Love Island star Liberty Poole has confirmed she had an 'intimate chat' with Hugo Hammond in the villa.
The 21-year-old waitress-turned-reality-star opened up about their conversation after being asked by fans whether Hugo's recent revelation that they got to know each other was true or not.
Hugo told Closer that he and Lib had a chat when her then-boyfriend Jake Cornish spoke to bombshell Millie Court when she made her entrance.
It's thought Lib was 'exploring her options' while Jake got to know Essex babe Millie.
"When I got back I spoke to my family and I said, 'Oh did you see that Lib pulled me for a chat when Jake had a chat with Mills?' and I don't think it was shown, but me and Lib had a chat," Hugo told the publication.
Fellow islander Lucinda Strafford, who joined in with the tell-all interview, added: "She was exploring her options, wasn't she?"
Hugo replied: "Yeah, I think so."
Over on Instagram during her first Q&A, Lib set the record straight as fans pestered her over the 'intimate chat' with PE teacher Hugo.
"I heard about that secret chat with Hugo, was there anything there?" one person asked.
She responded: "This 'intimate chat', it was literally just me and Hugo sat down. I was like, 'What do you do?'"
Explaining that the pair will never be more than friends, Liberty continued: "Blah blah blah. It was very much just friends, there was no sexual chemistry there between us.
"I love Hugo as a mate, but that's all the chat was."
She then captioned the video clip: "All love for Hugo, but we are just friends."
Following on from this, another fan was eager to know who Lib would have coupled up with if she didn't find love with Jake.
"This is such a good question," she answered. "I think because I was so, like, tunnel vision for Jake from the start, I sort of shut myself off to everyone else because me and Jake just got on so well.
"So it's hard to say but I think definitely someone with a bubbly personality and someone who likes deep chats!"
A third fan then asked: "Do you regret spending all your time in the villa with Jake?" after the pair split just days before the grand final.
Proving she has no regrets, Lib replied: "Once I'm into someone, I'm all for them. That's just the way I work.
"And although we had our downs, I also learned so much about myself, so I feel like everything happened the way it was meant to, and I was meant to go through that."
