Love Island's Lucinda Strafford enjoyed a shopping date with Aaron Francis despite getting back on track with Brad McLelland in recent days.
The 21-year-old fashion brand owner was evicted from the show last week, along with events manager Aaron, 24, who she was coupled up with at the time.
Just days after returning back home, Lucinda met up with 26-year-old Brad for a night out in Brighton, later confirming she and Aaron decided not to pursue a romance - despite leaving the show together.
But the pair remain good friends as they hit the shops together following a joint TV interview on Monday's Lorraine.
Taking to his Instagram Story, Aaron shared a short video with Lucinda as they took a sit-down break during their marathon shopping day.
He simply tagged her in the caption, letting their fans know they were hanging out.
Over on Lucinda's Story, she had treated herself to some Gucci trainers and a small pink Louis Vuitton handbag.
"Promise I'm done for the day," she penned alongside the image.
Later on, it appears they went out to fancy four-star Italian restaurant Circolo Popolare together as Lucinda posted a photo of her delicious food to her Story, which Aaron also shared on his.
On Monday's Lorraine, Lucinda admitted she and labourer Brad are enjoying the "early stages" of romance, and are eager to see how things go with each other after they met on the ITV2 dating show.
"Yeah, I met up with Brad. It's still really early stages at the moment but we're seeing where things go," she said to Lorraine's stand-in host Christine Lampard.
"I did have a really good connection with Brad unfortunately the time got cut short, he was so mature and a gentleman. But it's early stages and it's still up in the air at the moment."
Aaron added: "We came out, we were only coupled up for three or four days, when you think about it like that, we're like, 'Calm down guys'."
Lucinda and Brad took the first step to meeting each other over the weekend, as the Northumberland hunk travelled down to Brighton so they could enjoy a night out together.
However things are said to have turned ugly when a rival man reportedly took a shine to Lucinda when he spotted her – with Brad being thrown out of the club they were in following an alleged ‘bust-up’.
The Sun reports that Lucinda had been spotted having “intimate chats” with both Brad and the other man at Shooshh nightclub in Brighton.
They claim “security stepped in and asked labourer Brad to leave at about 2.30am on Sunday night” following the alleged argument.
The report also makes accusations that Brad shouted at his love rival and “bellowed” at Lucinda when she tried to diffuse the situation.
A source told the publication: “It got very ugly. Lucinda was playing with fire and has strong feelings for both lads.
"The men didn’t fancy sharing and it got very heated. Trouble flared again outside when Lucinda and her other enthusiast left at the same time.”
