Lucinda is back on our screens once again for Love Island All Stars, but let’s not forget that just three months ago in October she and Zac Campbell won a whopping $250k in Love Island Games<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now listen, I’m not saying she’s run out of that prize money but…<\/p>\n

Whilst Zac and Lucinda did leave Love Island Games as a semi-couple, they didn’t exactly seem like they wanted to lock their relationship down when speaking to Swooon<\/a> after the season.<\/p>\n

At the time, Isaiah and Lucinda explained: \u201cI think the best way to go about things is to not really super stress about stuf.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, obviously, we\u2019ve known each other for two and a half weeks. So it\u2019s obviously baby steps, and I\u2019m obviously trying to explore a connection with her more, for sure.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo she\u2019s busy, I\u2019m busy, but I do like her, and I enjoy her time a lot. And I think she\u2019s beautiful, so, yeah, we\u2019ll see where things go.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair also discussed their plans for the future in another interview with Us Weekly<\/a>, with Isaiah saying: \u201cObviously, Love Island Games is half the length of a normal Love Island and we met midway through.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, I do like her. I enjoy spending time with her and I do think it\u2019s obviously going to be tough with us being long distance. But it\u2019s one flight away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lucinda added: \u201cI want to come back for Halloween. I think I need to go home for at least a week. Just to see my house and see my family. I\u2019ll definitely come to Florida.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a bit of a travel bug anyway, so I don\u2019t really stay at home very long. It actually works quite well in this because I\u2019m always away. Sometimes I just go away for months.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair didn’t last too long after Love Island Games, with Lucinda then getting back together with Mert Okatan, who she was briefly coupled up with on the show<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, they conveniently split at the end of December, with the main issue seemingly being their language barrier, as Lucinda spoke about during a podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She explained: “Yeah so me and Mert have broken up but that’s really sad as well, the whole thing was just really weird. I was coupled up with Mert for a week and he couldn’t really speak proper English, but there was a connection there.<\/p>\n

“We really fancied each other and we really got on but he just physically could not communicate with me, I feel like I need depth and he has depth, but with his communication is was just really hard.<\/p>\n

“And I couldn’t speak Dutch so it was just really difficult to speak to each other having a normal conversation, there was a lot of repeating and stuff.”<\/p>\n

And given that the winners of Love Island All Stars receive a hefty \u00a350k, perhaps Lucinda decided to get back in the villa purely for the vibes, and a bit of extra cash in her pocket.<\/p>\n
