Following Olivia’s claim that she had seen Grace’s text messages, reports have emerged suggesting that someone has leaked the relevant screenshots.
The episode that aired on Sunday night is set to be a pivotal moment in Love Island history, marking one of the most dramatic episodes in the show’s timeline. All of the eliminated islanders, along with Ron Hall from the second All Stars series, returned to the South African villa to confront the final six couples.
India Reynolds, Olivia Hawkins, Marcel Somerville, Kaz Crossley, Montel McKenzie, Nas Majeed, Danielle Sellers, Samie Elishi, Tina Stinnes, Ron, and Chuggs Wallis were given the task of choosing a couple to eliminate from Elma Pazar and Sammy Root, Ronnie Vint and Harriett Blackmore, or Catherine Agbaje and Omar Nyame.
These couples had been made vulnerable through a public vote and faced the risk of being sent home. However, the former islanders did not just vote on which couple to eliminate; they also shared their thoughts on the remaining couples.
Olivia stated that she would have placed Grace Jackson and Luca Bish among the bottom three couples. When pressed further, she claimed to have seen messages from Grace that showed her determination to do whatever it takes to win the competition.
Grace responded with immediate anger, demanding that Olivia show the screenshots as evidence of her claims, which Grace strongly denied.
Viewers of the show have echoed this demand, with thousands taking to social media to call for the evidence. In light of the backlash, Olivia has turned off comments on her latest Instagram post and shared some of the abusive messages she has received in her direct messages since the episode aired.
Alleged screenshots have appeared, but they remain completely unverified, so it’s wise to approach this information with caution. Additionally, these screenshots do not fully support Olivia’s claims.
The screenshots that have been circulating online appear to show direct messages from Grace’s Instagram account to someone named Joey, who is said to be her ex, Joey Essex.
The person who shared these images remarked: “Receipts don’t lie, Grace – I’d rather stay anonymous since I got this from Joey from Love Island [sic].”
The messages reportedly read: “No Joey [laughing emojis] I am being dead serious we can bet on it …. I will win this !!!”
In reply, the messages say: “Grace, we shall see [laughing emoji].”

While the messages don’t provide much context, Grace’s Instagram handle, username, and profile picture are clearly visible at the top.
Regardless of whether these screenshots are genuine, they contradict Olivia’s earlier claim in the villa, where she stated, “I’ve seen text messages of Grace saying to someone that she will do what it takes to win the show this time.”
Grace responded, “Babe, that is absolutely untrue; I do not care about winning the show,” and then asked Olivia where she got her information.
Even though Olivia maintained that she had seen the screenshots, she refused to reveal who had shared them with her.
