Love Island's Lucy finally reveals truth about 'game plan' voice note she sent plotting to pair up with Tommy - and Maya Jama has a BRUTAL response
The pair - who met during Casa Amor - were booted off the ITV2 show after Shakira Khan, 22, and Ty Isherwood, 23, picked them to go home earlier this month.
Tommy was previously in a couple with Emily Moran, 24, and before that he seemed very smitten with Megan Forte Clarke, 24.
But while Lucy was in the villa, an alleged voice note revealed how she planned to couple up with Tommy as a way of getting to the final.
Presenter Maya Jama, 30, addressed the situation on Sunday's episode of Aftersun.
Lucy said: 'So obviously, like, we've probably all done it... sent voicenotes to friends and obviously I really did trust that friend and with the Tommy situation, I was obviously saying he's a very nice boy and that's why I wanted to get to know him.
'I did say till the end, but it weren't the final, I meant the end... I would like to be with him in the future.
'Someone with really good morals and also before going on the show, my dad did say to me he's the kind of boy he'd like me to bring home because he's very respectful.'
Tommy then chimed in and said: 'You said as well, at the time, we're all just characters on the screen to her.
'I know you were very excited to be going on one of the biggest reality show's in the country... emotions were high and you were speaking to one of your close friends.
'I think it's been blown out of proportion a little bit because I've said things to my friends in group chats, which if got leaked, it might have made me look like a bad person, but it's just to your mate, you never expect everyone to listen to it.'
Maya brutally retorted: 'That's definitely not a good friend. I hope you blocked her after that.'
Apparently speaking to her friend, she can be heard saying: 'I feel like if I'm with Tommy I'll get all the way to the end cause everyone loves him.'
Last week Maya grilled dumped Islander Emily as she broke her silence on the alleged voice note ' exposing Lucy ' and her plan to seduce Tommy
Tommy originally coupled up with Megan (pictured) - but the Irish beauty was voted off the show and he moved on with Emily
Emily said: 'I did see that voice note.'
She continued: 'So I really cared about Tommy and the fact someone might be using him, really like, breaks my heart to be honest because he's such a good person.
'The fact she's gone in, she's broke up something that could have been so good as well, don't get me wrong, we had a long way to go, but it was getting somewhere nice and I think she's broke up that up just to get to the final or stay in there.'
Emily added: 'And I do respect it as a Casa girl, like you've got to get in there, but he's a good person with feelings and I just know when he sees that he's not going to be... like, would you want that?'
Maya then interjected: 'Nobody wants to hear something like that. Well, I mean, who's to know what's gonna happen in the future?
'Maybe if he comes out anytime soon, you can have a little word. Who knows?'
Elsewhere in the Aftersun episode, fans all had the same complaint after Harrison Solomon and Lauren Wood reunited on Sunday's episode of Aftersun after their explosive double exit.
Friday's instalment of the ITV2 show saw Harrison, 22, leave the villa after Lauren Wood, 26, got booted out after bombshell Angel Swift, 26, decided to couple up with her man Ty Isherwood, 23.
Harrison's stint in the villa has seen him crack on with a number of the girls.
He originally coupled up with Toni Laites, 25, but wanted to also get to know Helena Ford, 29, and after deciding to give it a go with Toni, he brought Lauren back to the main villa from Casa Amor.
The footballer then got into a very confusing and complicated love triangle with Toni and Lauren - and this angered fans, with Women's Aid even releasing a statement about his behaviour.
Harrison decided to leave the villa a day after Lauren and they reunited on screen during the latest episode of Aftersun.
Speaking about his decisions in the villa, Harrison told presenter Maya Jama: 'I think maybe when we did bits... Probably took it a little bit too far talking to Toni after that.
'I obviously regret that massively and I apologise to both the girls but, yeah, it wasn't good for me.'
Those watching at home were not impressed with his apology.
One wrote on X: 'Lol im glad no one clapped at Harrison's poor excuse of an apology #LoveIsland.'
'The silence in the studio while Harrison is talking is awkward #loveisland.'
'Oh Indiyah does not believe a word Harrison says.'
'Harrison was left off far too lightly there kmt poor interview, and his face at the end said it all.. he wants Toni back now �� #LoveIsland.'
Many rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share how unimpressed they were with Harrison's apology
'Maya didn't grill Harrison enough for me kmt #loveisland.'
It comes after Harrison broke his silence on his love triangle with Lauren Wood and Toni Laites after abruptly quitting the villa.
Speaking for the first time after his exit, Harrison reflected on the love triangle drama, which saw Toni left devastated after she learned he had slept with Lauren twice.
'I was relatively new to the Villa so I wanted to explore connections and I came to the conclusion that Toni was the better suit for me.
'Then when I went to Casa there was an instant spark and connection with Lauren, I knew from day one there was something special there.
'When I came back from Casa something in the back of my mind was still thinking about Toni.
'If I had left with Lauren when Shakira had the choice to send me home, I think I would've always regretted not giving me and Toni one final go as we left on good terms before Casa.
