Lucinda Strafford's family has issued a warning to Love Island: All Stars fans after describing a recent episode as a 'hard watch'. The 26-year-old reality star is currently appearing on the ITV2 spin-off, which has seen her at the centre of a love triangle with Sean Stone and Belle Hassan.
In Tuesday's episode, tensions flared when Belle confronted Lucinda over her budding romance with Sean. Belle accused Lucinda of not caring about her feelings and dismissed her apology, saying: 'This nice girl image just doesn't wash, I see through it.' The drama continued during a spin the bottle challenge, where Scott van-der-Sluis criticised Lucinda, leaving her in tears.
Following the episode, Lucinda's relatives took to her Instagram to appeal for kindness. They wrote: 'Tonight's episode was another hard watch. Negative comments create impact and can be overwhelming... Please be kind, always.' Fans rallied in support, with one commenting: 'I still don't understand the hate she's getting. None of them are closed off.'
However, a preview for Wednesday's episode suggests a possible reconciliation, with Belle accepting Lucinda's olive branch. Lucinda is heard telling Belle: 'You actually do deserve better than [Sean] anyway,' to which Belle replies: 'I think you do as well.'
Love Island: All Stars airs Sunday to Friday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
