OHMYGOSSIP — Lucinda Strafford is joining the Australian edition of ‘Love Island’.
The 23-year-old influencer – who appeared on the seventh season of the ITV2 dating competition in 2021, but didn’t find love despite growing close to Brad McClelland and Aaron Francis – is heading Down Under to have another go finding love.
She will become the first Brit to appear on the Aussie version of the series, after former ‘Love Island Australia’ stars and Australian natives, Jessie Wynter and Aaron Waters, headed into the ‘Love Island UK’ Cape Town villa for this year’s winter series.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Lucinda is a bona fide Love Island legend so everyone’s really excited for even more viewers to enjoy her special brand of ditzy banter – who can forget her ‘realllyyyy?’ catchphrase?
“She’s so gorgeous, she was a real hit with the lads in the Majorca villa, so no doubt Lucinda will have the Aussie lads’ head spinning too.
“Of course people all around the world watch the global versions of ‘Love Island’ so it’s likely the cast will know exactly who she is – and know she knows how to play the game – which always ruffles feathers.
“Lucinda is so excited to get grafting.”
The star also confirmed her appearance on the show with a post on her Instagram account.
A message read: “Lucinda is looking for love in the @LoveIslandAU Villa! Stream the new season of #LoveIslandAU from Monday October 30 on @9now (sic)”
UK viewers will be able to see the star on ‘Love Island Australia’ on ITVBe and ITVX later in the year, after the show initially airs on Australia’s Channel9 from October 30.
