LOVE Island’s Josh Ritchie blasted Lucinda Strafford for being “f***ing boring” and threw his support behind Samie Elishi after a fiery villa row.

The explosive outburst left Islanders stunned, with tensions boiling over once again and Josh made it clear exactly whose side he’s on.

Josh erupted at Lucinda after a tense moment sparked by Sophie Piper’s challenge question, with the drama quickly spiralling around the firepit.

Even though the challenge question was about Belle and Samie, Lucinda couldn’t help herself from piping up.

Maya Jama asked: “Will Samie tell the truth about what Sophie said about Belle on the video call?”

Sophie appeared to side with Lucinda, claiming what Belle did to Leanne was worse – something Samie feedback to the group.

Lucinda claimed to be friends with Sophie too, and felt like her beef towards Belle was justified.

She said: “You made it clear about what Sophie said about me… you’re saying one side of the sentence.”

But Samie chimed in saying Sophie was one of her best friends and the comment was about her friendship with Belle rather than Lucinda’s situation.

She said: “You didn’t need to hear what she said about Belle because it’s got nothing to do with you… I done it for a reason.”

The pair then argued over who knew Sophie better, with Lucinda adding: “It’s not a competition. I know Sophie as well.”

Leaping to Samie defence, Josh didn’t hold back as he made his feelings crystal clear.

Taking to Snapchat, he wrote: “Kick Her Out, She’s F**king Boring!”

This comes after Lucinda and Sean made it official and now call each other boyfriend and girlfriend.

Sean’s romantic moment on the terrace turned awkward after he confessed his love towards Lucinda, and she didn’t say it back.

Sean said: “I genuinely, really like you. I just f*****g love you.

“I’ve actually come to love you.”

“I can’t. I’m actually going to wet myself,” replied a laughing Lucinda.

However, Lucinda did say it back the next day – but Josh thinks she said it “just to win the show”.

He picked up on the moment and reacted on Snapchat.

He wrote: “How they saying I love you already is wild.”

Josh and Sophie appeared on Love Island: All Stars in 2024 are still together and going strong.

They have celebrated their anniversary, moved in together and shared holidays on social media.

Despite some early split rumours after the show, they are one of the successful couples from the series.

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