There are countless versions of Love Island nowadays. COUNTLESS.
You have the regular, run-of-the-mill UK series that we all become obsessed with every year and then there's the winter version, which isn't quite the same, but we sort of love it anyway.
There is also now a US counterpart; a spin-off called Love Island Games and even anAlbanian version that Haris Namani is currently starring on. We love to see it.
We also all know about the Australian series as it is where Jessie Wynter and Aaron Waters made names for themselves before heading to the UK for a second chance at love and it turns out they inspired a few others.
Including Love Island 2021 star Lucinda Strafford.
Two years after leaving the villa, Lucinda has headed down under to take part in Australian Love Island. Her instagram bio even has the classic "Lucinda is looking for love in the @LoveIslandAU Villa! ❤️ 🏝️"

After dating on/off for three and a half years, they announced they had called it quits last year. A source told The Sun, "Everyone thought Lucinda and Aaron would make a real go of things this time round.
"Aaron was pretty cut up when she decided to do Love Island but they moved on from it and seemed stronger than ever.
"In the end they just couldn't make it work and have decided it would be better for both of them if they remained single."
What happened with Lucinda Strafford and Brad McClelland?
Lucinda initially coupled up with Brad McClelland in the villa, however the producers put them in an impossible position - either one of them had to volunteer to leave the show or both of them had to.

After leaving the villa it was clear Brad still had feelings for Lucinda, and after she was booted from the show they reportedly reunited. It clearly didn't amount to anything though, as Lucinda was soon back with footballer Aaron.
