LOVE Island’s Grace and Joey have left fans convinced they never split before entering the villa after spotting a new “clue”.
On Tuesday night’s show, the couple – who have been technically pulled apart after the latest recoupling – were seen spending time together on the beanbags.
While Grace putting her legs over Joey, who stated stroking them, the couple started debating what the future held for them outside the villa.
During the chat, Grace admits that she fears that, back in reality, they could drift apart again.
“Obviously it is, like, a little bit in the back of my mind,” she said. “It’s going to be different on the outside.
“And obviously we did kind of start off in this kind of setting, where we were just spending every day together. You know, you’re just in your own little like, bubble, but, like, life does get involved.”
“It doesn’t keep me up at night, but obviously I would be lying if I said it’s not something I’ve thought about,” she added.
Joey agreed and later said that they should “go at their own pace”, telling her: “We can go at our pace. I’m glad the way we feel about each other in here, like it’s nice.
“We both want each other. I think that’s all that matters right now. We don’t have to put, like, any pressure on it.”
Some fans believed this latest conversation added to the fire that they had never really split, even though Grace mentions in the conversation they had “drifted apart” before reuniting in the villa.
“grace talking about moving in with Joey…they’re never beating the relationship allegations lol,” wrote one fan.
“Joey and grace playing in our faces like we can’t tell they never broke up,” said another.
“Joey defo knew Grace was coming into the villa, they slipped up saying they were messaging a couple of months b4 entering the villa,” wrote a third.
The new comments come after fans turned Joey and Grace, who barely escaped being dumped from the villa.
Voted one of the bottom four couples, Joey and Grace were saved by their fellow islanders who voted to send home Tiffany Leighton and Omar Nyame instead.
Viewers were fuming as, since their reunion, they have become convinced the couple had never split up before entering the villa.
The flames were fanned further by Samantha Kenny, who was coupled up with Joey before Grace’s arrival, during a chat with Maya Jama on Aftersun.
She hinted Joey knew all too well his model ex would be a bombshell, leaving her feeling like a “placeholder.”
Samantha continued: “I had a chat with him one day where he literally said you never know who might come through the door, and I was like ‘oh, OK.’
“And that’s when I was like, my toes curled and I tensed up,” she sighed.
Joey, 33, dated Grace, 25, briefly last year after meeting in Ibiza, but Grace added they left things “frosty” after their holiday fling.
However, at least to viewers, it has never been brought up, with the couple soon heading to the Hideaway and creating scenes so steamy they were cut from the show.
