Love Island star reveals Grace Jackson is ‘completely different’ on All Stars for one major reason

Grace Jackson only made her first appearance on Love Island last summer, but her fellow co-star, who also starred in the same villa, has said she’s “completely different” in her subsequent years.

After collaborating with Luca Bish, Grace Jackson seems content and at peace as the islanders begin to look for love in the South African villa.

But according to Grace’s pal and fellow season 11 contestant Nicole Samuel, Grace is different this time round, and it’s all because of one huge reason.

The Welsh beauty appeared on the Bombshell Briefing podcast for the Mirror, explaining Grace’s differences from last summer’s appearance.

After spending the summer with Grace in the villa just a few months ago, 24-year-old Nicole knows Grace well, and said she’s noticed a difference in her pal, and claims it’s because Joey Essex isn’t in there. After coupling up with Luca, Nicole said she’s noticed he’s brought out Grace’s “fun” side, compared to when she was previously in the villa.

She’s had a lot of fun this time, and I think her style is completely different this time. She doesn’t get into fights as frequently as she did last time with Joey. It’s bringing out the fun side. She’s not having someone jumping down her throat all the time”, Nicole explained. She said Joey would always “jump in” on her at “random times” and added: “I feel like she had a lot with him. If I had been her, I would never be able to deal with it in the manner that they did.

Nicole said they weren’t “major arguments” but said whenever Joey could slip a dig in he would – but said Grace “handled it like a boss”.

The former Love Islander also mentioned how shocked she was that Grace and Luca had gotten along and how well they could get along, and that he “makes her happy” because “he brings out her fun side.”

Weekly episodes of The Mirror’s website and platforms are available for the Love Island Bombshell Briefing. Love Island returns tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
