IT’S THE battle of the beauties in the Love Island All Stars villa.
Grace Jackson – who’s in a romance with Luca Bish – has made it very clear she doesn’t like Samie Elishi, ever since the bombshell arrived on the show this week.
As soon as Samie arrived in the villa, Grace was heard saying that she “hadn’t bothered saying hello to her”, sparking feud speculation.
The two women then locked horns over Luca, after he kissed Samie in a game of spin the bottle.
Things then went from bad to worse when the public put Luca and Samie together as a couple, and left Grace single.
It first appeared the two women didn’t like each other because of the Luca love triangle, but now viewers have come up with a new theory – and it’s a good one.
Eagle-eyed fans have been doing some armchair detective work and have noticed how Grace’s Love Island ex Joey Essex had been liking a lot of Samie’s posts in the run up to All Stars kicking off.
TV star Joey was famously paired with blonde bombshell Grace before ditching her for Jessy Potts on the TV show last summer.
Grace and Joey had also enjoyed a romance before their time in the villa.
When she first arrived on All Stars, Grace also mentioned how they had “been in touch” recently.
Now fans have have done a deep dive into Samie’s Instagram and noticed that Joey has been liking a lot of her sexy snaps.
They revealed how his interest in the All Stars bombshell started around late October/early November.
This has now led to speculation that this is why Grace does not like Samie, and didn’t like her even before all of the Luca drama.
This latest theory comes hot off the heels of Joey breaking his silence on former lover Grace’s All Stars stint.
Yesterday the former The Only Way Is Essex star left a comment on social media after his name was discussed among the former Islanders.
Commenting underneath a clip of the show, Joey added a stunned face emoji to sum up his reaction.
In the video, Grace was seen tearful as she reflected on her romance with Luca which led to co-star Harriett Blackmore making a dig at her ex.
She said to Grace in the clip: “Sorry to say the J word but he ain’t Joey.
“Do you know what I mean? He’s [Luca] not like that, he wouldn’t entertain something he didn’t want to.”
Joey’s comment racked up a whopping over two thousand likes from fans eager to see what the TV personality had to say on his ex and her current villa woes and the reference to his own villa past.
Meanwhile, following all the Grace drama, fans have been left concerned for Samie.
They think that she spent the day crying after the public put her in a couple with Luca.
