We’re racing towards the final of Love Island: All Stars but, just as the couples were getting comfortable, more bombshells have rocked the villa.
Recently dumped Samie Elishi came between Grace Jackson and Luca Bish, with him kissing Samie during a game of Spin The Bottle just moments after Grace asked him not to.
‘You said you wouldn’t kiss her, but you did,’ Grace fumed, before telling Luca, ‘Just shut the f**k up.’
She also hit out at Omar Nyame – who she had a fling with on the show last year – after continuing to discuss Luca’s kiss.
And while Grace’s explosive response split fans of the show, her former Series 11 co-star Nicole Samuel defended her actions when Closer caught up with her for a chat.
What did you think of Grace’s reaction to Luca kissing Samie?
I would have reacted the same way. It’s hard when you’re in there, everything is so intense. Your feelings and emotions are heightened, I can see exactly why she reacted in the way that she did.
Were you surprised by her response at all?
The last time was a totally different experience for her when we were seeing her with Joey [Essex] – this time we’re seeing her falling in love. Last time she was with her ex and this time it’s completely fresh. She is different but in a good way.
Do you think that Grace was right to act the way she did?
Yeah, I think so. Her reaction seems to have divided people but, like I said, things are so heightened in there. Your emotions can get the better of you.
Ronnie Vint and Harriett Blackmore are coupled up at the moment – did you expect those two to get back together?
They’d only recently broken up, so the feelings are still there, I did kind of expect it.
Ronnie is saying he’s closed off, but he has a history of triangles…
His head won’t be turned this time. The fact that he pushed Harriett away has made him realise what he wants.
Harriett is saying she’s still open to getting to know bombshells. Do you believe that, or is she saying it to protect herself?
I can’t speak on her behalf, but I think it’s a bit of both. I think she does want to be with Ronnie, but because of the experience she had last time, Ronnie made it difficult, so she’s too scared to take that step forward.
