Calvin Klein model Jamie Jewitt left viewers (and Camilla) swooning over his good looks and perfectly chiseled body when he entered the Love Island villa last week, but it turns out he used to date another famous reality TV star.

Yes, according to reports, Jamie enjoyed a string of dates with former The Only Way Is Essex cast member Jessica Wright!

According to a national newspaper, Jamie and Jess met when Jamie 'caught Jess' eye' during a night out in London.

A source said, "Jamie a good looking lad and Jess is a gorgeous girl so they gravitated towards one another."

"They’ve stayed in touch since, and had a few casual dates here and there in London. Jamie and Jess even went out together as recent as this year."

"They always have a fun time together, and their mates think they’ll remain on good terms whatever the outcome of Love Island."

It seems despite a romantic relationship not working out, Jamie and Jess have remained friends.

The model will be hoping for more with fellow Love Island contestant Camilla Thurlow. The pair shared their first ever kiss on last night's show after enjoying a number of cosy dates since Jamie entered the villa last week.

Admitting she finds Jamie attractive and can feel the sexual chemistry, viewers were left over the moon last night when they shared a kiss on the outdoor bed.

Love! 😍

If you think you recognise Jamie, the model has previously appeared on TV before!

The 27-year-old appeared on E4's Taking New York back in 2015.

The show, which had a similar format to Made In Chelsea, followed a number of socialites as they lived in New York City and all of the drama that came with it.

As well as starring Jamie, the show also featured Georgina Leigh, who appeared on the 17th series of Big Brother and Britain's Next Top Model star Sophie Sumber.

After airing eight episodes in season one, Taking New York wasn't renewed for any further series.

You can see if Jamie and Camilla's romance blossoms further in the villa on Love Island, every night at 9pm.

Whilst we wait, check out what the previous Islanders are up to, including Calum Best and Cally Jane Beech.
