Congratulations to Love Island 2021 girlie Lillie Haynes who is engaged. To be married!
Lillie, who had a thing going with Liam Reardon in Casa Amor, posted a couple of glorious photos to her Instagram account, referring to herself as Mrs Rockson and showing off a big rock on her ring finger.

Her husband to be looks very handsome and while we're in no way saying he looks like Liam, she definitely has a thing for dark haired hotties. Speaking of which...

One of the great mysteries of our time is how one of the greatest fitlords of our time (or any time) Pete Wicks is still single.

The TOWIE studcake claims he's only ever had one girlfriend (we're assuming he means Megan McKenna, which is a hella shade to all the others tbh) but that doesn't stop rumours circulating ad infinitum linking him and various famous ladies.

THANK GOODNESS then for podcast host GK Barry, AKA Grace Keeling of Saving Grace, getting to the bottom of what's really going on. She played 'rumoured or rammed' with Pirate Pete in an episode of her show back in in 2022 and, yes, it really is what it sounds like.

So, what about Love Island 2020 bombshell Lillie who Pete was pictured with on a night out (tbf ages ago)?

'I met her at an event and they asked me to have a picture with her.'

So, not dating her then?

'No...lovely girl though.'

Who is Lillie Haynes?

Lillie Haynes is a reality star who rose to fame on the seventh series of Love Island in 2021 when she joined the show as a Casa Amor bombshell. Before finding fame, Lillie worked as a trainee accountant.

Who is Lillie Haynes dating?

Lillie didn't manage to find love in the villa despite cracking on with Liam Reardon, however she struck up a romance with fellow Casa Amor bombshell Jack Barlow when they returned to the UK.

Just a few months later, Lillie revealed she and Jack had parted ways due to their long distance relationship and busy schedules. She explained, "I'm like the most North you can possibly get, and he lives as far down South as you could possibly get, so…everyone’s so busy and it’s hard to maintain relationships, and I think when you go through something so big because we all had such a big summer, it’s just kind of nice to breathe a bit.

"He’s a lovely boy, I couldn’t fault him. It’s a shame, but it wasn’t meant to be.”

Lillie Haynes and Jack Grealish

During a cringe-inducing moment on Love Island: Aftersun, then-host Laura Whitmore asked Lillie if anything was going on between her and Jack Grealish. Lillie refused to comment, looking rather awkward and laughing. It came up after reports suggested that the footballer had liked some of Lillie's posts on Insta. Bit of a storm in a teacup tbh.

Does Lillie Haynes have Instagram?

Yep, Lillie can be found on Instagram at @lillie.haynes.

NOW WATCH: Curtis reveals the first message he and Ekin-Su sent to each other and it is saucy

Georgina Terry is digital editor of heat and has been watching Love Island since the Jayne Middlemiss years. Her favourite series is still 2016 although it continues to bring some banging moments to this day. Catherine trying to get away from Curtis in the heart rate challenge? An absolute classic.
