Grace said: ‘He reached out to me. We didn’t speak for like four months and then he text me and was just like “Can we speak” type of thing.’

‘Did you meet up?’, Olivia asked. 

Grace replied: ‘Yeah’, Olivia added: ‘Was it flirty?’

‘A little bit. When I saw his name on my phone I was like [gasps]. I really liked him, I think I’ll always have a soft spot for him. I’ll always care about him.

‘It’s amazing in here with him but then it’s his outside life’, Grace added.

At the time, Joey and Jessy said they ‘tried to make their relationship work’ but after leaving the Love Island villa it ‘just wasn’t meant to be’. 

Joey told The Sun: ‘Unfortunately, we have decided to call an end to the relationship but I hope we can continue to be friends. I truly wish Jessy the very best with whatever she does in the future.’

Jessy added: ‘I appreciate the Love Island experience I had with Joey, we tried to make it work but it wasn’t to be.

‘I’m so grateful to everyone who supported us and look forward to all of the exciting opportunities ahead.’

As Grace discussed her dating history with the girls, Olivia asked the downlow on her and Marcus Rashford.

It was reported that the pair had enjoyed a series of dates, but called it quits just weeks before Grace entered the villa. 

Grace said: ‘We weren’t dating, but we were like chatting a little bit.’

‘Fancied each other?’, Olivia chipped in. 

Grace added: ‘Yeah, but it’s difficult because he can’t just go out and just like go on a normal date.

‘All these f****** United fans were, like commenting thousands of comments on my pictures because they loved me.

‘Because when the article came out, he scored two goals and he hadn’t scored for ages. So they [fans] were lie: “You’ve fixed him! Thank you so much, you’re our queen”.’
