Love Island fans just finding out Casa Amor star was on X Factor
Love Island beauty Yasmin Broom has been turning heads in the Casa Amor villa - but she's no stranger to fame as she was in a girl band which split after lockdown Love Island stunner Yasmin Broom has spilled the beans on her pop past, revealing she was once part of a girl band. The 26-year-old Manchester beauty is among the six bombshells set to shake things up in the Casa Amor villa. But Yas isn't new to the spotlight; she graced our screens on ITV's The X Factor back in 2016. Yas was part of Four of Diamonds with Caroline Alvares, Lauren Rammell, and Sophia Saffarian, who made it to the live shows on the hit talent show. Post-X Factor, the group landed a global record deal with EMI, marking them as the first girl band to do so since the iconic Spice Girls, reports OK!. In Monday's (July 7) Love Island episode, Yas opened up to Giorgio Russo about her musical journey: "I spent a bit of time in London, like four years. "Before I was a DJ I was a singer, in a grid band. We were on The X Factor. We came eighth place." Giorgio probed about the band's breakup, to which Yas disclosed: "Lockdown, cause we just couldn't perform or anything." Fans were gobsmacked by Yas' revelation, taking to social media to express their astonishment. On X, previously known as Twitter, one viewer exclaimed: "Just found out that this Casa Amor girl was on the X Factor in the girl group Four of Diamonds in 2016. I knew I've seen her face before." Another fan reminisced: "I used to love four of diamonds." A third chimed in: "FOUR OF DIAMONDS MENTION YES YAZ #loveislanduk #loveisland." A fourth social media user exclaimed: "She was in FOUR OF DIAMONDS ? ? ? #LoveIsland." Another chimed in: "YAZ MENTIONED THE X FACTOR AND FOUR OF DIAMONDS! real ones were obsessed with them at one point #LoveIsland". After scoring a record deal, the girl group Four of Diamonds released their debut single 'Name On It', collaborating with Afrobeats star, Burna Boy, and followed up with tracks like 'Stupid Things' featuring Saweetie and 'Blind'. In 2019, the band warmed up arenas for Rita Ora's UK tour and graced television screens with appearances on Blue Peter and Britain's Got More Talent. They kept up the momentum by dropping more tunes through 2019 and 2020 and inked a new contract with Fascination Records before parting ways not long after. Since the band's split, Yasmin carved out a solo career as a DJ, spinning at numerous UK festivals including Manchester's Parklife, before jetting off to Love Island.
