One of her friends spilled all the gossip to the publication, saying that Lucy will definitely bring some drama to the villa. They said: “Lucy is looking for a man who is loyal and isn’t too controlling. She’s very much a free spirit who beats to her own drum. I expect her to be herself.

“She sometimes may come across as mean or a bitch due to her honest nature but she is a girl’s girl and is a sweetheart once you get to know her. But if someone crosses her she won’t have a problem speaking her mind. She can be problematic.”
