It came just hours before Florida-based Leslie sent show fans into a frenzy as she took the long-haul flight to the Mallorca villa.
ITV previously confirmed the return of the very popular Meet The Family segment, set to air in the lead-up to the final.
The feature, which sees Islanders reunited with their family members and friends inside the villa, has long been a staple of the series.
On Tuesday, fans weren't disappointed as Leslie, dressed in a black bandeau dress adorned with a pink petal pattern came to chat to Toni and her Love Island partner, Cach.
Shortly before the reunion, she took to her TikTok page to address the mounting speculation she was taking legal action against the broadcaster.
The rumour started on a Love Island fan page and Leslie said: "My accounts were set to private because I had other stuff to do not because myself and Shakira's mum are suing ITV.
"We are definitely not, that rumour should be put to rest immediately.
"There's even a rumour that she and I were spotted in London together with an attorney, also 100 per cent fake news."
Leslie added: "It is not real.

"I cant wait for you guys to see the episode and we will talk about it."
She then wrapped her chat with the words: "Other than that, I just wanted to reassure you we are all good, just no lawsuit.
"Hope you have a great night."
Toni's mum has been a regular online commenting on the antics on the matchmaking show.

She previously broke down in tears and told how she was "really disappointed" in her daughter after she left Cach and reunited with Harrison.
She then told how she really felt about bombshell Harrison's exit in another clip.
VILLA ENTRY
On Tuesday's episode, Toni was sitting on the terrace, when suddenly she heard her mum Leslie shout: 'Is Toni here? Where's Toni?'
Realising friends and family have come to visit the Villa, Toni raced down the stairs to greet her mum who had flown in from Florida.
Toni's best friend Marielle also made the trip and she joked of being in the Villa: 'It's like meeting our Sims in real life!'
As they caught up, talk turned to her daughter's romantic relationships in the Villa, and Leslie said: 'The Harrison thing - I'd love to know what voodoo spell he put on you.'
Toni replied: 'Sometimes you have to get burned 150 times before you can't get burnt anymore.'
Leslie insisted of Cach: 'You have the most amazing man. His morals, his ethics, his calm demeanour when he is confronted with a bad situation… he is my king.'
Toni laughingly replied: 'No, he's my king - back off!'
FAN FAVE
Toni and Cach have had a bumpy romance so far on the show, hindered by Toni and Harrison's will-they-won't-they situation.
Casa Amor lad Cach is now coupled up with American stunner Toni, despite his embarrassment and tears after she ditched him for Harrison at a previous recoupling.
His sister then grilled Toni on making Cach cry yet despite the awkward chat, fans were elated at Leslie's appearance on-screen.
They praised the American, and her reaction to Toni's man, and one wrote on Instagram: "Toni's mum is a sweetheart !! Cach deserved those words for sure."
A second posted: "Toni's mum has stated EVERY FACT. Cach handled it very well. His parents must be SO SO proud."
A third noted: "Toni's mum, what a beautiful woman she is."
One then added: "Okay that speech from Toni's mom made me tear up a little… Cach what an incredible guy."
Another surmised: "I love this and Toni's mum is so beautiful and she deserves the world."

Love Island's India Reynolds reveals she's found love after All Stars with new boyfriend she met on Hinge
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island star India Reynolds has revealed she's found love after after meeting her new man on dating app Hinge. India, 34, took part on All Stars in January but was dumped from the villa after Tina Stinnes stole Scott Thomas from her in the recoupling. 4 India Reynolds has revealed she's found love after All Stars Credit: Instagram 4 The reality star said she met her new man on dating app Hinge Credit: Instagram 4 India was the first Islander to be dumped from the villa on the All Stars series this year Credit: ITV But it looks like her luck is changing after the brunette beauty decided to jump back into the dating pool after the show. India said: "I was in a long-term relationship and then single for three years, I think I got the fear of dating. "You know when you go on those dates on the show, you feel so awkward. "It just put the first date fear of god into me and I didn't date for ages." Appearing on Olivia Attwood's So Wrong It's Right podcast, the host was keen to find out if she was dating again. India shared that she had initially been blocked from the dating app after it was thought her profile was fake. But after the hiccup, India was back on the site and ready to find love. India revealed: "After I came out of this series, the All Stars in January, I was like 'I need to get my act together' because I haven't dated anyone properly in ages, I'm getting older, I want to have kids... get a move on. "I downloaded Hinge and thought this is going to be great for me and then they deleted my profile for impersonation, they thought it was a fake account. "I had to redownload it and I had to send my passport and go through this whole palaver just to go on a first date with someone." Love Island viewers after star makes VERY rude comment about rival's family member She then shared her excitement of her blossoming new romance, saying: "But I finally got it back, went on a first date and the first guy I went on a date with was really nice. Olivia then asked if she was still dating the mystery man and a smitten India confirmed they were an item. It February India posted a dig at show partner Scott Thomas on her page. The model was dumped from the island alongside Marcel Somerville, but had spent the first week getting closer to Scott. However, their potential romance ground to a halt after a brutal game of Truth or Dare. After India declared him the 'most calculated in the villa', shortly after he saw his head turn towards bombshell Tina Stinnes, Scott didn't look too happy. It prompted him to declare: "That's just given me the ick mate. Big." But the swipe against her doesn't seem to have phased India, and in a TikTok in her car she is seen lipsyncing to a trend saying: "Did I say that? Did I? Do you know what, I don't remember saying that." She wrote across the clip: "Scott after calling me an ick." India was previously hailed the "most beautiful" Love Island contestant - before her beauty secrets were revealed. After leaving the villa, India admitted she had her eye on someone else on the show – but didn't make a move because of their age. "I think if Luca was a bit older then maybe Luca," India exclusively told The Sun. India previously took part on Love Island in 2019, during series five. She entered the villa as a bombshell and reached the final with Ovie Soko, finishing in third place, but the pair split four months after.
