Love Island's Lucy reveals truth behind voicenote as she admits she DID send message to ex pal
LOVE Island's Lucy has finally revealed the truth behind the mystery voicenote that exposed her as a "gameplayer". The Sun revealed last week a 37-second recording, where she plots to couple with popular Tommy Bradley as a surefire way to make the final. 3 3 Tommy and Lucy were savagely dumped from the villa last Monday. The pair joined Maya Jama on Love Island Aftersun tonight to address the infamous voicenote that has gone viral on social media. Lucy explained: "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." The Liverpudlian then apologised for her "rude" comments about Megan after she branded her a "f**king little slapper". Lucy continued: "Obviously to talk about Megan as well, I should never have commented on someone I'd never met before, so I do really apologise about that because I'm not that type of girl and it was very rude of me to do that as well." Tommy then tried to defend Lucy following the backlash she's since received. He told Maya: "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. Watch Love Island Helena's fuming reaction as Harry rates ex Emma's kiss better than hers in saucy challenge "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 insisted: "That's definitely not a good friend, I hope you blocked her after that." Lucy admitted she's no longer pals with the person who leaked it. The voice note, which was revealed last Friday, said: "I've got a phone call today by the way, saying they want to fly me out on Tuesday or Monday. "So they said to me on Sunday they'll let me know for 100 percent, but looks like I'm f**king going on one of those days. So they were like, get your stuff packed basically. "I was like, I'm already packed love. They asked me for my top three boys. "I said, Tommy, I want Tommy. I feel like if I'm with Tommy I feel like I'll get all the way to the end. "Because everyone loves him. I don't know if you've been watching it but that Megan's being sent home and I'm f**king made up. "And she's being sent home because of the way she's treated Tommy. "And do you know what, I'm made up that I've been watching it because I know how to act. "Because she's being a f**king little slapper in there. "The public have voted her out. So I just need to be left a nice girl and just f**king stick with Tommy." Irish beauty Megan Forte Clarke was axed after her love triangle with Conor Phillips and Tommy led her to be voted one of the three least popular girls by the public. The contestants then chose to evict her, along with Remell Mullins as the least popular boy. After Casa Amor, Lucy walked into the main villa holding hands with smitten Tommy, who dumped Emily Moran to be with her. Emily was left shell-shocked having stayed loyal to Tommy and given a heartfelt speech in which she said she couldn't wait to see him. Tommy told the gathered Islanders how he had a better connection with Lucy; the pair had spent the past few days glued together sharing lots of kisses. Sheepish Lucy admitted it was difficult entering the villa in such a "s****y situation". When host Maya Jama told the group that Emily was dumped from the Island. 3

Axed Love Island star Gio reveals secret villa feud that's NEVER shown on camera
DUMPED Love Island star Gio has opened up about someone labelled a 'game player' in the villa. Speaking to fellow former Love Islanders Amy Hart and Indiyah Polack on The Morning After podcast, Gio revealed that an Islander has been deemed cunning by more than just one person. 4 4 The official Love Island account asked: "Does Shakira have a game plan? According to Giorgio, some people in the Villa think so." The 30-year-old was asked who he thought Shakira and Ty were going to choose tonight to get dumped from the ITV2 show. Speaking about Shakira, he revealed: 'It's funny because everyone's saying that she's playing a game, so maybe that could go to her head. Amy asked: "Everyone here on the outside or people in the villa?" Singleton Gio responded: 'A couple of people in the villa think that Shakira is playing a game. 'Ben, for a start…' The star didn't go on to divulge who else held the same harsh feelings towards her. Fans commented: "Well if Shakira is playing a game, her game is very interesting." A second added: "It's definitely not just Ben. He said only Ben's name as a cop out. There's more people. I think Meg and Tommy think she's playing a game." A third noted: "Shakira is incredibly bad at whatever game she's playing." Love Island fans demand 'get her out' as Meg has 'final cruel swipe' at rival Andrada "If Shakira was game playing, she would send Conor home but I think she will put herself first and get rid of Tommy," predicted a fourth. "He might, unfortunately, be right about Shakira," another mused. The day after Movie Night, Conor and Shakira headed to the firepit to discuss "uncharted territory". While Shakira and Ty went on to get voted the most compatible couple, she snuck off to the Hideaway for some privacy behind her partner's back. Shakira and Conor decide to revisit their unexplored connection and enjoy some alone time. Afterwards, when the pair returned to the garden, Ty watched on as Conor high-fived some of the other boys. Still single, Gio is among the older islanders on the show this series, bringing a more mature presence to the famous villa. He is the older brother of footballer Alessia Russo, who plays as a forward for Arsenal and England. She is the current holder of the FWA Women's Footballer of the Year award. