Love Island All Stars' Lucinda Faces Brutal 'Weirdo' Criticism from Former Islander
A former Love Island contestant has launched a scathing social media attack on Lucinda Strafford, branding her a "weirdo" and criticising her behaviour in the All Stars villa. The dramatic intervention comes as the latest series continues to generate controversy and heated debate among both participants and viewers.
Matilda Draper's Blunt Social Media Verdict
Matilda Draper, who appeared alongside Sean Stone in Love Island's 2024 series, recently took to Snapchat to share her unfiltered thoughts about the current All Stars drama. Her comments specifically targeted Lucinda's actions during the fourth recoupling, where she chose to pair with Ciaran Davies, leaving her friend Samie Elishi unexpectedly coupled with Shaq Muhammad.
"I think Lucinda's a weirdo and she's being so awful," Matilda stated bluntly in her social media post. "Don't love her at all." Her boyfriend, TOWIE star Roman Hackett, could be seen nodding in agreement in the background, adding his own criticism: "She's been awful to Samie."
Background of the Turbulent Relationships
The drama has deep roots in previous Love Island relationships. Matilda and Sean first met during the 2024 series, where they endured what has been described as a "turbulent romance" before eventually finishing in third place. Their relationship lasted only a month after returning to the UK before they announced their split.
In the current All Stars series, Sean addressed this breakup when speaking to Belle Hassan, revealing he had been "dumped over the phone" and had only seen Matilda "three times in three months" before their relationship ended. Reflecting on their time together, Sean admitted: "I think I was a bit overwhelmed with so many emotions. But now I feel like I'm very grounded in what I stand for and what I want."
Lucinda's Controversial Villa Behaviour
From her initial entrance as a bombshell contestant, Lucinda Strafford has consistently generated drama within the villa. Her decision to "steal" Ciaran Davies from her friend Samie Elishi created immediate shockwaves among both fellow islanders and viewers watching at home.
The controversy has continued with Lucinda now "cracking on" with Sean Stone, despite him being in an established couple with Belle Hassan. This development has prompted Matilda to express sympathy for her ex-partner, noting she felt "really sorry" for Sean after seeing him emotional in teaser footage. The emotional moment was later revealed to stem from an explosive showdown with fellow contestant Scott van-der-Sluis.
Ongoing Reactions and Future Developments
As Lucinda and Sean continue to explore their newfound connection, Matilda has yet to comment specifically on their developing romance. The situation represents just one of multiple dramatic storylines unfolding in the All Stars villa, with past islanders and current viewers continuing to share strong opinions about the various couplings and conflicts.
The social media intervention from a former contestant highlights how Love Island drama often extends beyond the villa walls, with relationships and conflicts from previous series influencing perceptions and reactions to current events. As the series progresses, further commentary from both former participants and the viewing public is expected to continue shaping the narrative around these complex interpersonal dynamics.
