Uma’s sister breaks silence after watching her walk off Love Island and reveals who she’s backing to win show now

UMA Jammeh’s sister has broken her silence following her shock Love Island exit.

The star was left sobbing as she made the decision to quit the ITV2 show after her partner Wil Anderson was savagely dumped.

Despite the couple going through a rocky patch, Uma was able to forgive Wil for his Casa Amor antics and decided to stick by him after confessing to “falling in love” with her villa partner.

Now the TV beauty’s sister, Peta, has spoken out for the first time since she opted to walk away from the Majorcan compound.

Writing on Instagram, Peta said: “I would like to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart for loving my baby sister as much as I do!

“My mother and I are so unbelievably proud of how strong she has remained throughout this entire process; she’s upheld her standards and has followed her moral compass from the start to the finish line.”

Uma’s adoring sister went on to add: “I have read all of your lovely messages and relayed them to my mother and I would like to personally thank you all for your kind words.

“She [Uma] has been a ray of sunshine since the moment I first laid eyes on her and now she will shine for the whole world to see.”

In a light-hearted end to her gushing post, Peta then revealed who she was backing to take the crown in Uma’s absence.

She revealed that the show’s newest couple Mimii and Josh were her winners as she declared: “Oh, and by the way, it is Mimii and Josh for the win!”

After taking the dramatic decision to walk out alongside Wil, the star opened up about why she really felt that know was the right time to leave the programme for good.

Revealing the reason behind her exit, Uma said: “I knew where my head and heart was at and it’s with Wil so I wanted to be true to my feelings for him.”

Uma also shared her and Wil’s plans for their relationship once they get back to reality.

She continued: “We can’t wait to just do normal things on the outside, stay inside and have a takeaway and go on cute dates.

“Wil wants to take me to Whitley Bay to see where he’s from but we’ve also discussed him possibly moving to London so I’m looking forward to the future with him. The only way is up from here.”
