Great, so turns out Jade is the sister of Love Island 2017 winner Amber Davies (remember she won alongside Kem Cetinay?).
Jade regularly posts pictures of both Luke and Amber on her Instagram and you can even see the Love Island/Bridgerton crossover in the adorable NYE picture below.
Wow, talk about worlds colliding.
And if you scroll through Amber's snaps you'll see a Love Island x Bridgerton crossover.

Luke Newton on Bridgerton
