After the ITV All Stars final on Monday, former islander Samie Elishi has sparked rumours of a potential celebrity feud with runner-up Grace Jackson. Samie, who entered Love Island: All Stars as a late bombshell and caused quite a stir when she targeted Luca Bish, who was coupled up with Grace, has now unfollowed Grace on Instagram. This comes after Samie commented on claims from fellow islander Olivia Hawkins about alleged texts from Grace stating she would do anything to win. Despite their rocky time in the villa, where both women vied for Luca’s attention, it seems the drama didn’t end with the show’s finale. Grace has also unfollowed Samie, even though Samie still follows her partner Luca. The tension between the two was reignited during the final dumping, with Kaz Crossley warning Grace that Luca did mention Samie throughout his time in the villa. On the Love Island: The Morning After podcast, Samie opened up about her time on the show, saying: “So I had a conversation with Grace and we were fine. But obviously it was just uncomfortable the whole time”. She also revealed that she got along well with “all the girls to be fair”, but didn’t quite hit it off with Grace.

Samie confessed that there was only one lad she was interested in as “there were slim pickings”. Looking back, Samie’s favourite moment was hilariously throwing a cream pie in Luca’s face during the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge, which she dubbed her “fab Love Island moment” on the podcast, reports the Mirror. The drama didn’t stop after Monday’s final, as Olivia shared screenshots of messages allegedly from Grace, claiming she would do “whatever it takes to win” before entering the villa in South Africa. Following the episode where Olivia made these claims, Samie took to Instagram to urge trolls to stop sending “disgusting messages”, revealing that she had also seen the screenshots. Samie, deeply moved by the loss of Love Island’s Caroline Flack in 2020, shared a heartfelt photo of the late host and expressed her concern over the toxic messages she and her friends have been receiving.

She reminded everyone that: “A beautiful women was lost due to mental health and I’m seeing some of the vile messages my friends in this industry are receiving (including myself) people are very quick to forget that we are not fictional characters and you never know what’s going on inside someone’s head and what they are struggling with.” Urging those behind the cruel words to reflect and change, she added, “Everyone taking time to send these disgusting messages should be ashamed, it’s not too late to apologise and take back your ‘heat of the moment’ comments. Be a better person today.”
