Lucinda Strafford’s ‘boyfriend’ Aaron Connolly reportedly looked after her dog while she was in Love Island.

At the time, her ex posted a photo of her beloved dog looking out the window, joking he’d seen a “10/10.”

They’ll no doubt reunite soon so she can get her dog back.

While the fashion boutique owner was in the villa it was reported she’d never actually split from her ex and they’d secretly stayed as a couple while she embark on her Love Island journey.

An insider said at the time: “Lucinda and Aaron reconciled before she went on Love Island.

“It was meant to be a big secret because there are strict rules about it.

“No one wants to watch a dating show where the stars are really pining for lovers back home.

“Aaron was only too happy looking after Lucinda’s dog. It makes him feel like they are still the couple they are.”

The couple apparently split earlier this year but they reportedly secretly reunited before she flew to Mallorca.
