LOVE Island winner Samie Elishi has revealed why she will never make up with show rival Lucinda Strafford.

The pair locked horns during their time in the ITV2 All Stars show and have been embroiled in a bullying row after Lucinda claimed she was ‘isolated’ during the show.

Now, Samie says there’s “no going back” following Lucinda’s recent comments.

“There’s no relationship there. I think she knows that,” began Samie as she spoke to The Sun at lip care brand Carmex’s Love Story event.

She continued: “I think when you go on such a high platform and make such a huge statement that people are bullying you, bully is a strong word and we know in this industry it’s not on.

“It’s completely false, confirmed by the execs

“Like, that didn’t happen. There’s no coming back from that though, there’s no friendship.”

Samie continued to say that she reached “breaking point” with Lucinda during her time in the villa.

The stint saw the duo initially fall out over Ciaran Davies, who Lucinda made a beeline for inside the villa despite his romance with Samie.

Things escalated when Lucinda threw a cream pie in Samie face during the show’s Snog, Marry, Pie game, and later laughed at her co-star when they attempted to debrief on what went on.

Looking back on the moment, Samie said: “I gave as much grace as I could in there until it got to a kind of breaking point.

“It’s hard, you see an hour out of 24 hours and there’s little things – we were getting constantly poked and poked, like poking the bear.”

Away from her drama with Lucinda, Samie is smitten with partner and fellow winner Ciaran.

During our chat, she has just returned from a trip to his family home in Wales, and is preparing to welcome him back to London very soon.

“Ciaran is going to be staying in London for one month with the USA boys, they’ve got a five bedroom Airbnb and they’re moving in there for the month,” she revealed.

And the long holiday is actually a trial run for a potential move to the capital, says Samie.

“That month in the Airbnb with the USA boys will determine whether Ciaran definitely wants to move from Wales to London,” said Samie.

“He does want to but he needs to try it out first, I think he’ll love it though.”
