Joanna and Michael met in 2019 when Joanna entered the Love Island villa during Casa Amor in series five.
At the time, Michael was partnered up with Amber Gill, who went on to win the show with Greg O’Shea. The couple split shortly after the show, with Amber going on to date Arsenal football player Jen Beattie, with whom she recently split from.
Joanna and Michael hit a rough patch when she was voted off of the hit reality dating programme – but Michael wasn’t.
Joanna tried to get Michael to leave with her but he refused, and viewers thought that was the end of their relationship as she branded him ‘a f***ing snake’ and aggressively grabbed his chin.
Michael then confessed he still had feelings for Amber just one week after Joanna’s departure.
However, Joanna and Michael were spotted passionately kissing just days after Michael he had been dumped from the villa.
Joanna initially denied they were kissing, claiming instead that Michael was whispering in her ear.
When she finally admitted the kiss, she explained she still had feelings for Michael which she couldn’t just turn off.

However the two never officially reconciled, and were not spotted together in a compromising position again.
In 2020, the two reunited for BBC Three’s Eating With My Ex where they cleared the air and appeared to be on good terms.
Joanna later revealed exclusively to Metro.co.uk that Michael wanted to reconcile, saying: ‘I could see he wanted to try more, but I couldn’t. It was draining. I just didn’t want it anymore.’
And it looks like the two are still friendly because the two follow each other on Instagram.
Joanna and Ben
Joanna and Ben dated for several months in 2018, before she found fame on Love Island
Joanna and Ben dated for several months in 2018.
At the time, Ben was playing as a left-back for Leicester City, still years away from joining Chelsea, though he had already been capped.
Upon their breakup, the couple wiped all traces of each other from their social media.
Ben was reportedly ‘furious’ when he heard that Joanna had signed up for Love Island in 2019, despite the fact they had split up the previous year.
A source said: ‘Ben has been left furious by her going on the show even though he dumped her at the end of last summer because he wanted to be single.
‘They had stayed good friends until when she told him she was going on Love Island.’
Joanna and Ben do not follow each other on Instagram.

Joanna first entered the Love Island villa in 2019 as a 22-year-old and is now going back in 2024 as a 27-year-old and has vowed to not ‘play it safe this time around’
Joanna was announced as Love Island All Stars’ latest bombshell at the end of Tuesday’s episode.
On how she was going to do things differently now she has a second shot at love, Joanna said: ‘I won’t play it safe this time round.
‘Last time I found someone who I really got along with but I didn’t give myself the chance to get to know anyone else.
‘If I fancied someone else I kind of restricted getting to know them out of respect with the person I was with.’
LOVE ISLAND ALL STARS: MEET THE CAST
Kaz Kamwi
AGE: 29
SERIES: 7
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? To be totally honest, I actually really want to find love.
I had a great time last series but I want to have an even better time.
How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve previously dated from the show? The thing is, I’m a bad b*tch so I will handle it with as much grace as I can.
Georgia Harrison
AGE: 29
SERIES: 3
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? This is the last year of my 20s so I want to go in the Villa and have some fun and hopefully meet someone that I can fall in love with. I’m lucky in the sense that I’ve got everything in my life that I could possibly wish for, apart from love.
If you had to pick your top Islanders from Series 1 to 10 to couple up with who would they be and why? Chris Taylor, he’s hilarious and the main thing I’m attracted to is a man who can make me laugh. What a fun guy and like I said, I’m looking for someone to TikTok with so I reckon he’d be game for that sort of stuff!
Hannah Elizabeth
AGE: 33
SERIES: 1
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I’m returning to the Love Island Villa because I did it eight years ago and what an opportunity I never thought I’d get again. I’m not very good at finding love but I had a ball the first time, so I’m going to have a ball again.
You got engaged on the show last time, do you think wedding bells could be on the cards again this time round? Absolutely not, not in the Villa no. Maybe when I get out, but I’d need to give it a bit of time.
Georgia Steel
AGE: 25
SERIES: 4
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I’m 25, I have a house, a cat, a nice car – I have everything in life but a boyfriend, so why not give it as go.
You’ve been brave and honest in opening up about being conned by a former partner. How has this experience impacted the way in which you now approach dating?
I take that experience as a really positive reflection now. I look at it as something I had to go through to make me stronger and learn things in life for me to be able to learn what I want in my next partner.
Molly Smith
AGE: 29
SERIES: 6
What do you need to know? Molly entered her season as a Casa Amor bombshell and managed to turn Callum Jones’ head.
It’s believed she ended things with Callum after three years because she ‘wanted to get engaged’ but the offer was seemingly not forthcoming.
Arabella Chi
AGE: 32
SERIES: 5
What do you need to know? Despite a fleeting stint on her series she has hit the headlines with a series of high profile romances since, most recently with footballer Ruben Dias.

Tom Clare
AGE: 24
SERIES: 9
Why are you returning to the Villa?
I found love last time, so I am back and ready to give it another go.
What will you do differently this time round?
Last time I did exactly what I wanted and got the girl that I wanted, so no I wouldn’t do anything different.
Why do you think the Villa is the perfect place to find love?
When you’re with someone 24/7 you really get to know them. It can be such an alien environment, so you really get to know someone in a short space of time. It’s Love Island – it’s the best place!
Casey O’Gorman
AGE: 24
SERIES: 9
Why are you returning to the Love Island villa? I didn’t find love the first time round so I’m hoping it will be second time lucky.
I had the most amazing experience before, so get me back in that villa.
Who do you have your eye on? I’ve got my eyes on Molly, for sure. I genuinely think she is a 10 out of 10. Georgia H as well – I know her and we have had a good time together. It’ll be interesting to see if it can develop in any way.
Toby Aromolaran
AGE: 24
SERIES: 7
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? If I’m Single and Love Island is an opportunity for me, how could you turn down the chance to find love again?!
You were in a long term relationship with Chloe Burrows, what do you think her reaction will be when she hears you are going into the Villa? I don’t know how she would take it. We will always have love for each other and I think she would wish me the best of luck, as I would certainly do the same.
Chris Taylor
AGE: 33
SERIES: 5
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? Last time I was only there for 15 days, so I want to do it and enjoy it all again. I am 33 now and getting on a bit – I am getting ear hair! It would be nice to have a girl to keep my ears trimmed for me!
How did the Barbie Movie come about? I was invited to an afterparty by Margot Robbie and then ended up at an after party with her. I started to panic and make conversation with her, just having really stupid chats. All I can assume is that my silly chat made an impression on Margot Robbie. 18 months later I got an email from Warner Brothers.
Anton Danyluk
AGE: 29
SERIES: 5
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? For me it was a no brainer. I got the call and it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and probably the best summer I have ever had in my life. Getting the chance to do it twice is going to be unbelievable.
Why do you think the Love Island Villa is the perfect place to find love?
I think this time with Love Island: All Stars, things will be different, as we all understand what it’s like to go on Love Island and the only thing now missing is finding a partner.

I had a fun experience the first time around but I didn’t go the full way and find love, so I’d love to find someone this time.
What will you do differently this time round?
I’m quite chilled and don’t want drama, so I think I will approach this time round in a similar way. I’m a one guy kind of girl.

It’s a once in a lifetime experience and not something that comes up every day.
