Love Island 's Lucinda Strafford has been accused of having a footballer boyfriend back home who's looking after her dog while she flirts with other men in the villa.
Lucinda, 21, entered the ITV2 dating show as a bombshell and coupled up with Brad McClelland, only to have her intentions questioned when they were forced to choose between them which one would be dumped from the island.
When he offered to sacrifice himself, she quickly agreed and said that she hadn't known Brad for long enough to leave the villa with him, leading to fans wondering if she was on the show to look for love or fame.
Last night, she coupled up with new arrival Danny Bibby, but is getting to know Aaron Francis as well.
But now, it's claimed she has a boyfriend - Brighton & Hove Albion player Aaron Connolly - who is waiting for her at home and considers her to be his girlfriend.
It's reported that the Premier League star is taking care of Lucinda's pet dog, and that he even dropped her off at the airport for her flight to Majorca to take part in the show.
An insider told The Sun : "Lucinda and Aaron reconciled before she went on Love Island. It was meant to be a big secret because there are strict rules about it.
"No one wants to watch a dating show where the stars are really pining for lovers back home.
"Aaron was only too happy looking after Lucinda’s dog. It makes him feel like they are still the couple they are."
However, a source close to the show insisted that Lucinda is single.
Now she's caught in a love triangle with Danny and Aaron F, having told them both she wants to continue to get to know the other one.
On last night's show, tensions were high after Aaron F tried to kiss her in front of Danny's face.
Danny later confronted his love rival, and said that while he understands he needs to make Lucinda aware of how he feels, he disrespected Danny by making a move on her on their first night as a couple.
Meanwhile, Sharon Gafka became the latest person to be dumped from the villa.
She was left single after new girl AJ and the boys chose who they wanted to couple up with.
The Mirror has contacted Love Island and Brighton & Hove Albion for comment.
