Love Island fans convinced Grace is going to couple up with bombshell after spotting clue in episode

THEY say that blondes have more fun and if this age-old adage is true then Love Island’s Grace Jackson is certainly living proof.

First, she ruffled feathers earlier this week, by taking aim for bombshell Josh Oyinsan, 29, even though he expressed a firm interest in mental health nurse, Mimi Ngulube, 24.

Now eagled-eyed viewers have spotted that Grace was holding hands with Reuben Collins, 23, as they were filmed sitting close together on the pink sofa.

They flooded social media with their keen analysis.

One said: “Anyone see Grace and Reuben holding hands while talking after Joey came back from his date with Lolly? Do we think they’re going to couple up? I think if Grace moved to Josh it would cause a civil war and she probably knows it.”

Another said: “It makes sense at this point, since they don’t have many options.”

Meanwhile another said: “I just want Grace to have someone and make it far, because I don’t want Joey to watch her get dumped off the show.”

Another viewer underscored the fact that the sun will soon set on Casa Amor, as the series end is in sight.

They said: “Grace is kind of running out of options. Surprising as I think she’s the most beautiful girl in there.”

Grace initially coupled up with her former flame, TV star Joey Essex, but that came to a close when bombshell Jessy Potts arrived on the scene.

Then she found herself in a love triangle with butler-in-the-buff, Blade Siddiqui, 29, and personal trainer, Moziah Pinder, as the two men vyed for her affections, with Blade eventually coming out on top.

But after that connection failed, the Manchester-born model was accused of being a snake by the social media police, as she slithered towards footballer Josh, despite his connection with Mimi.

Viewers were stunning when she pulled him aside for a chat, just moments after he’d emerged from the hideaway with Mimi.

Josh said:  “I didn’t know you would have such good chat, don’t take that in a rude way.

“It’s mind-boggling to me that you’re single especially after hearing you speak now.”

Grace said: “I feel I’ve got good qualities,” to which Josh replied: “I think you’ve got fantastic qualities.”

She went on: “I just don’t think I’ve met the right person for it and I think the guys I were seeing before I came in here were a bit younger.”

Josh added: “So you need someone 29,” as Grace laughed: “29 is the perfect age.”

Fans were soon left fuming at Grace as they slammed her on X, formerly Twitter.

One wrote: “Grace in her villain era,” while another added: “Grace is such a snake,” and a third agreed: “Grace is such a snake.”

Someone else raged: “Is it not love Island? Mimii thought she found something solid, why would she leave that at the time?

“Would people say the same thing about Nicole? + f**k that. Grace is a villain. Her treatment towards Sam + then Jesy was telling.”

One more concluded: “Mimi did not like that speech and I don’t blame her – she specifically told him that she wanted someone who only had eyes for her – she will close him down now – oh and Grace is a snake.”
