Lucinda Strafford dated Irish football star Aaron Connolly before entering the Love Island villa.
The 21-year-old joined the dating show as a bombshell during Tuesday night’s episode, and has her eye on Brad McClelland and Liam Reardon.
The online fashion boutique owner dated Galway native Aaron for two years before signing on for the show.

A couple reportedly called it quits in March, with a source previously telling The Sun that Aaron was not happy about Lucinda heading into the villa.
“She’s going in to plug her business. She wants fame and money – she’s always wanted to be a celebrity. She’s trying to become an influencer, she wants to do it for her business,” the insider explained.
“Aaron’s really upset and really annoyed about it. They were together for two years and then broke up… They have argued about her going in.”

Aaron, 21, plays as a forward for Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion and the Republic of Ireland national team.
Ahead of her stint in the villa, Lucinda said: “I’m a relationship kind of girl. The timing is right and I want to have some fun. I really fancy Brad. And then possibly Liam. But obviously I’m open to getting to know any of the other boys.”
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on Virgin Media One and Virgin Media Player.
