Love Island All Stars Pie-Gate Controversy Erupts Again as Viewers Call for End to Feud
Love Island All Stars viewers were thrust back into the pie-gate drama on Wednesday, as they urged contestants Samie Elishi and Lucinda Strafford to finally resolve their ongoing conflict. The tension resurfaced during a question and answer game in the villa, where the public voted on whether Lucinda's decision to pie Samie in a challenge was unjustified.
Public Vote Reveals Majority Side with Samie in Pie Incident
Earlier this month, during a Snog, Marry, Avoid game, Lucinda, 26, slammed a pie into Samie's face with what viewers and Samie described as significant force. In the recent episode, Samie explained she sought clarity from the audience, stating, 'I wanted clarity for myself that I wasn't going mad in that situation. I just felt like there was like, a bit of force behind that. I just remember it because it like hurt my feelings a lot.'
Lucinda responded dismissively, saying, 'We're not going over this again. I feel like the force of the pie. I can't have another conversation on it. The past is the past.' However, Samie received a text revealing the poll results: 63% of viewers thought the pie was uncalled for, while 37% voted no.
Viewers React on Social Media as Feud Intensifies
Remaining unapologetic, Lucinda remarked, 'It wasn't technically uncalled for. I think: "Who actually cares?"' Samie hit back, 'I do because it hurt my feelings at the time. Even you laughing in my face and me walking away.' As the pair continued to bicker, other islanders grew increasingly uncomfortable until Tommy intervened to tell them to drop it.
Reacting to the feud on X, viewers expressed mixed opinions. One wrote, 'Okay Lucinda should’ve just apologised but Samie needs to get over it and let it go ngl.' Another commented, 'In this scenario, yes Samie was right to get closure and clarity. It was uncalled for. A majority agree. Lucinda did laugh in her face. She should own it and apologise.' Others noted, 'Samie needs to know that Lucinda is always going to laugh talking about the pie she needs to let it go,' and 'Samie STILL hung up on Lucinda pieing her 2 WEEKS ago…'
One viewer summed it up, 'Lucinda is completely me in this situation as Samie has dragged this on painfully long now. If you know she doesn’t care stop trying to make her care.' The conflict stems from earlier tensions when Lucinda attempted to flirt with Samie's partner Ciaran Davies, leading to a clash after a tense game of Snog, Marry, Pie.
Tommy Bradley Faces Heartbreak Over Public Perception
Elsewhere in the episode, Tommy Bradley was left despondent after a brutal game revealed that the public believes Jessy Potts is using him to reach the final. The couple had asked, 'Is Jessy playing it safe with Tommy to get to the final?' The result showed 83% yes and 17% no, leaving everyone speechless.
Tommy appeared to contemplate that she might indeed be using him, turning the atmosphere awkward. Viewers quickly reacted on X, with one penning, 'I'm about to break into that villa to rescue Tommy. He doesn't deserve this!' and another adding, 'I just want to hug Tommy.'
