Love Island All Stars Erupts in Dramatic Custard Pie Clash
In a fiery episode of Love Island: All Stars on ITV2, Samie Elishi dramatically stormed off after a tense confrontation with Lucinda Strafford, sparked by a custard pie thrown during a game. The incident, which aired on Thursday, saw Samie fuming and accusing Lucinda of "hurting people" as their long-standing rivalry boiled over.
Snog, Marry, Pie Game Ignites Tensions
The clash occurred following a game of Snog, Marry, Pie, where contestants make lighthearted choices about their fellow islanders. The Daily Mail had exclusively revealed beforehand that players would be allowed to pie someone of the same sex, setting the stage for drama. Lucinda chose to kiss Sean Stone, propose to another islander, and then, to the shock of viewers and villa mates, hurled a custard pie directly into Samie's face.
This move exacerbated existing tensions between the pair, who have been at odds since Lucinda previously showed interest in Samie's partner, Ciaran Davies. Samie perceived the pie throw as aggressive, later describing it as feeling like "a slap in the face."
Apology Turns Into Heated Argument
Later in the episode, Lucinda attempted to apologise, saying, "I wanted to say I’m sorry for pie-ing you earlier... It came off a little bit strong and a little bit more intense than I wanted it to come across." However, Samie was unimpressed, retorting, "A little bit?" and questioning Lucinda's motives, asking, "Why pie me?"
Lucinda defended her actions as part of a lighthearted game, but Samie clapped back, insisting, "That wasn’t lighthearted. You slammed that pie in my face like it was a slap in the face. You went full whack like you meant it." The discussion quickly escalated as Lucinda laughed during the exchange, further infuriating Samie.
Storming Off and Social Media Reaction
Frustrated by Lucinda's demeanour and what she saw as insincerity, Samie eventually got up and walked away, telling her, "You think it's a f***ing joke all the time. It’s not a joke, this is real life – you’re actually hurting peoples’ feelings. Wake up. Remember what you say." As she left, she added, "You think it’s a joke. You’re p**sing me off."
The argument quickly became a talking point on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, with fans sharing their reactions. One user praised Samie, writing, "Samie really has fully clocked Lucinda and I love it," while another commented, "Samie the woman you are because I would have not kept my composure with that girl laughing in my face." Others noted the intensity, with one saying, "Samie can dish it out, but she can't take it #loveisland," and another adding, "samie is very correct abt this lucinda situation i fear!"
