Olivia Hawkins from Love Island has broken her silence about the contentious spat that unfurled with Grace Jackson over alleged secret texts during the dramatic All-Stars finale. Olivia made a splashy return to the villa during Sunday night’s show along with her fellow ousted Islanders, ready to rock the boat by helping decide which couple should be axed before the final showdown. Amidst the tense vote-off, Liv threw a curveball at Luca Bish, revealing she’d caught wind of messages supposedly sent by Grace to an unnamed individual, suggesting she’d go to any lengths to secure victory. “I’ve seen the screenshots. I’m not saying who,” Liv hinted at Grace, igniting an on-screen row between herself, Grace, and Harriett Blackmore.

During tonight’s live final, presenter Maya Jama couldn’t resist revisiting the controversy, pressing Olivia for proof. Unfazed, Olivia responded: “I’ve seen them, I’ve said what I’ve said. You know me, I’m very straight to the point. I wish them the best.” Grace was then given the chance to counter, insisting: “I’m very straight talking too and there’s absolutely no receipts so I can’t wait to apparently see them.” Host Maya cut through the tension, quipping: “Ok – you can sort it out online or something,” reports the Mirror. Earlier in the evening, Liv addressed the drama with Love Island livestream host Amy Hart. Amy queried: “What is the difference between the first and second time you’ve been in?” Liv responded with a chuckle: “You know what, I would have said less drama but maybe not after the other night.” She continued: “I think more smooth sailing, I was in six couples last time but only two this time so not as bad.” Tonight’s final saw Casey O’Gorman and Gabby Allen take the Love Island: All Stars crown, while Luca Bish and Grace came in second place. They were followed byEkin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard in third place, Catherine Agbaje and Omar Nyame, while Elma Pazar and Sammy Root came in fifth place. Reactions on X showed some viewers were less than impressed, with one user declaring, “Let’s demolished Love Island UK! I’m officially done! Been flop after flop,” and another calling the top two “this miserable top 2 EMBARRASSING.” Despite coming in fifth place, Elma said that the couple made it to the final by “the skin of our teeth”, while Catherine spoke about finding her connection with Omar. “Good things came to those who wait,” she said. Love Island: All Stars is available to catch up on over on ITVX.
