LUCA Bish’s mum has waded into the fight between Olivia Hawkins and Grace Jackson that’s left fans divided.
On Sunday night’s show, Olivia joined a group of All Stars in returning to the villa to pick a couple to dump before the finale.

The group had to choose between three couples – Harriett Blackmore and Ronnie Vint, Catherine Agbaje and Omar Nyame, and Elma Pazar and Sammy Root – who had been left vulnerable by a public vote.
However, things got heated when Olivia, while casting her vote to boot Harriett and Ronnie, took aim at Grace saying she and Luca should be up for elimination.
When asked why, Olivia claimed she’d seen texts from Grace saying she would do ‘anything it takes’ to win – suggesting her relationship with Luca was fake.
However, she refused to say who the messages were sent to, and what they actually said.
With fans divided and sides being taken, Luca’s mum Maria stepped in to give her two thoughts on Instagram, declaring: “Liv you told me you wouldn’t stop at anything to get with Luca when he left the island. So this is interesting.”
Fans spotted the comment and went wild at Luca’s mum backing Grace up, sharing the comment to X/Twitter.
“Oh oh the mother knows best.” wrote one.
Another wrote: “Did Luca’s mother actually type this out? Oooph embarrassing”
As the drama boiled up in the villa, Grace asserted to Luca: “Baby, that is absolutely not true. I do not care about winning this show.”
However it was only made worse when Samie Elishi also claimed to have seen the messages.
But Grace wasn’t having any of it, adding: “On my life, I have never written that sentence in my life. It’s b******t, and someone’s forged that, that’s not true. I am gobsmacked.”
In the debate that’s unfolded since the moment, Grace’s ex Reuben Collins has backed her up as well, calling the accusation “fake news”.
However, other former islanders, including Mitch Taylor and Ella Thomas, have both seemingly backed Liv on social media.
Either way, the pair are now set to win tonight’s finale, becoming the bookies favourite as the end draws near.
The couples up for the crown are: Curtis and Ekin-Su ; Grace and Luca; Catherine and Omar; Elma and Sammy and Gabby Allen and Casey O’Gorman.
Love Island All Stars continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
