Love Island contestant Zachariah Noble has a connection to host Maya Jama, and it's not that they're both bombshells. The 25-year-old personal trainer is not the first in his family to appear on national television, as fame runs in the blood.
Zachariah's half-sister is BBC Radio 1Xtra DJ and MTV UK presenter Snoochie Shy, real name Cheyenne Davide. ITV viewers may remember Snoochie, 29, from her stint in the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! castle back in 2021, when the reality show was being filmed in Wales due to Covid-19 restrictions and concerns.
So how does this link Zac to Maya? Well, Snoochie is friends with the Bristolian Love Island presenter, who is currently presenting her first summer Love Island series after making her debut as host during this year's winter edition.
Earlier this week, Snoochie celebrated her younger brother's arrival to the villa on social media, cheering him on. Maya dropped bombshell Zac into the villa during a dramatic ending to Monday night's opening episode (June 5).
Alongside a string of snaps, showing Snoochie and Zach as kids and soaking up the sun on holiday together, the former I'm A Celeb campmate wrote: "WELL HERE WE GO. MY BABY BRO IS IN THE LOVE ISLAND VILLA !!! GO ZAC."
Snoochie's friendship with Maya is not Zac's only celebrity connection to the show. When Zac first entered the villa, fans were quick to draw similarities between the Londoner and series four contestant, Jack Fowler, claiming they sounded alike and had similar comparisons.
Viewers were then surprised to learn that Jack and Zac are friends. The Love Island stars can be seen posing for a photo that has done the rounds on social media, with one fan claiming: "Jack Fowler walked so Zachariah could run."
