Love Island: All Stars’ Grace Jackson finally revealed the truth behind those exposed messages after a fiery exchange during Monday’s final.
The runner up was at the centre of drama when it was alleged she had sent messages ahead of going on the show saying she would ‘do anything win’.
As the dumped Islanders returned to the villa on Sunday’s episode, Olivia was quick to set the cat amongst the pigeons when she accused Grace of lying about her feelings for Luca Bish, claiming she’d seen ‘secret messages’ proving the blonde was only after a fake relationship.
And tensions between the pair reached boiling point during the final when Maya Jama asked Olivia if she had the receipts and Olivia said: ‘I’ve seen [the screensH๏τs], I’ve said what I’ve said.’
Hitting back at the lack of proof, Grace shouted across the set live on air: ‘I’m very straight talking too and there’s absolutely no receipts so I can’t wait to apparently see them.’
Now after finishing the show in second place, Grace reiterated her claim that she never said it – after screensH๏τs of the supposed exchange surfaced online.

‘I know in myself that I stand on it 100% that I’ve not said that,’ she said.
The show’s finale was hit by drama only a few minutes in on Monday night when the feud broke out between Olivia and Grace.
The ITV2 show had been plunged into chaos on Sunday as the axed stars returned to the villa to decide which couple would be dumped before the final – when Olivia dropped the bombshell about Grace.
Back in the villa on Monday for the live final, Olivia was probed about the bombshell claim by host Maya Jama, who asked if she had the screensH๏τs to hand.
However, the dumped Islander seemed keen to backtrack after her fiery confrontation with Grace and Luca the day before.
She said: ‘I’ve seen [the screensH๏τs], I’ve said what I’ve said.
‘You know me, I’m very straight to the point. I wish them the best.’
However, showing there was still no love lost between then, Grace took the opportunity to make her feelings clear in response.

Olivia’s rival Harriet Blackmore was quick to chime in and told Grace: ‘She probably made it up babe, like she did with Ronnie’
She fired back: ‘I’m very straight talking too and there’s absolutely no receipts so I can’t wait to apparently see them.’
As the audience clapped and the tension built, Maya jumped in to joke: ‘Ok – you can sort it out online or something.’
It comes after Olivia shocked the villa on Sunday episode, as she announced: ‘So I’ve seen text messages of Grace just saying to someone that she’ll do whatever it takes to win the show this time from someone back home.’
A horrified Grace denied it immediately and pleaded with Luca: ‘Baby, that is absolutely not true.
‘I do not care about winning this show.’

As tensions began to boil over, Samie Elishi, who competed with Grace for Luca’s affections, also claimed to have seen the infamous messages.
Grace fumed: ‘On my life, I have never written that sentence in my life. It’s b******t, and someone’s forged that, that’s not true. I am gobsmacked’.
Olivia’s rival Harriet Blackmore was quick to chime in and told Grace: ‘She probably made it up babe, like she did with Ronnie.’
She added: ‘Liv’s probably texted herself and used it as an answer. Babe, we all know you wouldn’t do that.’
