The beauty of Love Island: All Stars is that, yes, it's Love island, but it's also like some messy, annual high school reunion version of Love Island; one where all the Islanders already know each other, they've all fooled around with each other already and they all know each other's embarrassing, naughty secrets.
What's even better about All Stars is that Love Island fans watching at home also know all of this, too, so we know exactly whose Instagrams to head to when we need some golden reactions to the carnage unfolding on our screens.
Take, Love Island 2024 legend turned All Stars bombshell, Grace Jackson, for example.
Now, Grace's name has been heavily rumoured for All Stars, and after seven days of wondering, 'WHERE THE F**K IS SHE?', in a rather jaw-dropping 'TOMORROW NIGHT' teaser, viewers watched on as Grace and winter Love Island star Ron Hall (who has also been heavily rumoured for some time now) sauntered into the villa together, and suddenly Grace's name was back on everyone's FYPs.
And naturally, we knew exactly whose Instagrams to head to for some iconic reactions to this, well, bombshell – her Love Island exes'.
First we checked out Joey Essex's socials and nada. Boo. Blade Siddiqi, also nada. Then we checked out Reuben Collins' socials and noticed that he had left a glaring comment on Grace's All Stars promo picture – one that totally caught us off card.
A little reminder: Reuben and Grace left the 2024 villa together on day 52, just short of the final, and gave their relationship a go for a hot minute IRL. A few short weeks later, the couple announced they had split on amicable terms.
Now, usually when a Love Island couple uses a phrase like 'amicable split' or 'no bad blood' in a break-up announcement, that's more often than not been fed to them by management to diffuse any press whisperings. In other words, we take it with a pinch of salt – there's always drama with Islanders.
However, it appears that Grace and Reuben did, in fact, leave things nice and amicably, as Reuben's comment on Grace's All Stars snap is giving supportive bestie energy. We love to see it.
He commented, 'Now that’s a bombshell!! 🤩👏🏽.'
Factually correct, too.
Fans of the show were quick to comment on Reuben's well wishes, with some dubbing him a 'king' for being such a class act.
One viewer commented, 'we love a supportive king,' while another added, 'supportive king.'
ICYMI, Grace and Reuben were voted as the couple least likely to work in the outside world by the public in the A Couple of Sorts challenge and as a result they were immediately dumped from the villa, much to the shock of the other Islanders and us at home.
Reuben confirmed his split from Grace in August 2024, telling The Sun, 'I can't speak for her, but since we came out it has been quite busy and there's a lot to deal with.
'We've both been very busy and with the long distance it was difficult. I wish her all the best, she wishes me all the best. There are no bad feelings. We had a great experience together.'
