Lucie Donlan and Joe Garratt are seemingly giving their romance another go outside of the Love Island villa, after they were pictured walking hand-in-hand during a romantic stroll on a beach in Cornwall.
The couple, who were loved up on the ITV2 show before Joe was sent home before surfer Lucie, looked smitten as they put on a romantic display for a photoshoot near Lucie’s home in Newquay.
The blonde beauty, 21, and Joe, 22, couldn’t keep their hands off each other, with the reality TV star flashing his toned physique as he sported an unbuttoned white shirt for the day out, with Lucie matching in a gorgeous long-sleeve lace dress.
Gazing at each other as they walked through the grass, the pair appeared to confirm that their relationship is back on as they kept a firm grasp of each other before putting on a playful display for the shoot.
Despite expressing her strong feelings for co-star Tommy Fury during her time in the villa, it appears Lucie has gone back to Joe, who she coupled up with in the early days of this year’s ITV2 show.
Lucie also expressed a strong interest in George Rains, who she was inseparable with after they were both dumped from the villa, despite dumping him on the show.
Joe previously teased that the relationship was back on as he opened up on things with Lucie after they were spotted kissing just days after the show came to an end at the ITV party.
He told Heart FM: “We just had a good catch up, we haven’t really spoken too much. Yeah it was really nice. We might have had a little kiss. That’s between me and you though, right? Between me and you.”
However, Lucie wasn’t quite convinced at the time that things would work with Joe, insisting they were just friends when speaking to Metro.
The surfer explained: “We saw each other at the ITV party. We’re just staying as friends. For me, we had an amazing two weeks at the beginning and a great connection. It was so much fun and I really did like him.
“Obviously I chose to stay and met George, and then the Tommy thing. I think now I need to chill out a bit,” she added.
“It was a bit full on. I put so much effort into each guy and now I need to have a breather and see what happens.”