'That's the reason I gave a little speech before the recoupling on the Terrace. As soon as I did that, I felt terrible towards Lauren.
'For two days, I tried to go tunnel vision with Toni but there was something holding me back.'
Harrison took to Instagram on Sunday to share a message with fans.
He said: 'Back on home turf and carrying every lesson with me. What a whirlwind, confusing, raw, beautiful in parts, and deeply humbling.
'I entered with the intention not to hurt anyone.
'Truthfully, although I didn't manage that, I leave with a heart more open, and a soul willing to learn.
'Life isn't always easy, it's felt, it's flawed, it's full of growth.

How to get two theme park visits for the price of one this summer
The cost of summer holiday activities can quickly add up, which is why we're always on the hunt for cost-effective ways to have fun. Case in point: if you're looking for a cheap family day out this summer, we've found a deal that will save on theme park visits. Until Sunday 17 August, when you book a ticket for Alton Towers, Chessington, Legoland Windsor or Thorpe Park, you'll get a ticket for a second visit for free. This doesn't mean visiting the same theme park twice, as it can be used at any of the four parks. In order to qualify, you'll need to pre-book a 'twice the fun' ticket to get your hands on the freebie. You'll then receive a confirmation email with a barcode, which you can use to make your second booking, so keep this handy. The second ticket is valid until Tuesday, 30 September, so there is plenty of time to squeeze in a second visit. It is rare for a free ticket offer to come along, particularly during peak season. Advanced tickets to the theme parks typically start from around £34, so if you're visiting as a family, that's a chunky saving for your second visit. You can book your visit using the links below, or keep reading if you want more inspiration on which of the theme parks to visit this summer. Alton Towers If you've got little thrill-seekers to entertain this summer, Alton Towers is worth a visit. There are nine roller coasters to enjoy, including the Toxicator, which is new for 2025, while younger kids can head to the rides and attractions in CBeebies Land. Alton Towers is located outside of Stoke-on-Trent, so if you're based in the north of England, this is likely to be your nearest major theme park. Chessington World of Adventures There are plenty of adventures for kids of all ages to enjoy at Chessington, with rides inspired by the fantasy board game Jumanji, the tales of the Gruffalo and more. Your ticket also includes a visit to the park's zoo and aquarium, with the chance to see penguins, giraffes, monkeys and zebras. The park is based just outside of London, and there are regular train services running from the capital to Chessington South, which is around a 10-minute walk away. Legoland Windsor There are more than 50 rides and attractions to enjoy at Legoland Windsor. Kids can cool off on a hot day in the splash safari water play park, hop aboard the Lego submarine as part of the deep-sea adventure, get behind the wheel at the Lego driving school and lots more. The theme park is two miles outside of Windsor town centre, with shuttle services available from nearby train stations. Thorpe Park If you or your youngsters can't get enough of roller coasters, a visit to Thorpe Park is a must. The theme park is home to Hyperia, the UK's tallest and fastest rollercoaster, plus five other rides for those that want an adrenaline-filled day out. There are also plenty of rides and play areas for little ones, so the whole family can enjoy the day. The theme park is located in Chertsey, which is about 30 minutes outside of London, with shuttle buses running to the park from nearby train stations.

Beloved ITV detective show slapped with 'trigger warning' for crime scenes in 'woke' move
ITV 's Inspector Morse has been slapped with a 'trigger warning' in a move that has been branded ' woke '. The popular series now features a pre-warning for crime scenes throughout the show, which seems to have caused a stir with people online. The streaming giant also advises there are 'satanic images' in one episode of the drama. It then has a parental lock on the episode, titled Day of the Devil. Inspector Morse first aired from 1987 to 2000, with a total of eight series. Other episodes also feature a warning over crime and violence. The popular series now features a pre-warning for crime scenes throughout the show, which seems to have caused a stir with people online Speaking about the update, Senior MP Sir Alec Shelbrooke slammed: 'This is another example of soft-touch Britain seeping into everything. 'We're just going to be laughed at as a country if things like this continue, because nobody's prepared for the real world where there are no.' Daily Mail has contacted ITV for comment. In the past, it has said about general alerts: 'Programming that contains politically sensitive or distressing themes, content, or language has carried appropriate warnings since our launch.' Just a few weeks ago, Netflix bosses axed an iconic moment from Pride and Prejudice to avoid 'objectifying men'. The unforgettable scene of Mr Darcy - played by Colin Firth - emerging from a lake was all the rage in 1995. But show bosses have confirmed it will not resurface in the forthcoming version of the rom-com. According to reports, many fans will be disappointed as the famous BBC scene is said to have 'got millions of women hot under the collar'. A source told The Sun: 'It is also credited for sparking subsequent moments of male objectification on screen - likes Aidan Turner's famous topless scything scene in Poldark.' It's claimed that Netflix bosses 'don't want a repeat'. The saucy scene soon became one of the most favourite TV scenes, however it didn't actually feature in Jane Austen's original 1813 story. Arguably the most iconic wet shirt ever worn sold at auction for £25,000 - double its estimated sale price.
