The two women appear to be very close friends on the outside

JESSY POTTS and Lucinda Strafford fell out big time on Thursday night’s episode of Love Island: All Stars, with the two women screaming at one another in a heated exchange.

Jessy referenced the two knowing each other outside of the villa, but it looks like the pair actually had a close relationship if social media is anything to go by.

The girls have spent plenty of time with one another as they were on a brand trip together in the US in September 2024 before embarking on a second free holiday to Bali the following month.

Lucinda previously shared a TikTok on her page of the two women and called Jessy her “best friend”.

In the clip, Jessy is seen braiding Lucinda’s hair as they sit in a car.

She wrote over it: “Your best friend is jealous while mine is keeping me pretty.”

Jessy also shared her own TikTok of them crossing a road in America as they twin with matching curly hairstyles.

She said: “You’re not sad, you just need a holiday with your bestie.”

Lucinda commented on it and said: “LOVE U BBY,” with love heart emojis as her pal liked her comment.

Fans have been since commenting on the videos, confused about why the two women have kept their closeness outside of the villa a secret.

One Love Island viewer expressed: “Wait nah this can’t be right.”

Another person penned: “Omg why’s this coming up on my for you page after tonight.”

Both Jessy and Lucinda also shared several photos and videos on Instagram with each other, including wearing matching pink Minnie Mouse ears at Disneyland and dancing on the beach with one another.

Jessy appeared to brush off the closeness of their friendship when they faced off in yesterday’s episode.

She began: “I know you from the outside, I’ve obviously not seen you in a long time, but I think you’re a lot smarter.”

Lucinda interjected: “What, so you think I’m doing that baby voice on purpose?”

An irate Jessy shot back: “This isn’t even my point, whilst we’re here, it was irrelevant to make that comment. I think you’re better than that.”

Lucinda responded: “No offence, it’s kind of nothing to do with you,” as Jessy screamed: “Neither have half of these situations you’ve been involved in Lucinda.”

Jessy ended up storming off as they weren’t able to resolve the matter at hand.

However, it was far from over, as later in the episode, Sean Stone, who is coupled up with Lucinda, rushed in to defend her to Jessy.

The pair ended up rowing as she told him it was between her and Lucinda, not him.

The series 11 star then went and sat with Lucinda’s rival, Belle Hassan as she began crying over the argument with Sean.

This got Belle’s back up as she lashed out at Lucinda and Sean for creating drama in the villa.

Meanwhile, Lucinda was confiding in pal Millie Court about the situation as she too began crying.

Millie comforted her and told her not to go over to Jessy and Belle as it would make the situation worse.

Love Island: All Stars continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
