It’s no secret what a fan of ‘Love Island’ Stormzy is (his cameo appearance on last year’s series even scooped a Bafta nomination) and despite being more famous and successful than all of this year’s Islanders, it seems even someone as big as Stormzy can get starstuck by reality TV contestants. 

The rapper was filmed getting over excited after bumping into recent evictees Jack Fowler and Laura Crane at Stansted Airport. 

The pair had flown back to the UK after being dumped from the villa earlier this week, while Stormzy had just returned from a birthday getaway in Spain with girlfriend Maya Jama (and a plane full of pals). 

The trio were caught on camera after randomly meeting in the arrivals hall of the airport on Thursday. 

“Just got off my flight to see new Jack from Love Island meeting Stormzy ??!!??” one fan wrote on Twitter, as she shared a video of their greeting.  

Stormzy has provided regular - and often hilarious - commentary of this year’s series of ‘Love Island’ on social media, and has even defended himself from those who criticise his fandom. 

Posting on Instagram Stories recently, he wrote: “BREAKING NEWS: Asking me why I watch love island and telling us everyday that you don’t watch Love Island doesn’t actually make you any tougher in real life.”

We couldn’t have put it better ourselves. 

Where have you seen this year's 'Love Island' contestants before?

If you're a theatre-lover, the chances are you'll have seen Samira in London's West End at some point or another, performing in shows including 'Mamma Mia!' and, more recently, 'Dreamgirls'.

She also appeared in the live-action remake of Disney's 'Beauty And The Beast' last year. (credit:ITV)

For four years, Eyal was a member of the pop group EverYoung who - in his words - "had small-time success", "toured the country" and created "fan-girl hysteria".

Since the group split in 2015, Eyal now serves as a model, and you may have seen him and his curly locks in Zara Larsson's 'Lush Life' music video. (credit:ITV)

Arguably the most prolific of this year's 'Love Island' contestants, Dani is best known thanks to her famous dad, 'EastEnders' actor and descendant of Edward III, Danny Dyer.

Reality superfans may also remember her from her brief-but-memorable stint on the ill-fated 'Love Island' successor 'Survival Of The Fittest' earlier this year. (credit:ITV)
Kendall Rae-Knight(04 of06)

It's not uncommon for models to wind up staying in the 'Love Island' villa, but Kendall's career path is a rather non-traditional one.

Having previously landed the title of Miss North West in 2015, Kendall then made it to the final of Miss England that same year, but bowed out of the pageant world shortly afterwards. (credit:ITV)

In her introductory interview, 21-year-old model Hayley reveals she's posed for a number of fashion brands, and even appeared in an ad for ITVBe.

A bit of digging from The Sun also revealed that she has a connection with a fair few former 'Love Island' stars, counting Scott Thomas and Chris Hughes among her friends. (credit:ITV)
Laura Anderson(06 of06)

Flight attendant Laura Anderson told 'Love Island' producers that her claim to fame is the celebs she's served over the course of her career, naming Channing Tatum as her most A-list.

However, she didn't disclose her past as a model for six years (which she does mention on her Bayt profile), while The Sun mentioned a past relationship with an undisclosed sports star and, curiously, the fact she used to go by the name Missy Love.

Intriguing... (credit:ITV)
