Love Island All Stars contestant Kaz Crossley has shared her opinion on the controversy surrounding Grace Jackson's alleged texts claiming she would "do anything" to win the ITV2 series. On Monday night, Love Island All Star viewers gasped when Casey O'Gorman and Gabby Allen were crowned winners of the 2025 series. It was a close call, with Grace and her other half Luca Bish finishing in second place - but viewers were convinced that the happy couple would take home the £50,000 after their love blossomed while in the villa.
According to Olivia Hawkins, Grace had sent text messages to a mystery someone before entering the villa, claiming that she would do anything to win the series. On Sunday night, drama reached an all-time high in the villa when the dumped islanders came back to vote on who should stay in the competition - with Harriet Blackmore and Ronnie Vint being the unfortunate ones to be voted off. Olivia claimed that she had seen the screenshots sent by Grace to a mutual friend where she allegedly said that she would do whatever it takes to win the show. "I feel like there's one particular couple that I probably would have swapped from things I've seen from the outside. So I've seen text messages of Grace just saying to someone that she would do whatever it takes to win the show this time," Olivia said in front of all the other islanders.
Grace vehemently denied the claims made by Olivia, and during the grand finale of Love Island All Stars, insisted that she was excited to see the screenshots for herself after fellow islander Samie Elishi also claimed she saw the texts with her own eyes. Following the dramatic All Stars final, Kaz, 30, has taken to Instagram to weigh in on the text scandal situation. In an attempt to remove herself from the drama, Kaz told her followers: "I just want to say I haven't seen these messages, and I had no involvement in this situation. So yeah, you lot need to stop asking me. Because boy I have no idea because that was crazy.".
It comes after All Stars' Harriet also delivered a huge dig during the final in an attempt to stick up for her best friend Grace. During a chat with former islander Amy Hart, Harriet made thinly veiled dig at Oliviaand Samie, who claimed to have seen the text messages. "You're a girls' girl," Amy said to Harriet, before asking: "Who are you looking forward to going on a girls' night out with?". However, before Harriet could respond, Ronnie interrupted saying: "Not Liv!" "Not Liv," added Harriet. However, she later took a dig at Samie, explaining: "Elma, Catherine, Grace, Tina. All of them. There's a few I'd leave off the list." Harriet and Olivia clashed during an awkward encounter when she and Ronnie were sent home following a vote by the Islanders.
Harriet insisted that Olivia had "made it up" following Olivia's claims that Ronnie had been attempting to pursue her during his relationship with Harriet. Olivia had previously claimed that while Ronnie was in a relationship with Harriet, he had sent her flirty messages. He insisted that he and Harriet were not in an exclusive relationship at the time. The couple met during the last series of the show and left together – but split three months later.
Harriett also took aim at Olivia for allegedly "photoshopping" her head onto a picture of Ronnie and Harriet, pretending to be Blackmore in an attempt to win over his affection. Like this story?
