Lucinda wore a cream mini dress, a furry jacket and strappy metallic heels, while Brad looked smart in an all-black outfit accessorised with white trainers.

After she left, she said, "'I have been in contact with Brad, he messaged me saying 'well done', and he's so lovely. I'm sure we will meet up.

"There are absolutely no hard feelings between Brad and me. It was genuinely so upsetting when he left the villa, he was part of the furniture. I like that we're still in contact."

She continued, "Brad and I were quite close. Obviously, we liked each other."

The online fashion boutique owner also spoke out over rumours that she’d had a secret boyfriend before she flew to Majorca.

She denied that she was still together with Aaron Connolly, a Premiership footballer, and rubbished reports that her former boyfriend had driven her to the airport before she appeared on the ITV2 ht show.

She said: 'I am completely and utterly single. Never in a million years would I go on Love Island if I was in a relationship, and I'm sure if I had a boyfriend, he wouldn't be very happy with it either.

We ended quite dramatically at the start of March but then we made friends, and we share a dog, it's a shared dog and he's been looking after it.

'He had no idea I was going on Love Island, and it was a shock to him. Apparently, he drove me to the airport, which is a complete and utter lie, I got a taxi. Hopefully, he's moved on and I definitely have. It was a funny rumour!"
