We know that the majority of Love Island contestants already know each other, even more so when it's the All Stars taking part in the dating show, but this latest revelation has left us going, 'WTF?'

There has been so much drama around the fact that Luca Bish and Samie Elishi knew each other prior to Love Island, even if it was just a 'Happy Birthday' DM, but apparently Luca also knew Grace Jackson, too.

Sorry what and a who now?

We were under the impression that this was a budding new romance we were seeing come alive right in front of our eyes, but alas, it appears that is not the case and now we don't know how to feel.

Back in the summer of 2023, Luca attended a boxing match and 'who was the ring girl?' we hear you ask? None other than Grace.

We are sure you're all thinking, 'Okay, but just because they were at the same game doesn't mean they actually met.'

We're going to hold your hands when we tell you this bit...

Over on Reddit – AKA the black hole of conspiracy theories and fan thoughts – one person has managed to hunt down a picture from that day and the duo are very much BOTH in the photograph.

The picture is featured in an article over on Sunday World and yes, there are three people stood between Luca and Grace, but surely we can all agree that Grace Jackson isn't exactly the type of woman you forget meeting?

The revelation doesn't stop us from hoping the couple are endgame, but it does have us wondering why they haven't acknowledge the fact they already knew each other.

But then again, Luca and Harriett Blackmore have been in the same friendship circle since they were kids - according to his sister that is - and they've barely even spoken.