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX. 4 4

Love Island fans brand Islander the biggest ‘game player' – and it's one of the girls
LOVE Island devotees have credited one of the girls as being the villa's biggest 'game player' - and saluted her mad moves. Fans have commended the upfront female for acting with confidence and conviction - playing the game 'like a man'. 4 4 Viewers took to Reddit to applaud brunette bombshell Yasmin Pettet. One admiring fan wrote: "Yasmin is playing the game like a man. This is why I love her. Her joking with Dejon about a threesome. Followed by the conversations about sex. Meg is so angry, Yasmin and Toni are unbothered and think she is being ridiculous. (I agree). "The Beer Pong game where she kissed both Dejon and Harry? Ben? Women totally bothered and upset that she had the audacity. She shrugs and is like, it's what the card asked me to do. "It's when she pulls Shea the next day for a chat to 'check in' and he's all pi**y that she's mugged him off and embarrassed him, despite them being open and ok with getting to know other people. She could have done it 'more respectful'. "I love it for her. Like I'm really waiting for her to ask one of the men if they are on their period or if they are having 'big feelings'." A second added: "Conversely, having got to know her more I think Yas was playing a role and just saying stuff for shock factor/to spook the girls when she said about coming between married couples and hasn't really done it. "Whereas I 100% believe Helena would target a married man because she gets so much validation from feeling she's been 'chosen' over another woman." "Even if any of what Yas says is true you can tell it doesn't come from a male-centric place whereas Helena it's all for the men. "It seems like Yas says and does what she does because it's what she wants to do in the moment, where Helena does things because it's what she thinks it's what guys want. "Yas hasn't changed too much but Helena continues to get more and more sexual as the show goes on because it's getting attention," noted another. Love Island fans have worked out 'real reason' behind Conor's shock brutal recoupling decision A fourth penned: "I will be obsessed for life if she reveals she is doing it for research or a thesis." "And the irony is she's turned out to be one of the biggest girls' girls in there and she's not even trying to force that image that's just who she is," noted another. "I love watching her, she's become one of my favourite all-time Islanders. "Came in with no mission of gaining the 'favourite girl' by being a 'girls' girl, nice girl', and instead had her guns blazing with blunt comments embracing her sexuality and unbothered by harsh p***es aimed to humiliate and 'tame' her to be more trad. "I don't think she expected to go far in the game and was probably anticipating to be dumped earlier, but here she is almost to the finish line of the game." "Will she find love there? Probably not. Was she looking for love in there? Probably not. "Did she go on for influencer fame? Probably not with just 27K Instagram followers and 10 total posts and no TikTok posts. Did she go on Love Island just to experience it? I think so," remarked a fan. Show fans previously accused her of being planted by producers, ranting 'she CANNOT be real!' Due to her outrageous antics, fans were convinced Yasmin was a Love Island 'mole' and had been put in the villa by producers to stir things up. She asked Dejon for a threesome, propositioned Harry and talked non stop about sex - despite saying she had only slept with two men. Fans previously branded Yasmin "the real villain" of the villa and slammed her when Shea picked her over Toni and Malisha. They were called out as being "fake" and should have been "sent home". Not too much is known about Londoner Yasmin, as she's wiped her social media accounts. The 24-year-old hails from London and works as a commercial banking executive — a career that sets her apart from many of the Love Island 2025 contestants. Yasmin said previously she is 'looking for a guy who is fit, has a nice body and who is funny with a bit of banter'. . 4 4
