Samie Caroline W. Elishi was born on 15 February 2000 in Islington, London[1] to a Moroccan father and an English-Welsh mother.[2] Prior to appearing on television, Elishi worked as a senior estate agent coordinator.[3] In January 2023, she became a contestant on the ninth series of the ITV2 reality series Love Island.[4] She entered the villa as a "bombshell" on Day 12, and during the series was coupled up with Kai Fagan and Tom Clare, the latter of whom she reached the final alongside and finished in third place.[5][6] They entered a relationship during the show, however announced their split in April 2023.[7][8] In May 2023, Elishi underwent tests for thyroid cancer after Love Island viewers spotted a lump on her neck during her time in the villa.[9] She subsequently had the lump removed and was ultimately informed it was a benign tumour and was not cancerous.[10][11]
In February 2025, it was announced that Elishi would return to Love Island, two years after her original appearance, to appear as a contestant on the second series of Love Island: All Stars. She again entered the villa as a "bombshell" on Day 22 of the series alongside Chuggs Wallis.[12] She returned a year later for the third series, entering as a bombshell on Day 3 and ultimately winning the show with Ciaran Davies.[13] The couple announced the end of their relationship just three weeks after the final.[14]
