Footballer Aaron Connolly’s ex Lucinda Strafford is reportedly lined up for Love Island.
The Brighton & Hove Albion winger’s former flame – whom he dated for two years before their split back in March – is said to be set for the ITV2 dating show after being made redundant from her job.
According to The Sun, the 21-year-old beauty wants to head into the famous villa to promote her Luxe Range boutique.
Apparently, the move comes after she and Aaron, also 21, have grown closer again in recent weeks.
‘They’ve seen each other, been at each other’s houses and had dinner, but over the last couple of days she has told a few people she’s going to be on Love Island and now Aaron knows and isn’t very happy,’ an insider said.
‘She’s going in to plug her business. She wants fame and money – she’s always wanted to be a celebrity.
‘She’s trying to become an influencer, she wants to do it for her business.’
The report adds that Aaron isn’t best pleased about this development, which comes after he’d been ‘seeing other people’ following their breakup.
The source added: ‘He was seeing other people and she was jealous, but over the past few months they’ve been seeing each other, going for dinner and reconciling and now he’s found out about Love Island he’s very upset.
‘In the last few weeks they’ve been in each other’s pockets, but the TV show will change all that.’
