Love Island star joins Australian version of dating show in bid to find romance
ok.co.ukUK Love Island star Lucinda Strafford has revealed she has joined the Australian version of the show. Taking to Instagram to announce the news, the influencer shared a picture of her posing in a black swimsuit, with the caption: "Lucinda is looking for love in the @LoveIslandAU Villa!
Stream the new season of #LoveIslandAU from Monday, October 30 on @9now." Lucinda, 23, failed to find love when she first entered the UK villa in 2021, despite forming romantic relationships with Brad McClelland and Aaron Francis.
The blonde bombshell will be the first British contestant to head down under and join the Aussie line-up. It comes as Australian contestants Jessie Wynter and Aaron Waters joined the UK cast for winter Love Island in Cape Town.
A source told The Sun how 'ditzy' Lucinda will be perfect for the Aussie series, saying: "Lucinda is a bona fide Love Island legend, so everyone’s really excited for even more viewers to enjoy her special brand of ditzy banter - who can forget her 'really?' catchphrase? "She’s so gorgeous, she was a real hit with the lads in the Majorca villa, so no doubt Lucinda will have the Aussie lads' heads spinning too. "Of course, people all around the world watch the global versions of Love Island, so it’s likely the cast will know exactly who she is - and know she knows how to play the game - which always ruffles feathers." They added that the star is so excited to 'get grafting' again.
