Love Island: All Stars may have come to an end but there is no denying that it is still very much a talking point in the world of reality TV.

Especially with Curtis Pritchard challenging Davide Sanclimenti to a boxing fight and in turn Wil Andersontelling Curtis HE would fight him. Honestly, we can't keep up.

Love Island fans are also still asking questions about the Grace Jackson screenshot fiasco or as we like to call it Olivia Hawkins VS. The Dollys.

Since they left the villa, Grace and Luca Bish have opened up about the drama with them both denying such messages exist and now Olivia is FINALLY revealing what really went down her end.

During a chat with William Grande on his 'Spill with Will' podcast, the winter Love Island OG opened up about the screenshot scandal.

'What I will say is, do people really think I would go on national television and lie about something so serious as that?’

The All Stars continued, ‘Also do they really think the producers would let me say something that they didn’t know was true? That's all I will say.'

In case you're reading this and thinking, 'I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON,' firstly, where have you been? Secondly, here is the Spark Notes version of what went down.

Just before the final, most of the dumped Islanders returned to the South African villa to send home a couple out of the bottom three (those who had received the lowest number of public votes) and, naturally, it all kicked off.

Olivia, self proclaimed villain and all round troublemaker, stepped forward and announced that although she would be sending home Harriett Blackmore and Ronnie Vint, she REALLY wanted to pick another couple - they just weren't an option.

Olivia declared Grace and Luca as the couple she wanted to send packing because she had seen screen shots that featured messages from Grace claiming she would, 'do anything to win.'

We are not overreacting when we say the entire nation GASPED, with Harriett piping up that it was all probably fake.

Luca and Grace ended up coming second, with many people on social media speculating that they would have beat Casey O'Gorman and Gabby Allen to first place had Olivia not dropped the screenshots bombshell.

Back in the real world, the likes of 'Messy' Mitch Taylor (of course) and Joey Essex (more surprising, but still not a huge shock) were also involved in the debacle. Mitch shared said screenshots of the messages on social media before admitting he didn't know where they came from or if they were even real. As for Joey, he was the person Grace was apparently DMing.

Olivia went on to admit that it was 'never [her] intention for Grace to get hate,' and confessed that it's been hard dealing with the chaos of it all.

'When I had to cancel before, I just needed a moment to myself because I have always been such a strong person,' she confessed when Will mentioned the All Star cancelled the first meeting between them, adding, 'I just think it does take a toll.'

Just a note that death threats are NEVER acceptable.
