Viewers of Love Island 2022 have endured a rollercoaster of emotions this season with Casa Amor drama, scandalous accusations and two contestants walking out of the villa early.
On Tuesday, July 12, 2022, islander Jacques O’Neill was revealed to have left the ITV show early following a new bombshell walking in.
The bombshell in question? Former series 4 contestant Adam Collard, whose actions on the show led to domestic abuse charity Women’s Aid making statements about his alleged gaslighting.
Of the four women he made beelines for, many will remember fellow former islander Rosie Williams, who poured her heart out to the lothario, only for him to smirk and deny his actions.
With Collard returning to the show for series eight, many are wondering what Williams’ thoughts about the decision and what she’s doing now.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Welsh reality TV star.
Who is Rosie Williams and what has she been doing since she left Love Island?
Rosie Williams entered the Love Island villa on day four of the ITV show’s fourth series in June 2018, but was dumped on day 20.
She is 26 years old and was born on September 26, 1991, and was a solicitor when she first rose to fame on the show.
The former islander founded a fashion brand called White Collar in 2019 – a year after her Love Island stint. Her bio on the brand’s website states: “Rosie Anna Williams is the founder of White Collar and Director of design and marketing. Rosie is a UK Influencer and TV Personality but before this, Rosie was a practicing Solicitor in England and Wales.
“As a Solicitor, Rosie found it difficult sourcing chic, professional wear that made her feel stylish whilst conforming to professional standards – this is where the dream of White Collar began.”
The brand has launched two ranges, with blazers, shirts, waistcoats and other formal items available on the website currently.
Does Love Island’s Rosie Williams have a boyfriend or husband?
Following the revelation that former flame and Love Island contestant Adam Collard was appearing on the show again, fans flocked to Rosie Williams’ social media to ask her about the move.
In a question and answer session she did on Instagram, the reality star was asked if she would go back into the villa.
Williams said she would’ve if she was younger and single, and her Instagram story highlights show her holidaying with her partner who appears to be former flame and banker Wayne Davies.
The pair can be seen standing side by side in Verona attending a wedding, with one snap also showing her kissing her beau on the cheek.
In answer to the question, she added: “I am at a different stage in my life & feel like I’ve really grown as a person in the last 4 years.
“I’m really enjoying focusing on different aspects of my career & I don’t believe in going backwards.”
She was also asked about her thoughts surrounding Collard’s return to the show as a bombshell, to which she replied “I think everyone who’s ever watched love island was completely shocked as they’ve never done this before.
“I was just about to go to sleep & my phone blew up haha! Wouldn’t be my first choice of a bombshell to bring back but hey ho!”
