A fleeting moment in the latest episode of Love Island has ignited speculation among viewers that Jasmine Muller is plotting a strategic move after seeing her ex-partner Lorenzo Alessi crowned Favourite Boy.
Shakira Khan Spots the Clue
Former Love Island star Shakira Khan shared her observations on The Debrief Podcast, which aired immediately following Wednesday's (June 24) episode. She noted a telling expression on Jasmine's face when the results were announced. "The really interesting thing... when Lorenzo got voted Favourite Boy, I saw some cogs turning in Jasmine's mind," Khan said.
Co-host Toni Laites, winner of the 2025 series, agreed, adding: "Her eyes lit up. She said: 'Yes'." The brief moment showed Jasmine seemingly deep in thought as Lorenzo celebrated his victory.
Jasmine's Current Situation in the Villa
Jasmine, a 27-year-old influencer and original cast member of Season 13, is currently coupled up with newcomer Kavan Murphy. However, their relationship has been marred by trivial arguments, leading viewers to question their compatibility. Jasmine initially coupled with crowd favourite Lorenzo Alessi, but he switched his affections to new arrival Priya Jaswal before moving on to Yasmin Hadlow. Now, Lorenzo appears ready to abandon Yasmin and revisit his unfinished romance with Jasmine.
Viewers React on Social Media
Fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to voice their suspicions. One user wrote: "Why we all pretending like Jasmine isn't gonna do a 180 after hearing Lorenzo is the favourite boy and all of a sudden like him? #loveisland #loveislanduk." Another added: "Jasmine are you doing the maths in your head now that Lorenzo is favourite boy? #loveislanduk." A third observed: "Jasmine eyeing up Lorenzo now he's favourite boy #LovelslandUK."
However, some viewers dismissed the 'game plan' accusations, pointing out that Jasmine has shown interest in Lorenzo since day one. One ITV viewer countered: "It's obvious they liked each other before," while another chimed in: "She's just happy for him."
What's Next for Jasmine?
Despite the speculation, Khan and Laites do not believe Jasmine will switch allegiances immediately after the public vote. Nevertheless, the public vote may provide Jasmine with the encouragement she needs to make a move, potentially reigniting her romance with Lorenzo. Love Island airs Sundays to Fridays at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
