This UK Love Island Star Is Landing On Love Island Australia
Second times the charm!
First Scott van-der-Sluis tried his hand at Love Island US – and now we have another Love Island UK star who’s heading across the world!
This time, it’s none other than Lucinda Strafford, and she’s about to land on the Australian version of the show.

The 23 year old appeared on the seventh season of Love Island in 2021, where she entered the villa as a bombshell alongside Millie McCourt.
While on the show, Lucinda hit things off with fellow Islanders Hugo Hammond, Brad McClelland, and Aaron Francis.
Unfortunately, Lucinda didn’t make it all the way to the final, though she did get close to the finish line! The Brighton native was booted off while coupled up with Aaron during the fifth week.

Now two years later, Lucinda is going for gold again, but this time she’s jetted Down Under to take part in the Aussie version of the show.
A source told The Sun that “Lucinda is a bona fide Love Island legend so everyone’s really excited for even more viewers to enjoy her special brand of ditzy banter.”

They added that “of course people all around the world watch the global versions of Love Island so it’s likely the cast will know exactly who she is – and know she knows how to play the game – which always ruffles feathers.
“Lucinda is so excited to get grafting.” Exciting!
This particular season of the Australian show has already started filming, so while we know Lucinda is the first bombshell to hit the villa, the show hasn’t actually started yet.

It all kicks off Monday 30th, and we’d imagine the Islanders will get a few days to cosy up to one another before Lucinda lands to wreak havoc among the couples!
Good luck Lucinda – we hope you last a little longer than Scott did!
