The Love Island All Stars final was hit by drama only a few minutes in on Monday night, as the tension ratcheted back up between Grace Jackson and Olivia Hawkins.
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.
And 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.
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.’

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
However, showing there was still no love lost between then, Grace took the opportunity to make her feelings clear in response.
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 begin 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.’

Viewers watching at home were enthralled by Grace and Olivia clashing once again in the live final, coming before the first results had even been announced.

However, many fumed that Olivia hadn’t provided more drama by actually having the receipts to hand and accused her of ‘dodging the question’ and giving a ‘cop out answer’.
They tweeted: ‘LOL what was that bs answer? Liv definitely doesn’t have any receipts’; ‘Liv you’ve got one job. Expose the receipts otherwise this is embarrᴀssing.’
‘Liv needs to come with receipts, I don’t doubt her because Grace is definitely in the villa for clout but you can’t state something like that without backing it with receipts.’
‘Not Liv dodging the question’; ‘I just can’t respect olivia, you had so much to say trying to expose Grace but you come to the finale with no receipts?’
‘Liv could shut the negativity down by producing actual receipts!!! She clearly has nothing.. otherwise defend yourself! Being a beast to others then posting ’be kind’.’
‘Olivia not real enough for me because you had so much to say trying to expose Grace but you come to the finale with no receipts? With that accusation I would’ve pulled up like-‘
‘That was such a cop out answer from Liv! #noreceipts’; ‘SO NOW LIV WON’T EVEN SHOW THE RECEIPTS AND SHE WISHES GRACE AND LUCA THE BEST????? nah she’s so jarring i can’t do this’.
‘mixed opinions about liv kinda feel bad. for the hate she’s getting if she’s being honest but should’ve stayed quiet tbh it’s none of her business’.
