Former ‘Love Island’ star Joe Garratt was "gutted" after Lucie Donlan recoupled with newcomer George Rains.
The ousted former contestant – who had been paired up with the surfer earlier in the series – thought Tuesday (02.07.19) night’s episode of the ITV2 reality series was hard to watch, but "hopes" they can rekindle their romance outside of the show.
Speaking on ‘This Morning’, he said: "Yeah it wasn’t easy to watch, I was gutted."
Presenter Holly Willoughby added: "I think her heart still lies with you though."
Joe replied: "I hope so, we’ll have to see."
And Arabella Chi – who was previously paired with Danny Williams – admitted that she is "definitely going to meet up" with the 21-year-old model once he leaves the villa, after he recoupled with Jourdan Riane this week.
She simply said: "It is what it is, he’s a single guy he can do what he wants. I’m definitely going to meet up with him when he gets out."
The 28-year-old model previously admitted she would be prepared to wait for Danny, but her comments follow reports she decided "things are well and truly over" after he hooked up with the newcomer.
A source told The Sun Online: "Arabella’s feelings for Danny were really genuine but she thinks he has shown his true colours now.
"They had an amazing connection when they were on the show and she had hoped they could make things work on the outside.
"But she did also make it clear she wouldn’t be made to look like a mug so it’s fair to say that things with Danny are well and truly over. She told pals that she won’t be starting off where they left off when he leaves the villa."
