Love Island All Stars contestant Lucinda Strafford has been issued with a stern warning over her conduct in the villa.
The 26-year-old, who first found fame during Love Island’s seventh series, made her entrance to the All Stars villa as a bombshell and immediately began causing chaos. She split up the established pairing of Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies during a recoupling before setting her sights on other connections, including the villa’s youngest Islander, Tommy Bradley.
More recently, the reality television personality set her sights on Sean Stone, who had been building a solid foundation with Belle Hassan. The duo grew closer whilst Belle and Tommy were away at Villa USA.
Whilst Belle maintained her distance from potential love interest, USA bombshell Carrington Rodriguez, to spare Sean’s feelings, Sean found himself tempted by Lucinda. On last night’s episode (February 1), Belle was left seething after returning to the main villa to find Sean and Lucinda had been getting cosy.

Following a heated confrontation with Sean, the ITV personality dissolved into tears as she raged: “I f**** leave for three days. Three f***** days. I uphold my f***** dignity and my respect for him regardless of how my connection is over there. I’ve done nothing but be respectable”, reports OK!
The drama triggered a massive row in the villa, with Belle declaring she would be steering clear of Lucinda from now on. But before the explosive showdown, Lucinda had received a caution about her antics from fellow contestant Samie, who also joined the series as a bombshell.
Samie took Lucinda aside after noticing her in conversation with Sean, curious about their exchange. Lucinda confessed: “He could have been clearer with his feelings when he talked to me, but he does like me.”

In response, Samie said: “This is mad. Him and Belle were in such a good place before they left. I’m so shocked and Belle is a good mate of mine. I obviously don’t know what’s going on back there, but this is really gonna upset her.
“You have to do what you want to do, but this is so hard for me to even see happen. Sean wasn’t even on the radar so I’m thrown by it.” She then cautioned Lucinda: “Tread with caution. Just think about it a little bit.”
Despite Samie’s warning, Lucinda was eager to explore her connection with Sean, asserting: “I do get what you’re saying Samie, but I also don’t. I do think I’ve got the right to explore.”
