Love Island's Yasmin: Her age, Instagram, job and more revealed
We may only be in week two of Love Island but it appears we may have found the ultimate bombshell for the season, as newbie Yasmin Pettet is bombshelling like no other. The 24-year-old entered the Villa at the end of last week and has caused quite the stir thanks to her forward energy and going after exactly who and what she wants. Since entering the Villa, she's divided viewers with some calling her out for stepping on other peoples' toes, while many are loving the bombshell energy she is bringing, with even Love Island voiceover Iain Stirling praising Yasmin's work on the show. In a recent TikTok, Iain said: "10 years in the game, and we've got a new elite Islander on our hands. Yasmin, congratulations, you're doing God's work." Yep, it's safe to say we're obsessed and this is everything you need to know about the bombshell that is Yasmin Pettet. Yasmin is 24 years old and her birthday appears to be in February. From the looks of her Instagram it appears Yasmin is a Pisces, this means she's a water sign. Pisces tend to be "empathetic, mystical, pleasure-seeking, romantic, imaginative and impressionable," which, from what we've seen so far, definitely seems to match up to the vibe Yasmin is getting off. Yasmin currently works as a commercial banking executive. Yasmin is based in London. Ahead of going into the Villa, Yasmin starred in an official Love Island audio described video where she described what she looked like. She revealed she is half English and half Persian. Also revealed in the audio described video, Yasmin is 5 ft 5. Ahead of going into the Villa, Yasmin told ITV she wanted to find a guy who is: "fit, has a nice body and who is funny with a bit of banter." She also doesn't want to date a stingy guy. If you want to find out even more about Yasmin head to her Instagram at the handle @yasminpettet111, where she regularly posts pictures from her nights out with friends and at boujie dinners. She does indeed, however, right now there's no posts on her account at the handle @yasminpettet111. Right now Yasmin is officially coupled up with Shea. What hasn't happened more like! In the week she's been in the Villa, Yasmin has been busy. She entered during the fifth episode and interrupted the boys' night alongside other new bombshells Malisha and Emily. The trio got to know the boys, which was being streamed back the girls in the Villa in real time and Yasmin chose to take Harry away for some one on one time to get to know him. They seemed to get on very well, but upon arriving back in the Villa, Harry pulled back a little bit. Yasmin then got to know the other boys and formed a small connection with Shea, who chose to recouple with her during the next time around the fire pit. However, following her recoupling, Yasmin then started getting flirty with Dejon and spending more time with Harry. And in last night's episode after many flirty conversations with Harry, the pair snuck off to the Hideaway where they shared multiple secret kisses while in the hot tub. Their kisses were then revealed during the game at the end of last night's episode leading to shock from the rest of the group. It seems that wherever Yasmin goes, so too does the drama, and we are so here for it. Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITVX
