's weird because the first time it happened, I think because it was so early, I was like, oh, that's hard. But I think when you're fully, like carrying in your 24 weeks and you've planned out like that room and all these things, it's really hard.' 'And nobody knows other than, like, immediate friends and family. And I remember, like, shortly after, like, friends would message and be like, ''how's the bump?'' And I'll be like, ''there is no bump.''' During the same interview, Perrie also revealed she escaped a 'toxic' relationship with her ex-fiancé Zayn Malik that left her thinking she 'didn't want to meet anybody.' Reflecting on her dating history, Perrie, who did not name her ex-partner in the interview, admitted that behaviour in her 'first relationship' left her fearing the 'pain' of meeting someone new, as she was led to believe their actions were 'normal.' The singer previously got engaged to One Direction star Zayn in 2013, but they split two years later. She said: 'I think definitely at the time I thought everything we experienced in our relationship was normal. Reflecting on her dating history, Perrie, who did not name her ex-partner, admitted that behaviour in her 'first relationship' left her fearing the 'pain' of meeting someone new 'Because it was my first relationship, first love. I was like, 'Oh, this is how it's supposed to feel. It's supposed to feel a little bit toxic. In some ways, this is probably normal, right?' 'And then when I became single, I was almost thinking, like, I never, ever want to go through that again. I didn't even want to meet anybody. I was like, that's me done. I don't think I could bear that pain.' 'But now, reflecting back, I'm thinking, oh, that probably wasn't good. And I've noticed it a lot. 'Like in the start of the relationship, I would handle things differently with Alex, and he'd come at it with such a level head that it would throw me.' After kickstarting her solo career in 2023, Perrie is set to release her new song If He Wanted To He Would later this week.

BBC ‘not institutionally antisemitic', editor says after row over Gaza coverage
The BBC is 'not institutionally antisemitic', a newspaper editor has said following a row over the broadcaster's coverage of the conflict in Gaza. James Harding, The Observer 's editor-in-chief said the perception of a 'political presence looming over the BBC' is a problem and the broadcaster needs to be 'beyond the reach of politicians'. The BBC has been criticised for a number of incidents in recent months which include breaching its own accuracy editorial guidelines and livestreaming the Bob Vylan Glastonbury set, where there were chants of 'Death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)'. Following the incident, UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said ministers expect 'accountability at the highest levels' for the BBC's decision to screen the performance. Mr Harding discussed the difficulties of covering the Gaza conflict when he delivered this year's James MacTaggart Memorial Lecture at the Edinburgh TV Festival on Wednesday. He described how 'newsrooms are in a furious argument with ourselves over the coverage of Israel and Gaza', with the situation 'very hard to view dispassionately'. The Observer chief said this is true for all media organisations, particularly the BBC, and it is 'about as difficult as it gets in news'. Mr Harding said: 'This summer, Lisa Nandy has weighed in.' He said the Culture Secretary's office insists she did not explicitly ask Samir Shah, the BBC chairman, to 'deliver up' director-general Tim Davie 's resignation following the Bob Vylan incident, but 'people inside the BBC were left in no doubt that was the message'. Mr Harding said: 'The place became paranoid about how the BBC itself would cover the story; people around him thought the political pressure would be too much. 'Whatever your view of the hate speech vs freedom of speech issues, an overbearing government minister doesn't help anyone. 'The hiring and firing of the editor-in-chief of the country's leading newsroom and cultural organisation should not be the job of a politician. It's chilling. 'Political interference – and the perception of a political presence looming over the BBC – is a problem, one that we've got too accustomed to. 'It looks likely to get worse. We need to get on with putting the country's most important editorial and creative organisation beyond the reach of politicians now.' The broadcaster is also facing an Ofcom investigation into its documentary Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone after a review found it had breached the corporation's editorial guidelines on accuracy. The programme was removed from BBC iPlayer in February after it emerged the child narrator, Abdullah, is the son of Ayman Alyazouri, who has worked as Hamas's deputy minister of agriculture. Mr Harding said the BBC is not antisemitic. 'I am Jewish, proudly so,' he said. 'I'm proud, too, to have worked for the most important news organisation in the world. 'The BBC is not institutionally antisemitic. It's untrue to say it is. 'It's also unhelpful – much better to correct the mistakes and address the judgment calls that have been wrong, than smear the institution, impugn the character of all the people who work there and, potentially, undermine journalists in the field working in the most difficult and dangerous of conditions.' The UK Government and the BBC have been asked for comment. Mr Harding is co-founder of Tortoise Media, which acquired broadsheet newspaper The Observer in April. Before he co-founded Tortoise Media, Mr Harding was editor of The Times from 2007 to 2012 and was in charge of the BBC's news and current affairs programming from 2013 up until the beginning of 2018. He also co-presented On Background on the BBC World Service and wrote the book Alpha Dogs: How Political Spin Became A Global Business. A spokesperson for the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said: 'The Culture Secretary has been repeatedly clear that the role of the director-general is a matter for the BBC board. Any suggestion to the contrary is untrue. 'The BBC has itself acknowledged a number of serious failings in recent months, including the broadcasting of the Bob Vylan set at Glastonbury. 'It is entirely right that the Culture Secretary raised these issues with the BBC leadership on behalf of licence fee payers.'
