Love Island’s Lucie Donlan is hopeful she and Tommy Fury may date in a "few years."
The professional boxer is currently loved up with influencer Molly-Mae Hague, but the surfer – who has been open about her feelings for the hunk on more than one occasion – is adamant that she’d "never say never" about them getting together in the future.
Speaking after she was kicked out of the villa in tonight’s (09.07.19) episode, Lucie said: "Me and Tommy will always be best friends.
"I’ve had best friends and then dated them and then still been best friends after. I think a lot of girls think it’s odd but I can turn things on and off really easily.
"You’ll always have a love for a best friend whether it’s a boy or a girl but at times it can mean different things. I want to see how things go with him and Molly- Mae, I can see he really likes her. I’m happy for them. I feel like we’ll see what happens on the outside and how those guys will go but never say never, if we did come to that romantic stage in a few years and me and Tommy were still friends, you never know."
And, although she’s "gutted" that things didn’t work out between her and Tommy, the model would jump at the chance to go back into the villa and "have fun" with everyone.
She explained: "I would definitely want to go back into the villa! I was loving it. After Casa Amor, I got to know George and that didn’t go how I thought it would and then I realised I liked Tommy. Although I liked him romantically, he was my best friend so it was nice to see your best friend so happy. At the same time, I was a bit gutted. I would love to go back in and just have fun with everyone."
Following the quadruple dumping last night, producers have chucked two new people – Francesca Allen and Chris Taylor – into the villa to shake things up.
