New Love Island contestant Arabella Chi appeared to drop a huge hint that she is still involved with former islander Charlie Frederick as she came face to face with his ex Lucie Donlan.

The 28-year-old model caused a stir as she arrived in the villa during last night’s episode, with Lucie (who dated Charlie earlier this year) immediately admitting to having previously “stalked” her on social media.

“I literally recognise you,” she told her. “You’re my ex’s ex.”

Arabella quickly responded with “Well, not ex, not ex,” adding: “There was definitely no crossover, though.”

Yesterday, Charlie claimed that the pair were still together when the model left for Majorca and said that he was now feeling “completely mugged off.”

“Right so this is an absolute madness for me,” he wrote on Instagram Stories. “Finding out that a person I’m seeing on a serious level has just strolled into the villa completely disregarding my feelings and our relationship or what we had.

He added: “I’m truly upset that Arabella has lied to me about what she was doing and claiming she had a campaign but instead going into Love Island.”

The former reality star, who briefly appeared on last year’s show, said that their relationship had “ups and downs” but told followers that he was “truly gutted” and “cannot for the life of me figure out why she has done this.”

A spokesperson for ITV told Standard Online: “Arabella was single when she went into the villa.”

Her remarks during last night’s show left some viewers convinced that she might still be dating Charlie, though her comments could also suggest that she had not viewed their relationship as particularly serious.

“Is it just me or when Lucy said ‘you’re my ex’s ex’ to Arabella she responded ‘not ex,’ and their ex Charlie is claiming he was still seeing her?? Bit sus,” one fan wrote on Twitter.

“Did you not notice last night when Lucy said we share the same ex arabella said something like not ex,” another viewer pointed out.

A third Twitter user suggested that the producers should “get Arabella and Lucies [sic] ex in” in order to create yet more drama.

After admitting that she was not afraid to “step on toes” in the villa, Arabella chose to go on dates with Danny and Anton during last night’s show.

Her tete a tete with fellow model Danny caused him to question his connection with Yewande, as he admitted: “I feel like I’m putting a lot of the effort in and I’m not getting anything back.

“I’m starting to question whether we’re compatible. When you said you wanted to take me on a date, I was really excited.”

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
