Love Island star announces her pregnancy as she shares gender reveal during Dubai holiday

Love Island star Sammy May James, who appeared as one of the stunning Casa Amor bombshells in 2023, is pregnant with her first baby and showed off her bump as she sweetly announced the gender.

The reality star, 29, shared a carousel of images in a black bikini with her bump clearly on show while on holiday in Dubai. In one snap, she is seen sweetly cradling her bump, and in another, she has her hands on her hips and is grinning from ear to ear.

Sammy couldn’t look happier as she cosied up to her partner, Jamie Hannon and announced the gender of their bundle of joy. The former TV star captioned the post: "Halfway to holding her,” revealing that she is going to be a girl mom.

Last month, Sammy sent her followers into a frenzy when she shared the announcement on social media that she was pregnant. She shared a sweet clip of her ultrasound along with a picture of the scan. She captioned the announcement: "Half of me, half of you - due January 2026."

Friends and fans rushed to send their congratulatory messages as fellow Love Island star Rosie Seabrook wrote: "Omg so happy for you girly”, while Brad Howard commented: "Beautiful mate," with a red heart emoji.

A third follower wrote: “Huge congratulations, Sammy, such amazing news!” while a fourth said: “Amazing news both. Sending love and hugs and can’t wait to see you xxx”.

While Sammy failed to find love in the villa, she did find it in the real world as she met Jamie shortly after leaving the show. She keeps her followers updated on their life together on Instagram and often shares snaps of her holidays.

In 2023, after she appeared on the popular ITV show, Sammy hit out at Love Island bosses for "editing" her out of the series as she opened up in a juicy Instagram Q&A.

In response to a fan asking her if anything ‘surprised her’ about going into the villa, she said: "Omg yes! Just how highly produced and edited the show is. I mean I wasn't naive going in, I'm a switched on girl. I knew this was the case, but I guess you never fully understand until you see yourself. Unfortunately, I can't talk about this until my contract ends after June.”

Warning viewers, she added: “Just take everything with a pinch of salt when watching."

She also cleared up the rumours that the Casa girls were ‘nasty’ as another follower asked: "Why were the Casa girls so nasty about the OG girls?".

Sammy set the record straight and said: "No one was nasty. In fact we all spoke highly about the OG girls but it was all edited out so we came across like mean girls."
