LUCINDA Strafford reportedly ‘faked’ a split with her Love Island ex Zac Nunns to try to get on All Stars.
The pair struck up a romance during their time on the Australia series in 2023 where they came runners-up behind winners Kale Roberts and Tyra Johannes.
They called it quits back in February and it was claimed that Zac was left “heartbroken”.
Lucinda has since moved on with chart-topping DJ Nathan Dawe and her ex couldn’t help but dish the dirt on their time together.
Zac revealed they were still very much together after they were both in Australia but claims they stopped posting each other as Lucinda wanted to go on Love Island All Stars.
Sharing an image of them cosied up at the airport, he wrote: “Yes – we were together the whole time. Here’s a polaroid of her leaving.”
Another follower sent a message referring to Lucinda’s rejection from the new series, which read, “Why did she not end up on it did she not get accepted?”
“Never got the call probably because production saw she was with her boyfriend in Australia,” he responded.
Zac later took to TikTok to share more images of their conversation after fans claimed he was “lying” and “bitter” about the situation.
However, he came with evidence proving that the pair were still in contact a month after it was announced they had gone their separate ways.
He showed their final messages that only date back to March 29 – three weeks before the news broke about her relationship with Nathan.
The Sun recently revealed that Lucinda has grown close to music producer Nathan.
He has worked with a number of big names in the industry, including KSI, Little Mix, Anne-Marie, Joel Corry and Ella Henderson.
A source said: “They’re on holiday together in Dubai right now – it’s early days but they really like each other.”
Lucinda shot to fame in 2021 on the seventh series of Love Island.
She was linked to Brad McClelland and Aaron Francis during her stint in the villa.
Lucinda previously dated footballer Aaron Connolly
