As much as we're loving Grace Jackson and Luca Bish together in the real-life rom-com (sometimes horror film) that is Love Island: All Stars, we can't help but feel like we're at that point in the rom-com where the cute, sensitive guy (Luca) is about to realise he's been with the wrong girl the whole time (almost always a popular blonde like Grace, who don't get us wrong, we f*cking adore 👀) and it was the girl next door (Samie Elishi) all along. Just us?
Well it's not, so pipe down – dumped All Star and Samie's bestie Kaz Crossley is with us on this. Not only did she recently reveal what really happened between Samie and Luca prior to All Stars, as well as dish that Luca 'has not stopped talking about Samie' since day one, BUT she's now taken to her socials to share a word of advice with Samie – and it's what we're all thinking. Well, maybe not Grace.
ICYMI, Samie entered the villa on day 22 as a bombshell alongside Chuggs Wallis and made a beeline for Luca, who is very much with Grace. Despite promising Grace he wouldn't kiss Samie in a game of spin the bottle, he did so anyway and it was steamy (Grace's ears, not the kiss). This resulted in Grace truly flipping at Luca and demanding that he shut it down with Samie (and YES to boundary setting, Grace). He did so, but then the public decided to couple him and Samie up in a new, brilliantly-timed twist.
While Samie has held her own in all of this, the whole ordeal has certainly dulled Samie's bombshell buzz and has left her in tears on more than one occasion.
Back to Kaz; soon after the public decided to couple up Luca and Samie, Kaz shared a video of the girls sparring on her Instagram Story prior to All Stars and shared a few words of advice for her friend.
She wrote, 'Visual representation of me telling Samie to stay strong and bombshell harder.'
Clap emoji.
Look, if you're going to enter the villa as a bombshell at this late stage in the game, you've got to go in harder than hard, especially if you're contemplating breaking up a power couple like Grace and Luca.
Sadly, Samie won't be able to read Kaz's wise words as she has no access to her phone or social media in the South African villa, but somehow we feel that this rom-com hasn't reached the credits just yet...
