There's Love Island drama hours before the big All Stars final as Grace Jackson's alleged text messages from before the show started were 'shared online'. There are just five couples left ahead of this evening's finale, including Grace and Luca Bish, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard, Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman, Catherine Agbaje and Omar Nyame and Elma Pazar and Sammy Root. It seems Grace, who is the bookes' favourite to win the reality show, has always been very, very keen to get her hands on the prize. Messages circulating on TikTok and Instagram claim to show Grace saying: “I am being dead serious we can bet on it. I will win this.” A second one read: “I’ll do anything to..I can with this time gurl. In it to win it babe.”.
But the drama doesn't stop there. Someone else has shared a screenshot appearing to be from Luca’s mum. In the exchange having a pop at ex Islander Olivia Hawkins, who wrecked havoc as she accused Grace of sending damning texts ahead of her bombshell debut. ITV declined to comment when approached by the Mirror. According to The Tab, the message reportedly read: “Liv you told me you wouldn’t stop at anything to get with Luca when he left the island. So this is interesting.” Luca and Grace had met only just a handful of times before entering the villa. Both stars were close to MMA fighter Conor McGregor, with them even posing in the same photo.
The drama is only just starting - and we're in for plenty more this evening as the winners are announced. But how will the messages impact the result? Odds have been revealed ahead of the final, with Grace and Luca the favourite to win at 4/6 and Ekin-Su and Curtis and Gabby and Casey following with odds of 2/1 and 3/1 respectively. Catherine and Omar follow far behind on 16/1. Elma and Sammy follow further behind that with 25/1 and thus are the least likely to win. Will Grace and Luca go on to seal the crown? Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "It's been non-stop drama in the villa this series, and with three couples well in with a chance of going all the way tonight, we wouldn't be surprised to see a few more twists and turns before close of play.".
Luca found a connection with Gemma Owen in the 2022 villa yet they split up three months later, meaning he wasn't with her when the photo was taken. Grace hadn't been on Love Island yet as she entered the show in 2024 before returning for All Stars this year. Like this story?
