Love Island: All Stars viewers were left reeling during Monday night's episode as a revealing game exposed shocking details about contestant Ciaran Davies' romantic history. The 23-year-old Welsh rugby player disclosed that he had slept with approximately 130 women, with the oldest being 48 years old, sending social media into a frenzy of disbelief and criticism.
Game Reveals Explosive Details
The dramatic revelations unfolded during a couples challenge titled "Knowing Me, Knowing You," where Islanders answered intimate questions about each other. Host Harrison introduced the game by reading a text: "Islanders, how well do you know your other half? It's time to put your relationship to the test." Participants wrote their responses on chalkboards before comparing answers with their partners.
When the question "What is the age of the oldest person your partner has slept with?" was posed, Ciaran jokingly exclaimed, "I'm done, I'm walking out!" before confirming the 48-year-old figure. In another segment, he estimated his total number of sexual partners at around 130, leaving fellow contestants and viewers alike stunned.
Social Media Backlash
X (formerly Twitter) erupted with reactions as fans processed the revelations. One user wrote: "Throw Ciaran in the bin. 130 women & a 48yr old but the boy is only 23???? EEEYUUUUCK! #LoveIslandAllStars #LoveIsland." Another commented: "Excuse me, we are not getting past that Ciaran slept with 130+ women #LoveIslandUK #loveisland #loveislandallstars."
Some viewers expressed skepticism about the numbers, with one noting: "It really isn't important but… on S11 of #LoveIsland Ciaran told Nicole 120. You mean to tell me that a year and a half later it's only gone to 130? When he's been more popular than ever since being on LI? That number is definitely cap. #LoveIslandAllStars #AllStars."
Emotional Home Calls Add to Drama
The episode continued the villa's turbulent atmosphere following Sunday's emotional video calls from home. Jessy Potts, 27, broke down in tears after her father confronted her about her behavior during the ongoing feud with Lucinda Strafford. Her dad told her she had been acting "out of character" and urged her to focus on being herself and developing her connection with Tommy.
Jessy's immediate question—"How have I came across?"—sparked further discussion among viewers about her motivations. Fans on X suggested she had treated Lucinda poorly "thinking the public would support her" and that "her script didn't work." One wrote: "Jessy is crying because she now knows that her script didn't work & the public actually hate her loooool. You can't make this up."
Villa Tensions Continue
Whitney Adebayo attempted to mediate the conflict by asking Lucinda if she felt bullied by Jessy, to which Lucinda replied, "No, not bullied." However, Belle Hassan stormed off during the discussion, declaring, "I can't do this." The girls later rallied around Jessy as she processed her father's feedback.
This follows Friday's episode where Lucinda walked out during another clash with Jessy, prompting host Maya Jama to offer emotional support. The ongoing feud has generated numerous Ofcom complaints from viewers concerned about bullying behavior in the villa.
