Lucinda Strafford has found herself at the center of some controversy following her recent appearance on Love Island: All Stars. The 26-year-old influencer, who has made her fourth appearance on the show, entered the villa in dramatic fashion as a bombshell over the weekend.
In a surprise recoupling event, Lucinda had to quickly make a choice about whom to pair up with. She decided to couple up with Ciaran Davies, a contestant from Wales, just 24 hours after her arrival. However, this decision has sparked some unexpected drama off-screen.
Zac Nunns, Lucinda’s ex-boyfriend whom she met during the 2023 season of Love Island Australia, has made some startling allegations. He claims that Lucinda is not actually single, suggesting she has a boyfriend outside of the show.
After Lucinda’s entrance was televised, Zac took to Snapchat to reveal that their breakup was prompted by her being offered a role on a third dating reality show. This revelation has added a layer of intrigue to Lucinda’s current stint on Love Island, leaving fans to wonder about the true nature of her relationship status.
Taking to his Snapchat Story after her arrival aired, Zac claimed the reason he and Lucinda broke up was because she was approached to star in a third dating reality show.
He went on to claim that Lucinda has now ‘found someone’ who is happy for her to go on dating shows despite being in a relationship – and said everyone in the villa should be made aware ‘that’s the deal’.

In an explosive claim, her ex Zac Nunns – who she dated after the pair met on Love Island Australia in 2023 – has claimed she actually has a boyfriend
He wrote: ‘So as promised, my thoughts on the newest bombshell: It’s always awkward when I am reviewing a season and an ex walks in the door lmao.
‘A big reason we didn’t work was because a third show was on the table while we were still together. So I am genuinely glad she has found someone who is cool for her to do that.
‘Other than that – I think everyone in the villa should know that’s the deal so let’s just enjoy the show.’
Reacting to Zac’s claims, fans wrote on social media: ‘Wait a min what is Zac saying about his ex Lucinda? Is she with somebody now? via his Snapchat,’;
‘Lucinda has a bf on the outside, WTF,’; ‘Nahh if shes got a man GET HER OUT! fgs.’
The Daily Mail has approached ITV and representatives for Lucinda for comment.
In Tuesday’s episode, Lucinda was left open-mouthed after stealing Ciaran Davies at the most recent recoupling backfired.
Last week Lucinda and Curtis Pritchard rocked the villa after entering as the latest bombshells – and they certainly caused a lot of drama.

While Curtis picked Millie Court in the recoupling ceremony, Lucinda went for Samie Elishi’s man Ciaran, and the girls haven’t seen eye to eye since.
After picking Ciaran, she firmly told the Islanders: ‘I’ve come to bombshell’, and Samie clapped back: ‘Clearly.’
However it seems like Ciaran is quite happy to get himself stuck in a love triangle.
In Tuesday’s episode, Millie told her pal Lucinda: ‘So, them two have had a kiss tonight. Do you know that?’
A confused Lucinda asks her who she meant, to which Lucinda says: ‘Ciaran and Samie.’
Lucinda was furious that Samie and Ciaran had kissed on the daybed behind her back and appeared to end things with him – only to set him a task to win her back the next day.
During Monday night’s episode of the ITV show, tensions grew between the girls after Lucinda decided to steal Ciaran from Samie to be in a couple with.
Samie decided to pull Lucinda for a chat after she heard that Lucinda apparently didn’t tell the girls she was interested in Ciaran to ‘throw them off the scent’.

When confronted by Samie, Lucinda replied: ‘Not sure, I’ve got really bad memory but I don’t remember saying that.’
‘Apparently it was specially aimed at the other girls and I was like I don’t like that, like she shouldn’t have said that,’ Samie said.
Lucinda then called Scott Van-Der-Sluis over, where he doubled down and said Lucinda did say that.
A shocked Lucinda then said: ‘I feel like we need to roll the tapes with this.’ To which Scott snapped back: ‘We definitely do need to roll the tapes with this.’
Samie then said: ‘Look I considered you a mate of mine in the industry, like I do.’
Lucinda replied: ‘Yeah we went to Tulum together on a brand trip and we had a blast and it was funny and hilarious, but all since then, when was the last time we texted?
‘No, I don’t mean that in a rude way saying we aren’t friends, obviously we are friends, we went to Tulum together, but do you know what I mean? I’m literally just saying I haven’t spoken to you in almost a year. I’m not fu**ing making that up.’
Samie replied: ‘But I see you, we talk little bits, little bits, and I see you just as a friend.’
Lucinda confronted Samie over not being invited to her party, as outside feuds spill into the villa during a tense chat about the Ciaran love triangle

Lucinda said: ‘Yeah, but I wouldn’t know what you’re doing with your life, who you’re dating, what you’re doing, where you are, who you’re friends with. I wouldn’t know anything personal whatsoever.’
‘If the shoe was on the other foot… I have this problem anyway, I hold friends in higher regard than what they are,’ Samie said.
Lucinda interjected: ‘So do I, and I get upset when things like, ‘we’re not friends, I thought we were friends,’ but obviously you had your dinner party and I wasn’t invited to that.’ ‘What dinner party? My launch?’ Samie asked.
She continued: ‘Yeah, I wasn’t invited to that. I also felt like you were digging on me over Snapchat about a dress. Obviously I love you. At the end of the day I’m not arguing with you over Ciaran.’
Samie clarified: ‘It’s just the little comment I didn’t appreciate, and with Ciaran he knows to keep me in the loop and that’s on him. If you tell me you didn’t say it, then I’m actually going to take your word on it.’
Lucinda replied: ‘I wouldn’t have said anything in a malicious way about you or the girls or the whole fu**ing Ciaran situation. If you didn’t say it, you didn’t say it.’ ‘Fair,’ Samie said.
