Grace Jackson and Reuben Collins may have just got back on track in the Love Island villa after recoupling together during the series’ final recoupling ceremony, but fans are convinced that model Grace is getting the ‘ick’ already.
During Sunday evening’s episode, the pair appeared smitten as Reuben prepared a breakfast date for his partner. But taking to X, viewers weren’t sure things are genuine from Grace’s end. One wrote: “Oh please.. Grace and Reuben are just not happening, I’m literally embarrassed for them.. He is so awkward and she is faking it .. badly #LoveIsand #LoveIsandUk”.
“You can’t convince me grace likes reuben #LoveIsand,” another echoed, while a third fan wrote: “Grace doesn’t feel Reuben at all #LoveIsand”.
The couple are on track to reach the final few days in the villa alongside couples Nicole and Ciaran, Joey and Jessy, Jessica and Ayo, Sean and Matilda and Mimii and Josh – with ITV having confirmed the final will air on Monday 29 July.
After Rueben and Grace’s breakfast, things got dramatic as the annual awards show, the Grafties, kicked off with a bang. At the beginning of the ceremony, Harry Baker and Lola Deluca – who Grace and Reuben were both getting to know -were brutally dumped in a shock twist.
The couple, who entered the villa just days ago as the show’s newest bombshells, recoupled together during Friday’s episode – after their respective flames, Rueben and Grace, got back together.
Harry and Lola won the first gong, which was the ‘least favourite couple’ as voted by viewers, and when they went to the podium to accept the award – the pair were gracious winners. However, they then received a shock text declaring that as the least favourite couple, they had been dumped from the island just days before the final.
Alongside the ‘least favourite couple’, the annual award ceremony the Grafties also had categories including Flirtiest Performance, It’s Giving One Sided, Most Dramatic Performance, Ultimate Pot Stirrer, Unfinished Business and Epic Fail
And there was plenty more drama after the double dumping, with Joey having been nominated in the Flirtiest Performance category, Jessy is left less than impressed as clips of him chatting to bombshell Lola are shown. Jessy tells Joey: “Well you used the trouble maker line on me first… if she put in more of a graft would you have failed the test?”
