ITV might have cancelled the Love Island 2024 reunion, but the cast headed out for their own big night out this week to catch up. It looks as though things got pretty loose, as they hit Radio Rooftop in London.

Among the partying Islanders were winners Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan, Grace Jackson, Samantha Kenny, Harriett Blackmore, Matilda Draper, Jessica Spencer, Reuben Collins, Jessy Potts, Blade Siddiqi, Konnor Edwudzi, Ciaran Davies, Ronnie Vint, Uma Jammeh and Wil Anderson.

After a night of cocktails at the venue, the cast were pictured keeping it going all night by picking up booze from a nearby Tesco, before heading off in taxis. Iconic.

At the reunion night out there was a big argument, and it ended with WhatsApp receipts being dropped

The biggest drama to come out of the Love Island reunion night out was a big fight between Casa Amor bombshells Ruby and Diamante, which ended in them dropping WhatsApp message receipts on each other. For some context, you may have forgotten both Ruby and Diamante had been speaking to Sean during Casa, and got dumped after he didn’t pick them – so there may be some bitterness between the pair.

They had a huge clash on the night out, and accused each other of being drunk as they fought in front of other cast members. On a TikTok live, Diamante began to rant about Ruby, whilst Casa Amor boy Lionel Awudu filmed the argument.

Ruby grabbed the camera, and said: “Basically, we went to an event, we went out after the event, Diamante went home after this event, and just blocked me. No, no, I’m not drunk! Ruby is not drunk!”

She then went on to wag her her finger at Diamante, who was stood behind her. Ruby went on: “She messaged me a big long message and I said, no hun, I’ve got no problem.”

Lionel later went live with Diamante on Instagram, and Diamante said: “I don’t drink. Guys, I don’t drink alcohol at all. Because it messes you up. I’ve literally just had an argument with her in there. Guys, I can’t get a break, I literally can’t get a break. Never in my life have I sent for someone, I’m always defending myself, I’ve literally come over here for a chilled night.

“The girl has come over here and started shouting at me, you’re not about to shout at me. Like you’re not my mother, you’re two years older than me so cut it out. Why are you upset that I blocked you, just leave it, I told you specifically what the issue was that your vibe was off. And then I blocked you. I’m just trying to have a good night. I don’t need all of this. I look too good for this you know!”

Diamante then held her phone up to the camera and showed the message Ruby had been going on about. Diamante had said: “I think it’s been very clear from the Sean situation that you have an issue with me. Exactly why? I don’t know. And it’s not really my business but your vibe yesterday was off. Obv we’ll have to see each other at other events but I’d respect it if we don’t fake a friendship for cameras and just never speak. I just cba.”

A very blunt reply from Ruby said: “Hi hun, I have no issue sorry you feel this way x.”

Jess W and Harry are getting close?!

There was even more drama on the reunion night out! Straight after the villa, Jess and Hugo announced they had split, and he was spotted snogging Charlotte Sumner, from Love Island 2023. Chaos, I know. But clearly Jess is moving on too, because she’s been spotted with Harry after the cast night out!

You remember Harry – he’s the Brummie lad who was convinced he could turn Grace’s head, but she was having none of it, so he got dumped. A shame. But now the headlines are all about Jess and Harry getting close. More crossovers, please!

There have been split rumours all over the place since the show ended, and Jessy and Joey are the latest to be hit with them. Following all the pictures of the reunion night out, people were quick to spot Joey was nowhere to be seen, and instead Jessy was pictured with Reuben – who famously didn’t get on with Joey. Yikes.

Samantha has got a new *love themed* tattoo

Samantha was very unlucky in love during Love Island 2024, getting dumped when things didn’t work out with Joey. But she clearly hasn’t lost the faith, as she has revealed a very cute love-themed tattoo she’s had done since the villa.

She posted a picture on Instagram, showing she has had “love always” inked on the side of her wrist.

Sean and Matilda have spoken more in depth about their life after Love Island

Sean and Matilda have been fairly quiet since the villa, but have now spoken out about their plans. Chatting with DigitalSpy, Sean said: “I feel like we want to spend more time with each other, spend time with friends and family, take Matilda to Hertford, spend time with each other on holiday.

“I’ve got a few things planned. Just date nights and enjoying the freedom of this new life we’re going into. It’s all very exciting, and I’m looking forward to it.”

Matilda added: “Just carry on dating, having new experiences together. We’ve got so many firsts we’re about to have. It’s just so exciting.”

Tiffany has revealed that during her time as a Love Island 2024 bombshell she was in tears most days, but it was cut from the final edit of the show.

She appeared on TOWIE star Chloe Brockett’s podcast, and said: “If someone tries to have an argument with me, I just cry…none of that was shown but I’m just a cry baby. I hate any beef like that.” Tiffany added she was always crying because of fights with the girls, and said: “I felt like there were situations with the girls…I’m not going to be like arguing over a situation over a boy, do you know what I mean?”
